Found a spare 6tb drive and decided to get my arse into gear. Got a 500gb SSD (850 Pro) I'm tossing up as using as the main drive - currently 250gb (830 Pro) Will move all my media/movies across to it over the weekend, steam library, other games etc This machine to feed the racing setup and VR games, Plex server, GeForce Now and Steam Streaming to feed the rest of the house from it (waiting on current gen 4k HDR OLED TV's to go on sale - I think the tech is there now to be worth splurging on when prices come down - nothing "new" on the horizon etc) Wish I gave a fark about home automation etc - just not interested in telling my phone to dim the lights, change their colour or turn on the aircon etc. Reckon it'd be fun to setup, but am happy flipping a switch lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PM me when needed) 10 isn't bad on the front end (and a lot better on the back end) but if it's not broke, don't fix it. Got til next week for free Win 10 - can roll back and still keep it if you want to (last/final windows?? lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
