I find 7zip to be more useful and universal.

IntelBurn Test, Prime95 or Aida64 to stress

HWmonitor for temps

 

can't forget McAfee!

Basically, I found the perfect combo of apps to create the poormans 1pass/lastpass alternative.

 

KeePass - I use this to manage my passwords for various websites. It generates passwords for me and stores them in an encrypted DB. Which I can unlock with 1 password.

Chromeipass - Hooks into the keepass DB to request user/pass for detected sites.

Dropbox - I store my password DB in dropbox so that I can access everything regardless of what device I'm using.

 

AIDA64 - I use this to primarily for the OSD panel.

Putty - No way of controlling my server without it

Kodi - I watch all my media on this

Plex - Watch all of my media on mobile devices using this.

Everything - This handy little tool indexes all of my hard drives and provides instant searching. MUCH MUCH more powerful than the built in windows search...100x faster too

DropIt - I use this to monitor my dropbox folder for camera uploads. I have it automagically sort my photos into various folders. year taken/month taken/, and then if it's over a year old I'll move the photos out of dropbox and onto my server.

winbox - I use this to monitor my router and configure it. more convenient than the webui

SpaceMonger - I use this to keep graphically keep track of my hard drive space and find out just what is taking up all that space.

TrueCrypt - for encrypting stuff

My Server - Update 1 - Update 2 - Update 3 - Update 4

How much did it cost? According to official web - 40€ doesn't look a cheap to me.

Most important are Chrome, Utorent, and Skyrim with all it's mods

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

You are allowed to have animated avatars on LTT, but - try to have images like "userbars" in the signature - no chance...

Excels last cell is XFD1048576 and once was IV65536.

(if you want to have the most effective mousepad - use a colored matte floor tile)
