Hi, For roughly 100 office users we are currently using one server with the following specs: HP Proliant ML350p Gen8 Xeon E5-2620 2.00GHz 32 GB RAM Four: 10K SAS 600GB Raid 10 One power supply However we'd like to upgrade. Any suggestions?

What the title says. I'm leaning towards the 390X at the moment.

http://blog.logitech.com/2016/04/12/music-just-got-better/ Thoughts on the acquisition? Do you think this is a good move? To be honest I think it's okay. Not much of a big deal but it's an interesting acquisition by Logitech.

What the title says. I'd rather not look at other headphone options, I just want to choose between these three. Thoughts?

(apologies for being an audio noob)

Rocket League $19.99 Cites Skylines $14.99 (or with After Dark DLC $14.99) Rivals of Aether $14.99 Thoughts?

Excuse me for my grammar, but how can I learn the scenes of LoL, Dota 2, and CS:GO? I really do not know almost all the teams, notable people, commentators, terms, and greatest moments, but I would really like to learn the competitive scene in all three games. I mean, I know the scenes of Super Smash Bros 4 and Melee pretty well, but not CS:GO/LoL/Dota 2.

So, I think my GPU has ran its course... My 4 year old GTX 555 has been acting up like crazy since yesterday and I've reinstalled nvidia drivers and switched HDMI ports but it still does this: http://imgur.com/f7CW1O5 Sigh.

It looks like Sony Vegas, but I ensured myself that I am wrong. Any ideas?

Should I buy a Samsung 4K monitor (around $500) or a ASUS PB287Q monitor? (around $560) Have to keep my 4K budget monitor under $600, so uh yeah.

Introduction: Tired of not knowing which part is compatible? Tired of making posts to ask questions about the little things? Look no further! I, Dr. Idiot, would gladly help you! So, let's begin! XenoTechTips: So, you began to plan out your PC build. You either have some knowledge or not about PCs. You get lost in the internet, trying to clear up thoughts. Fear no more! The best way to start up a build is to.... PCPartPicker (I can't not stress that enough to new people) So why PCPartPicker? First of all, it allows: Easy and simple control of your build Allows you to check compatibility and wattage Allows you to see your budget, prices, and retailers ChooseMyPC.net (Creates a foundation for your build) Although many people usually go here, I'd advise to put the build generated into PCPartPicker as some parts can sometimes be sketchy and you can usually choose better ones. AnandTech (Benchmarks for components) I strongly suggest this website, as it has decent benchmarks for GPUs, CPUs, and SSDs. LinusTechTips (obviously) YOU'RE ON THIS WEBSITE. Conclusion: So now that you have the resources, go build a PC already! Don't make lists of parts off of one retailer! I swear. If you do it again...

Its getting so annoying. I can't run anything as administrator, I can't open up .exe files, and I just wanna throw my PC out of the window. I know there has to be malware but I can't open up malwarebytes because of error. Woopie-do. I've done that UAC registry and it still won't work.

Apparently for the past 2 months I have been having this issue. Its utterly annoying, not allowing me to install or play certain games that use launchers. It also screwed up my PC to the point where I can't use CMD as as a admin, saying "this file does not have a program associated with it" Plus, I can't even open up the start menu when I try to left click the start button (or whatever its called) This is frustrating. Its getting to the point where I'm about to buy a new OS because I'll be honest, I messed up. I downloaded windows 10 but this is where the problem originated. File system error! File System error! I uninstalled windows 10 and somehow it reverted me back to windows 8.1 instead of windows 7 and now I can't even click the start button. File system errors are the bane of my existence. Good grief.

So uh yeah. I've decided to wipe my HDD sometime later on this month. I can't access the windows button because I've uninstalled Windows 10 and oddly went back to windows 8.1 instead of windows 7.

I'm just gonna use the phone for communication and some casual gaming. I also want the phone's screen to be durable, as well with some good performance. A decent camera would be nice.

So I've just got a TP-Link router to replace my shitty Arris router that Time Warner provided. Any steps I should take in order to install the new router?

So I've just installed a setup of 5 cheap android phones to farm for some passive income ($30 per phone) and I am a bit questionable about it. It of course impacts my internet by a lot, further reducing my ability to play online gaming smoothly. Is this legal? Do I need any sound to keep the phones running ads and whatnot to farm?

Basically I just want some people to come and play either co-op or multiplayer on some of my games that I have.

Color scheme is SUPPOSED to be YELLOW/BLACK, which is pretty obvious because of the build's name, if you ever decide to change any parts out. I am using this PC for streaming, video editing, and gaming as well.

Steelseries Siberia v2 HyperX Cloud Pro Corsair Vengeance 1500 v2 If you have any other suggestions, at least keep it under $90.

I'm putting it around the case's window, will 30 cm be enough? I know I'll have to cut off some LED strips.

I will plan to do 4k gaming when I get my build finished. What should I stick with? 290X CF? Wait for the 300 series? Or perhaps wait for new cards from Nvidia instead?

Pre-Review Details: Directors: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg Genre: Comedy/Action? (Michael Bay Cameo somewhat included) Name: The Interview (2014) Introduction: So one night, I forgot that "The Interview" was showing on Christmas so I got out my wallet and decided, "Hey, why not?" and purchased the film through Google Play. However, when I watched it, it just felt like a huge disappointment. Besides the amount of controversy following this movie (Completely Obvious, I mean this is North Korea for pete sakes), the film itself fails to deliver for what it is. Its an average, dumb-downed Seth Rogen movie, with humor that suits to more younger audiences. Not in particular my cup of tea, as its just basically crude humor and a showcase of Seth Rogen's ability of comedy. The media hype, in my opinion, has made this movie a disappointment. Opinions, Opinions, Opinions: The humor presented here is just immature and feels cheap. Even the script, it feels like someone wrote it with no creativity at all other then sticking to the concept of a Political Comedy. Other than that, this film is below my expectations of what Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg could deliver. With all the controversy, the level of expectations from the public was high, and well it received a mixed/fair amount of feedback. Some people, say that the comedy is "Solid Gold" or its what expected from Seth Rogen. Others, state the film was over hyped and was delivered poorly. Honestly, it feels like Sony just rushed this to make quick cash and give a big "Fuck you" to those who was interested/excited to see this movie, such as myself. I mean hey, this movie faced Lizard Squad (hackers that were responsible) and concerns/threats from North Korea themselves. With all the hype, there can be definitely some changes to rush production. Movie specific opinions aside, the technology within this film is what is expected. This was produced by Point Grey Pictures which is a company by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg themselves, and distributed by Columbia pictures. You get this "TRIPLE AAA CINEMATIC MOVIE" feel like its is "The Dark Knight". 3D is not present (I think), which is acceptable. I think this movie was recorded in 24/30 fps, but I may have to research that later on. And the score is.....4/10 Its lackluster, bland, immature comedy from Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg is disappointing, as well the film itself, which is over hyped and feels like it was rushed. Its a little bit enjoyable with the action scenes and music, but that's just about it. The pop culture/Movie references is overwhelming and its just unappealing. I mean they even paid celebrities to make a short cameo. If you want to watch this movie, feel free to do so. I really recommend reading other reviews before watching. Obviously consider this review when watching because you just read all of it. Take caution and this movie may appeal to your sense of humor somewhat. This film is just not my cup of tea.

Been browsing for GTX 970s for my planned build. Any recommendations? It will be a two way SLI.
