Well the party is over for Home use Next Gen Firewall from Untangle, now Arista. Got email today that licenses will not be renewed for the Home version which was $50 a year. Got a lot of use out of it, still will as current license goes till March 2027. Can't think of anything besides ZenArmor...
For fun during quarantine, I built an overpowered NAS (specs below). Time to replace the MB, CPU and RAM for an upgrade, I think.
Replacement needs:
* at least 2x PCIE for SAS expander cards - using same drives etc. from existing for storage NAS duty
* Enough processing power & RAM to run as...
Anyone else tried this out for older, formerly in storage stuff. Just booted up a 10 year old Acer Aspire 5253 laptop with a mighty AMD 1.6 ghz processor with it and it runs. Took about 10 minutes to load the OS. And have a free laptop to give to the youngest for him to mess around with that...

Recently moved my work computer to a wired connection at home. Currently have a Netgear Orbi serving as router. Want to move the Orbi to AP duty only for wifi devices and get a new router that using Vlan will segment everything wired (personal computer, printer, work computer, voip system...
So I built this machine more than 6 years ago: ASUS A8R-32MVP Deluxe, AMD X2 4800, 80 GB Raptor HD, 4x 100 GB WD in Raid 10, Radeon 1900XT, Auzentech Mystique Sound, 2GB Crucial ram, Tagan U22 480W Power
At the time, it was rocking in specs and price. I don't even want to remember what I...
For the last three hours my router, an old Dlink 625 has been recording a syn flood attack. I only noticed about 30 minutes ago after checking the log.
I had a 360 wirelessly connected that I have now turned off. The remaining windows laptop does not show any half open connections when I...
Ok so I have used a USB dac with my laptop (HP DV9200, Vista 32bit home premium) many times without issue, older USB only DAC. Just got a new DAC, both USB and optical with ability to display locked frequency. The laptop has a mini optical out. The computer came with conexant onboard sound...
For a friend. Budget $1600 US. No peripherals needed. Just all in case stuff. This is from an intergrator who will put it together for him (buyxg to be exact). He doesn't live near me anymore. He will be gaming and creating digital image artwork. Tried to say ATI for artwork but he wanted...
I am planning on using one PA120 Radiator for the computer in my sig to cool the CPU and GFX. Is this enough?
Or should I go with Petra's GPU kit and cut up my case on the top for dual fan goodness?
Ok I just built this computer (see below) a few months ago and finally found time to get some games onto it, but have noticed that the GPU temp hits almost 80 C underload after intense gameplay. I bought the case because I want this to be silent so I am going watercooling to lower temp and for...
I am upgrading from an A64 3000 Winnie to an X2 4800. Can I get away with just swapping the processor and NOT reinstalling Windows XP fresh or bite the bullet and go through the hassle. Nothing else will change in the system, just the processor. I know that during windows install certain info...
