  1. Seeing all these new 2 wheel hoverboard things and electric longboards that are becoming popular now a days, what are some other "Portable transportation" devices that not many people know about? (electric obviously)

  2. I have no more space for drives, my case has 4 3.5" drive bays and I have 5 drives in total (4 HDD's and 1 SSD) so I literally have the SSD on top of the drive cage just sitting there. Aaaaannnd all my drives are full, I have a 2tb that I want to put in but no idea where I can safely put it, ideas? Cheap or free would be best. 

  3. I'm starting a kickstarter soon and am currently working through the planning stages. I just started working on the project page itself and was looking for some feedback since im about half-way through.

     

    A few things before you start reading 

    • I have no graphics yet, things in the square brackets are where there will be photos/graphics
    • I will be updating it as people are viewing, so if you refresh there may be something new
    • The shipping dates on the rewards are placeholders, they will be changed when I start the campaign to something appropriate

    Leave feedback here or on the page itself, thanks guys! :)

  4. I'm looking for a new GPU, preferably under $200 (+/- $10 if needed) including shipping .etc. Shopping in Canada.

     

    Mainly want to play games like Assetto Corsa and GTAV on high 1080p at playable, my r9 270 gets 60fps on Assetto Corsa maxed out (single car race). 

     

    the 270 is starting to shit the bed and since I took it apart they won't give me a refund or RMA, which is why I need a new one. any suggestions? or should I just get another 270? I kind of want to go towards GTX since I have never had a Nvidia card and Shadowplay looks interesting...

  5. Steam link is coming out soon, I know you are looking to do it now, but you can at least look forward to it. Will give you exactly what you need. :)

     

     

    The USB is the thing, I don't know if somehting like that would work over streaming on a set top box. I assume certain drivers need to be present for that sort of thing. In that case a cheap HTPC might be better.

     

    Examples of streaming boxes are things lik a roku or shield.

     

     

    Get a better processor if you're gonna do Steam streaming, that Pentium D probably won't be up to the task.

     

    I feel like the cheapest way would be to just take the pc up and down. Thanks for the suggestions!

  6. I am setting up a racing simulator in my basement in front of my 60" TV, but my PC is in my room 2 floors up. What would be the cheapest and best way to get the game on my TV and the input from the wheel to my PC? Could I setup a cheap PC from parts lying around (like a Pentium D and a AMD 5000 Series GPU) and use it for steam in home streaming? Does it even support having controllers?

     

    Or should I just run a HDMI cable all the way down? (I already have Ethernet cables running from the basement to the top floor)

     

    Maybe HDMI over Ethernet? But I have no idea how to get the USB up there.
