This is the case:

You can see how it shattered down below.
I used this case to put an old system in it. The glass side panel strangely broke when I was installing it. You can see how it shattered down below. I bought a replacement panel...
I have an NVR with 9 cameras attached to it. The NVR has its own NIC and DHCP enabled and is providing ip addresses to the cameras but using different subnet. This setup was provided to me by a local shop. I have other cameras connected directly to my router via wifi and I can access them...
Customized watercooling no longer offer a big advantage over best air coolers and AIO's, but if you want silence and looks, and want to overclock a new threadripper(sTR5 socket), then the story will change and it will become applicable again. My last two custom loops were from XSPC. I buy ready...
Hi to all,
This has to do with a re-build I just did and I want to know if my PSU is still good or if what is a sign of failure. This is the PSU:

Hi,
I currently have an OfficeJet Pro 7740 connected as a network printer for my home and all devices can print from it (all is good) except that after sometime the printer icon in my device manager will be grayed out and the printer will be offline in my main machine. The solution is to remove...
This has to do with my older build. This link:

Hi,
When I build my PC's I build them to last. My current rig is the one you see in my signature. It is about 6 years old. I have an older build that is 11 years old and still kicking it. Yes my current build is relatively old by current standards but still: It should perform well in most...
Hi to all,
Sorry for this stupid question but I'm curious. I just bought a 4G LTE router (Asus 4G-ax56) for my secondary home in my hometown which I don't visit very often. I don't want to request a dedicated internet line for this house because I'm not there all the time and thought I'll just...
Hi,
Okay so I know some wifi because I have been using since it started but I'm not the expert who knows everything. I'll try to explain the scenario to the best of my ability. It has to do with hunting trips and camping in deserts. Imagine being in a remote location where there is no internet...
Hi,
It is getting annoying. The laptop is stuck at the logo screen and won't go any further after windows updates did its thing. I tried the automated recovery tools but they didn't work although they reported errors were corrected. I tried system file checker and it fixed errors but I still...

This router served me well but I think it is biting the dust. It requires me to reboot it from time to time so that it works properly. My internet speed is 500 Mbps and it is now capped at 100 Mbps because of it. I have no idea what could be...
Hi, how is it going?
This may seem very basic to some people but bear with me. In the past, I used to set up port forwarding and DDNS to remotely access my security IP cameras installed at home. It has been sometime since I have done it last time. Now, I'm doing a new setup for a new home...
Hi to all,
I want to check if I get this correctly. I have the mobo you see in my sig. This one:
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/MAXIMUS_IX_FORMULA/E12314_MAXIMUS_IX_FORMULA_UM_V3_WEB.pdf
It has two M.2 sockets. They are PCIe 3.0 x4 as per the manual which translates to 4 times...
My friend gave me his ASUS AC3200 router to configure it for him because he recently moved to another area. He has some version of tomato firmware loaded into it. I took it home to play with it but I couldn't get it to connect to the internet. I asked him if anything changed or if he dropped it...
I just built a machine for my friend, and unfortunately to my surprise it didn't successfully boot. It is based on the i7-11700K CPU. And this is the mobo:

This is one good tip. If you have an apple device and you want to back it up using itunes, you will have to use space on your c: drive (OS drive) because it is the default location and itunes doesn't allow you to change it. There is no option in itunes for this. Now, the OS drive is usually the...
Okay so this is an older build of mine. About 10 years old I think. It is this build actually:

I previously discussed this setup before here:

What monitor would you recommend for him? He said he is willing to spend up to 1000 USD on the monitor, and then decide on the video card as it...
I suspected a virus in my system because I wasn't able to view hidden files in some folders even after I select view hidden files in folder options in windows explorer and ended up running the command in the title for my c: drive. It didn't execute fully because access to some files was denied...
Okay, this build will be for me, but I'm not going to build it now. Maybe after the video cards situation improves. It will be for general purpose (office & university work), gaming, heavy virtualization, and also bragging rights! I will run a virtual domain network with 10 machines with at...

Hi guys, I just want you to critique this build for me. It is for one of my friends. He wants a mid range pc that will last him long years. He wants it for his kids who are all less than 12 years old. It is a general purpose pc but he also wants them to...
My son has an Asus ROG phone 2. I'm suspecting some of his activities. I was able to take the phone from him one time and install a parenting program but he was able to uninstall it. The problem was that it wasn't stealthy. Now, he is more cautious and will never allow me to get his phone which...
I suddenly lost the ability to right click my taskbar buttons. I can't pin or unpin icons now. I'm on windows 10 latest update. I tried all tricks I found in google to no avail. Anybody seen this??? I don't know what to do and it is annoying as hell.
Hi to all,
I have a very simple home network. I have a netgear nighthawk R7000 router connected to a small 1Gbps switch with 8 ports. I have about 10 wired devices, and about 20 wireless devices connected to different AP's. Between wired devices, the 1Gbps link is saturated. At first, I wanted...
Hi,
I just want to test and benchmark my network shares (Mapped network drives) the same way HD tune does for local drives. HD tune doesn't see network drives so is there a software than can help me do this? I only found iozone but I think that needs little work? Does it still run on windows...
Hi to all,
Don't know if this is a good place to ask for this but let's just do it:
I want you please to direct me to the appropriate channel. I'm doing a research paper on migration to the cloud or switch to the cloud for businesses and its security challenges, and I would like to have some...
Hi to all,
I'm just getting ready to build my new rig which will be based on the 3970x threadripper or one of the new zen 3 threadrippers. Are there ready made 480mm watercooling kits which you can simply buy instead of looking for each part individually? Or do you recommend against ready kits...
Hi to all,
There is a high chance that I give a presentation on cloud computing and how it could benefit large entities such as the army, and I've got some questions. I see how cloud computing can benefit individuals and small companies. For example, it is better for me to pay for the usage of...
Hi to all,
I'm running Vmware pro and VirtualBox in my main machine at home. I'm building a small pentesting lab plus some other cool stuff you do with VMs and I came across few questions. Supposedly if you run a VM inside Vmware or VirtualBox with the setting of the network adapter set to...
Hi guys....
This is just to give me a general idea of how long ssd's last. I know there are many variables but let's just do it. It will of course depend on your usage. I have had many mechanical drives fail, but some of them lasted close to 11 years! I want to know if ssd's can last that long...
Hi to all.
This is not to be confused with the regular skype. I'm specifically talking about skype for business that used to be called microsoft lync. I'm just wandering if it can be used for video chats between users in a server, client type of network (Domain network). I have a virtual domain...
As I was browsing my folders today, I saw one strange file setting somewhere in one of the folders and when I opened it, it was none other than a text file showing instructions on how to decrypt my files. I was hit by grandcrab 5.1. Fortunately, my NAS newwork drive which holds all valuable...
Hi to all, how is it going?
This might be simple to some, but I'm puzzled and I want it to be sorted out. It is not causing me a problem, but I want to be optimum. It is regarding my wifi inside my little house. I have an internet connection speed of 500 Mbps via fiber. All my wired boxes...
Sometimes you have files that are not very sensitive and you don't want to encrypt them and go into the trouble of decrypting them every time you need to view or work with them. So, will it be more secure for the files to be put inside a virtual machine and work with it only from inside the...
