Makes no sense when you have an option and the pi will earn for itself in a year. The PC would need some down time so that the components will be in top shape. The chip has a fixed MTBF and leaving it running even at idle temps would always degrade the components. Maybe if its someone who...

Sorry, I am not here to tell you about the institutes but something which would help you in the future for admin roles. If you have some kind of a budget start of with building a white box server (not necessarily server components). Look for deals or used components to build your servers so that...

In lay man terms it works 10 times faster than your traditional hard disk but at the same time really expensive. If you accommodate in your budget suggest going with a 128gb at least (if you are on a budget look for the best price and stop listening to ppl who say go for samsung drives alone...

Do you realise that the smps has losses unless its gold rated (even then the losses would be reasonably high for a gaming smps)? Please check on power usage of an i5 haswell at idle (typically around 30w) and you would know you don't have to just pay so much bills when a raspberry pi or banana...

No skylake's are 6th gen procs.. z97 supports broadwell (5th gen) and haswell (4th gen). Intel's trick not to support MBs supporting broadwell as they are well aware of the face that the jump will happen from haswell to skylake and broad well will be left out (at least that's what I feel) Edit-...

You missed a great opportunity. Z97 MB and water cooler were available for a very cheap price in the recent amazon summer sale. Anyway if I were you I would take JMP's advice.. The prices would be most probably comparable. By the way try and buy z97 series motherboard and stop looking for other...

Please beware a gaming rig should never be your download rig. The rig needs to cool off sometimes and with high power draw it's bad for environment and pockets to be run as a download machine.

I consider no one a noob, just personal experiences make them believe what they have read. With just one scenario it is tough to generalize isn't it? That particular card might be a dud? If you have lost a few of them in short span then it would be right to generalize. I have implemented a...

The only reason I see for his card failure. I have used sd card from various companies on my Bpi, Rpi and none of them have failed so far and are chugging well from past 2.5 years. These solid state devices have limited number of write cycles and torrenting causes the failure.

By the way if you are intrstd, I am currently trying to build a home server farm with 2 shuttle boxes (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MWOTSZA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I am also in a fix regarding choosing the processor i5 or i7, so have put the build on hold. Just...

It depends on how many VMs he wants to run. I assume he probably wants to run at least 2-3 of them. That's the reason he wants an i7 (buy only 4790k for Vt-d support 4770k doesn't support vt-d, that if you plan on ESXi) so he can get 8 threads as well as cover his gaming needs. I used to run 7...

For that he has to get another build. VMware professionals need dedicated builds with server class components for home learning. If he is using Virtual machines for other purposes then dedicated server makes no sense :)

Buy a second hand server on olx if your trying to do VM ware and stuff. You can get a decent one for 15k.

Among the routers I have seen and experienced personally this is good. Was bought for a friend and it works great. Has a decent processor and ram...
