Should I get the USB ones or the PCI-E ones?
Are they both equally as stable?

From my experience, the USB ones are a lot more flexible than the PCI-E ones because it is generally easier to put the USB receiver somewhere (via an extended USB cable) that has good reception, and you don't waste any of your precious PCI-E slots.

I bought myself the powerline and never looked back... I bought a wireless powerline the other day because my parents where getting annoyed with the wireless signal... Plugged the wireless powerline in the hallway and disable the wireless signal on the telus modem and now the wireless is awesome upstairs AND downstairs..
now they can watch their shows on their TVpad2 they bought at yohan...  | |

Great... got a WHEA uncorrectable BSOD yesterday. Worst out of the worst to troubleshoot.
Anyone gone through this? I suspect its my CPU/PSU/RAM/Mobo... Going to take a look time. I didn't catch the specific error code, but I will take a look at the dump file when I get home from work

^ The 24" will most likely be 279.99 or 269.99. most likely be tomorrow or friday's daily deal with dell.
Also, Broadwell? Aimed mostly towards mobile computing....I think the performance diff is minimal. AnandTech | Intel Demos 14nm Broadwell: Up to 30% Lower Power than Haswell | |

Been piecing together parts for a while now and I think I've got everything I need to get started and build my own PC for the first time. I'm actually pretty excited although because I am clumsy as fuck there is a nagging feeling I'm going to wreck something.

also a tip from Linus.. Pre-assemble outside of the case quickly to make sure it boots up.. nothing worse then having put everything in and it doesnt work, then you gotta take out of the case and figure whats wrong...
