Syrex-13 on Seagate IronWolf Pro 14TB 3.5" Hard Drive $308.27 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Yeah I'd have liked 2, but on the flip side, it's nice that more people get to benefit from the price when they do it this way.

deepfriedchips on Seagate IronWolf Pro 14TB 3.5" Hard Drive $308.27 Delivered @ Amazon AU

I'm not a huge expert (but do have a ~200TB Server, so do have *some* experience). These are geared towards 'NAS' usage, so they should be…

I'm in a very similar situation to you, so thought I'd add my experience (though won't help with the crashing issues) I too am a life-long…

Yes, we looked at that one a few times, but did wonder what the build quality would be like - didn't look quite as sturdy. However. we did…

We've been looking at this trolley for a while, but the price tag was a bit higher than we wanted to pay - sure it is normally $260, which…

Great price, and needed a new messenger bag to accommodate the new 70-200 lens I just bought! Thanks!

Pebblebug on ASUS ROG ZENITH EXTREME Threadripper X399 Motherboard. $378.60 USD Shipped (~ $501 AU) @ Amazon US

Yes, though this does appear to be a common issue with the socket mechanism spec, rather than specifically an ASUS issue. Frustrating…

Hybroid on ASUS ROG ZENITH EXTREME Threadripper X399 Motherboard. $378.60 USD Shipped (~ $501 AU) @ Amazon US

True that a 16-core CPU isn't really for gaming. But though its a 'ROG' board, and has an overload of LED (not for me thanks!), I would…

nubix on ASUS ROG ZENITH EXTREME Threadripper X399 Motherboard. $378.60 USD Shipped (~ $501 AU) @ Amazon US

Any reason to pick one over the other between this and the Galax? I don't stress mine as it is (don't really game much), so don't think…

Great price - was planning on grabbing the 2700x, but may have been swayed to this if I'd been a bit quicker!

extrobe commented on Do You Pick up Calls from "NO CALLER ID"?

superforever on LG 34UM59A-P $411.84, 34UM69G-B $507.84 Ultra Wide 34" Monitor at Mediaform eBay
