I'd like to know the answer to this too
I just can't trust the bastards to park by themselves

What OS are you going to install? Might as well install a really old version of Windows on an SSD for shits and giggles
Partition every 2mb of space, then put it in a storage space pool with parity.
No more fragmentation :^)
No cpu fan, say you're going passive for a quiet build but just take the fan off a stock cooler and use that.

Torque down some screws way too hard and crack the PCB.

nice theoretical paper launch nvidia, what happened to the $370 cards with 3'rd party coolers they were talking about?

Partition it because you want to have a drive for each type of file (photos, videos, games, etc.)[/QUOTE]
Hot glue SSD's or 2.5" drives to the reverse of the motherboard plate.

I need a tow truck
I once had a post I put together with detailed pictures on how to make your hard drive into a solid state drive. You should incorporate it. Take a 2.5" mechanical drive, put it in a small container of water, and freeze it. Instant SSD.
So today I bought a Dell S2716DG to pair up with my other 1440p monitor, and something strange happened.
Both of them work fine on their own, but once plugged in together, neither of the monitors receive a signal from the computer. Can monitors be incompatible or something with eachother?
Info incase you need it:
Primary monitor: Dell S2716DG (27", 1440p, 144Hz, G-Sync) - Plugged in via displayPort
Secondary Monitor: AOC Something-or-other-i-forgot-the-number (27", 1440p, 60Hz) - Plugged in via DVI
edit: Fixed, the DP port my monitor was plugged into was faulty

I was thinking fill it with glue through the side opening, then removing the lid a few weeks later when it's set.
If we are still on the topic of what not to do when building a computer:
Force the Ethernet cable into a USB port
Force a USB cable into an Ethernet port
Hot glue EVERYTHING
Seal the case by hot gluing it
Wrap the RAM sticks in duct tape

tl;dr Card manufacturers make cards that are better than founders so why would they price the card lower than founders? (I'm not saying that the price is reasonable, this is probably their logic on pricing though)
I'm kind of in a struggle here. I'm noticing very slow HDD speeds on my 2TB HDD (SMART doesn't really show anything worrying as far as I know, but I can definitely hear the harddrive when I'm reading / writing from it) and I'm thinking of upgrading. Now I found the Seagate SSHD ST4000DX001 and I'm wondering what your guys' opinion of it is. I'm storing a lot of video footage (GoPro), but also large applications such as the Adobe Creative Cloud applications, meaning I need SOME speed but not for the entire drive. I already have a 120GB SSD (OS) and a 512GB SSD (Games / Disk I save rendered videos to, temporarily), but the OS disk is getting extremely full and I'm planning on doing a reinstall of my PC and replacing the 2TB disk with the disk mentioned above.
Can anyone tell me if buying a Seagate is a no-go, and if so, what I should buy instead?
Buying a seagate is fine, buying an SSHD is a no go.
[QUOTE=Levelog;50613283]Buying a seagate is fine, buying an SSHD is a no go.[/QUOTE]
Is there any 4TB HDD you'd recommend in particular? Or would you say I'm better off with two smaller sized disks? I'm not really familiar with harddisk as I always saw them as "If I have one, I'm fine"-devices, never really cared about brand or performance.
Common consensus is that outside of very specific cases, SSHD's have very underwhelming performance. Your better off just buying a standard HDD. Mostly since what your doing will be large consecutive R/W which HDD's will do fine.

Seagate NAS are about what you'd see speed wise on a ~2011-2012 7200rpm drive and is great for the price.
Aside from weird manufacture defects you're probably going to see very little practical difference between WD, Seagate, and Hitachi

I have two [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178393"]ST4000VN000[/URL] in my NAS in RAID1 and I get gigabit write/read speeds over LAN (something like 150MB/s locally)
All of a sudden my hard drive boot order won't keep. Just disallowed any boot device but the main drive.
And My WOL won't with via internet even with the ports forwarded. Have to Ssh into server to have it wake up my desktop.

Did WOL ever work? Its very difficult to work across subnets and especially NAT since its not IP address based, its broadcast based. You have to find a way to get the router to direct the WOL packet at that interface.

Just got this motherboard. It's brand new. But I'll check that.

It works great on the LAN. But it can't make it through my internet connection to my desktop. However, I have a pi as my server so I can remote SSH through the internet and tell it to broadcast the WOL packet on my LAN.
Also sorry for rating you dumb. On my phone and when I went for the reply button and hit the ratings button on accident.
