Thank you so so so much.

Hey guys
 
where do you guys think I might be able to get something like what they use of LTT for there test bench.
 
I have seen one by Ebay buy Lian-Li which is priced at an outrageous £110-179. Which is just crazy.
 
Thanks

David

well it depends on your setup, if you have a NAS box like a Synology one then it most likey has some backup option built into the OS, either being able to backup to the NAS's manufacturer's personal private paid cloud backup solution, if they have one (or third party cloud backup solution that is supported) or being able to backup to another Synology NAS device over the internet.
if you are running a windows server there are a load of backup programs that can do just that, like Acronis Backup ( https://www.acronis.com/en-au/business/backup/windows-server/ ) or ShadowProtect ( https://www.storagecraft.com/products/shadowprotect ) these are just examples, your have to do your own research on what backup solution would be best for you
for linux, again there are a load of backup solutions for Linux, like Bacula ( http://blog.bacula.org/ ) or Amanda ( http://www.amanda.org/ ), again these are just examples, your will have to do some research yourself to find the best backup solution for you
 
if you don't want to do that (or are unsure what would be best for you), tag me and i'll help you out as best as i can.

You need a router

For me, I would always recommend AMD flavors as you tend to get more for the money both in motherboards and cpu's, 
 
Something like MSI A320M GRENADE AM4 would be a great entry level AM4 motherboard with some features, personally, I wouldn't bother with overclocking as you need to do a ton of research, and hit a ton of pigeon holes for something that you wouldn't see the most out of.
 
In regards of the graphics card, having one is better than not up to a point, for example, I have just sold a GTX750ti for £100 at that costing you would get a lot more out of upgrading your motherboard or CPU to the next one.
 
Thats my thinking anyway :-) 
 
 

Btw good job on getting almost 10 years out of your current system.  
 
It does sound like it's time for an upgrade.  DDR4 prices aren't cheap right now and if you are going with a Ryzen based build you will want to aim for the fastest memory you can fit into the budget.  

My little one uses a Logitech Logitech M187 Wireless value wireless mouse that is only around 3 inches long and uses my keyboard but I use the number pad as her qweasdzxc keys. I also make sure she has to use a wrist rest on both to make it so it feels wrong to one without them. 

I think you have a misconception about overclock. Increasing the CPU frequency (clock) will not make websites load faster, that depends on your internet connection speed, if you notice slow loading times you should check your network, overclock will make the cores process more instructions per second (work faster) to increase performance, simple benchmarks are a way to measure how much extra performance you gain from an oc.
 
About the CPU, the 8100 and the 8400 aren't for overclock so both come with a stock fan while the 8350k doesn't, if you're on a tight budget I wouldn't recommend getting a K CPU since you'll have to buy a cooler and that would be more expensive than getting the i5, having more cores will help your OS but these will run at 2.8GHz and the Turbo will only increase 1 core speed up to 4GHz (the rest up to 3.8GHz) but only for a limited time since the frequency is tied to the TDP which is only 65W but if you're not going to game or run intensive programs in your computer that shouldn't be a problem at all
 
The graphics card? Stick to the onboard GPU

It doesn't really matter, so long as you can get the internet line from the ISP to the first box and from there to wherever

The biggest question for me is why? Unless you're directly connected and getting an external IP address then it won't do anything really but give you a different DHCP lease on the local network.
 
You could always try changing it to something else or reverting back and then using the same address but increment the last digit by 1

Before we get into all the intricacies of setting up your home network...
 
Phone line? As in... DSL? Let's make sure that's not the first thing you need to take care of for your bandwidth woes.

The limitation is for copper itself, fiber is much more resilient and can span much MUCH longer distances
 
 
Signal degradation will cause issues over 300 feet. If you have something at the end of those 300 feed like a switch which will then pass the signal another 300 or so feet before issues arise again and you need another piece of equipment at the end to "refresh" the signal.

stay below 100m per cable and you will not have any issues if you use a real CAT 6 cable

max length for a single point to point connection via LAN is 100m
 
this means you could go 100m from router to the switch and than another 100 from the switch.
 
unless you got a massive mansion you will not have any issues.

At or over 100 meters or ~300 feet is where you'll start to have issues.

I've never had issues with around ~225 feet.

Which one? 
 
This is the one you've probably seen the most of lately: https://openbenchtable.com/
