i finished setting up my ssds and i was wondering if my ssd on srt cache my music files if i access them a lot? cause thatd be such a waste

SRT works automatically, so don't worry about it. Once you set the cache, nothing is 'wasted'

any recommendations on a good affordable(~$100) router?currently have a dlink dir615 and its not the greatest and its pretty old. can barely get 3 bars of wifi signal from like 15feet away. will be using a asus n53 usb to connect to it if thats any help.

asus rt-n56

i have the linksys EA2700 and has great signal. if you want really good signal the e4200 is the best

EA6500 is the king of Linksys now.

man i feel so outdated ahahah didn't even realize that there was a 6500

So I bought a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard/touch pad, since my wireless mouse died, and it can put my laptop to sleep and wake it up as well!

sweet keyboard
hows the range on that thing? i'm thinking of replacing my shitty keyboard/mouse combo for my htpc

Sweet. Guess it does work

well i only just tried it in my viewing room and i was about 20ft away from the screen, clear view (nothing in the way), so im not entirely sure; at least 20ft



edit: just did a search Logitech claims 33ft



yeah i was quite pleased and surprised

i went to check out a couple reviews on this router...and there were alot of bad reviews...i think im leaning towards the asus n56 or maybe the n65

Didn't say it was good or bad, just that it's the top linksys model. ;-) too soon to buy ac routers imo.

It is, just wait for the tech to mature a bit. I'm still worried about the 5GHz signal ranges, they degrade quite a bit through walls/distance.

The RT-N56u's definitely a great router to go with, given that you can bear with it not having any 3rd party firmware, and the fact that it runs hot even with proper positioning.

ive got the N56, have had it for a year+ now

its a great router, love the ui, looks, havent had to reset it once a week ;) but the 5ghz signal is weak; i've got the router in my office and upstairs +1 room over in the kitchen the 5ghz is weak and drops

id try the n66u instead

omggg was gonna buy corsair sp fans for 10$ each with pm but theyre sold out now :( they're the only things i need left to finish my build

nvm found a solution

bought a samsung 24" monitor during boxing week sales and just bought the displayport cable for it today.
didn't realize how expensive displayport cables are...
best i can place the monitors with the space i have on my desk

Holy look at that mess
:eek2:

anyone have this or have listened to them?

Edifier S550 5.1 Speaker Set 280W RMS Black Wired Remote with LCD Display

how is the quality, is it worth the price, and what other speakers would you recommend?

While I have no experience with these speakers, I highly suspect that you could get better sound for roughly the same amount of money if you spend it on a pair of good headphones + entry level amp. Of course, headphones and a 5.1 speaker system aren't even remotely similar, but if your goal is to get some better sound, I think the headphone+amp route should at least deserve some consideration.

i asked a friend and he recommended me the a5+, or the a2 + s8 sub
and im not a fan of using headphones =/
i have to do some research first

someone's selling gtx 590 on bst for $150 :ahwow:
while another is seilling gtx 480 for $300 :suspicious:

you can get a 580 for like $250 lol


why didnt i see the 590 earlier :(
would've bought it in a heartbeat

Damn, I missed that? :(

Also, am I nuts for wanting a HP Envy 14 Spectre? I know it's hardware is one generation old but it still one of the best looking laptops out there.
