Re: 2012 Computer Notes (advice welcome!)
How much HD space are you running with these days anyway? How much content do you have archived? Too lazy to check, a lot, but I haven't acquired much new content recently. The real pain is finding stuff since I have volumes all over the place (NAS, main PC, a ton of external hard drives with a har...

Re: 2012 Computer Notes (advice welcome!)
Get a laptop, and put all you terabytes in another box! Thread solved! I actually got a laptop about 2 years ago; it's a crazy slickdeals core i3 HP for $350 instead of the standard $500. I mostly use it as an HTPC which can play most things, but stutters on high-end 1080p encodes. Oh yeah, it's lo...

Re: 2012 Computer Notes (advice welcome!)
Power Supply Get! I also updated the original posts format to ease reading. Regarding motherboard, I'm still debating between ASUS and Gigabyte. ASUS is rock solid, but I'm not sure about paying for crap I'm not going to use (e.g. Wifi antenna and bluetooth). Ah, nostalgia... I've used many ASUS boa...

Re: 2012 Computer Notes (advice welcome!)
I was waiting on a sale, so I've been sticking with my 4-drive HP MediaSmart with a 5th drive via eSATA.
Btw, case and UPS came today; the case is HUGE.
Also, no comment on the video card? (seems non-TOP is the way to go after reading some more)

Re: 2012 Computer Notes (advice welcome!)
CPU: Due to using an $80+ CPU HSF with quiet fans, noise isn't the issue. Best performance per price is pretty much the only metric here. From what I can tell, all the stock CPU HSF units would be too loud regardless of model (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Mobo: Don't plan on encoding at a...

Re: Diablo 3 Beta
Regarding clicking a ton, I'm definitely do it of habit, but one can just hold down the mouse button, especially when holding ground since one can change targets then by simply pointing.
