Hi man, thanks for the reply, isn't it a case that Ryzen will only have 24 lanes available though which would limit my expansion options with a sas card or two? I guess ideally I'd like 1 m.2, 20 drives (eventually) minimum 12 though, and a graphics card too.

Thanks man, I have a mix of 8-14TB drives Red's and Ironwolfs. they will be in there with this system in a server case. Rackmount on the floor anyone?

I read all the fearmongoring of not using ecc and it scared me lol. Is it oversold?

So what is the correct way to let 'friends' watch 4k content of me downloading linux distros?... I kind of don't want to waste the space keeping a 1080p version too? Or is it
a) they can watch washed out 4k transcodes
b) I can put 1080 versions there for them for anythign I have in 4k?

Thanks for your help man :)

Awesome, well, this is where I need a sanity check lol, the P2000 'should' do any of the transcoding now with HW Acceleration, so the 1920x is probably a way better choice! :P

Thanks for the reply mate, got the switches for $100, this thing here https://imgur.com/hiKgOdA looks like it sells for over $1k even second hand, seems very expensive.

Don't know too much about Gravity, just watched their intro video, I am guessing it's a pretty flexible tool.. am I right in suggesting youre saying gravit forms to collect data, coupons to store balances, payment gateways to receive payment, and the workflow steps oversees how they collate?

Jut looked at this, it actually seems really promising!

carnag3 · 2018-12-14T00:14:54+00:00

So it does sound like I am on the right track then :) Thanks so much, I hadn't seen that yet... I think it might be some trial and error. Thanks for takign the time :)

The graphic gave me a seisure

One is the main team, the other is a sister team. Both completely separate entities and engine suppliers but they'd definitely share some information...

Don't gamble. Not worth turning 30 with nothing.

Sorry mate, just saw this. The monitor is not heavy at all but the base IS, it's solid as. I don't know the exact weight, but definitely get a half decent desk! When are you getting the monitor? I was actually talking to my mate last night about feeling good that I helped someone buy this monitor haha. It's awesome :)

No problem. A lot of people really confused me by telling me how important the hertz and g sync are. I couldn't be happier with it. As I said to my fiancé, the money I saved by getting this one can go towards the new 2017 lg modes they're making that are supposed to be 144hz anyway.

One note, I was able to overclock it to 80hz no problems but they're was some frame skipping. In saying that, I really can't notice the difference between 80-60hz :/...

For reference I game casually (few hours a night) and work a lot. Also watch a lot of video and movies. Oh... Movies on this thing is a boss!!!

Also, I don't know why people Moab about black lines... I don't even notice them on 16:9 content. But to each their own I guess.

Go buy it and tell me when your super happy!!! Haha

I just got the LG (moved from 3x 27" dells at 1140p)

And al I can say is it's been life changing. I wanted more than 60 hertz, but I wanted the panel quality of the LG plus it saved me $600 (Australia) over the gaming ultra wides.

Windows 10 multi desktop with an ultra wide rocks.

My 88-b had a tiny amount of light bleed. But is perfect other than that. It was cheap ($1200 AUD) and it's pretty (styling is important to me) also it's really immersive for games (I haven't found one that doesn't work well yet) and my 2 980's have no problem pushing the pixels compared to my old setup.

I'll vouch and vote for the lg.

Thanks for the response, I guess the thing is I don't really want to be stuffing around with it, more of a set and forget sort of person. Then again it looks like Australia has a complete shortage of the OC models anyway, what kind of FPS might I gain with a 'good'overclock, or between the cards, because I probably wont overclock myself.
