Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. Greg

Hi, I'm trying to connect to a wifi network that's 600 feet away. I'd like use the 5ghz band (trying for high throughput). Can I use a directional antenna on just one end of this link? What are my best options for this? I'd like to avoid using a point to point bridge due to cost...

Ok, I changed the SLI connector (using the TRI SLI connector vice the dual SLI connector) and now the video works... sort of. When booting I see no post messages at all. After about 20 seconds when windows loads I get the windows splash screen and everything works fine. Any idea why I'm...

I did try using different power supply rails with no change. Both cards work in eithor of the slots (as long as I only install one card). I'll try using a different SLI connector and change the power supply connectors around. Thanks for the ideas guys. More info as I get it. Greg

Yes, I used that exact connector. I don't have a extra connector of that type. I do have the extra connector used for triple SLI. Will that work? If I need that same type of connector do you know if best buy or fry's stock it? Or does it have to be motherboard specific? Greg

Hi, I recently bought a Gigabyte GTX-480 (V-N480D5-15I-B). I liked it so much I thought I'd give SLI a shot so I bought a second card. Both cards are the exact same card. I used the SLI jumper that came with the motherboard. Both of the cards are in a PCIEX16 slot. Card #1 is in slot...

Ok, I'm going to go with a GA-X58A-UD7 (rev. 2.0). I'd like to drop 12 gig of ram on this motherboard. Any suggestions as to which ram to buy? I'd like to buy a matched 12gig set. Was thinking about getting DDR3 1600 but wanted some feedback. Also, pros/cons on using 6 sticks of 2...

The reason I'm ruling out asus is the last 2 computer builds I had 4 out of 5 asus boards DOA. I might be willing to give asus a shot again but "only" from a local vendor. I'm building this computer as a gaming machine and considering using 12 gig of ram with it. If anyone has a specific...

Going to be building a new computer with a i7-980X chip and wanted some feedback. I don't want a ASUS board (had too many past issues with them). Anyone have any suggestions for a good motherboard and/or build? Note: I don't want to spend more than apx 300-350 for a motherboard. Must...

The addonics would work except that I'd need to buy a USB to SATA converter. If I could just find this with the SATA connecter on it. Still looking. :) Greg

This is the closest thing so far I've been able to find. http://www.addonics.com/products/nas/nas25hdu2.asp Still looking since it uses a 10/100 and not a gig interface. Also it uses one of those loud mini fans for cooling. Greg

Yes, except I'm looking for a smaller solution that will fit in my network panel. The panel is only 3.5" deep. Greg

"If you think a SSD will make the NAS faster you are mistaken." No, I know my SSD won't make my network faster. I already have a NAS. I just don't leave it running 24/7. I have a spare SSD laying around and I think having one setup as a network hard drive that I can access remotely via FTP...

Hi, I'm building a network cabinet (home use) and just about finished it and wanted to add a SSD drive to the panel. I'd like this SSD drive to connect directly to my network using a gig ethernet adapter. Does anyone know if there is such a beast available? I'm looking for the smallest...

Well, just finished setting up my raid 5 on my N5200 (non pro). Used 3 WD20EADS drives and ended up with 3.34 TB free. Will see how stable it is over the next couple weeks. Anyone else got this configuration running and stable yet? Greg
