While my walls are semi-open, I am going to network my house. Thinking 4 ports in the living room and 2 in the other rooms for a total of 12. What kind of Cat6 can I get away with running in the walls? UTP Solid CMR? Hope so. Monoprice has 1000FT for $99 LINK

Do it.

I have 1 cable going to the living room which hits a 4port switch. Same in set up in BR. At one time I had plans to move my router in the living room but not anymore. I'm renting my house for the next year and once I move back to LA in 12-18months, we will start building another house. So the plan is to never live in that home again.

Kinda of depressing.

We speaking the 1440s or 2160s?

I'm talking the 1440s I'm buying off ya. I don't have much room for stands on my desk, so I want the mounted by an arm if possible.

Yeah, I got it from Amazon. I bought the first one, the international version. It's the one that's rootable. But it also does not have a warranty unless you buy one with sqtrade. Amazon would refund within 30 days I'm sure, though.

Did I forget anything?








Then the stuff that was cheaper at monoprice even with their high shipping costs:

Doing 2 ports per room, except 4 in the living room. For the rooms, I'm counting on having hard wired fire TVs or rokus or whatever, plus desktops when they are older. Fewer than 16 ports but needed more than 10.

Is there an issue using an unmanaged switch for this?

No I would use a dumb switch. No reason to limit certain connections to certain ports.

No. IPC is lower for single core.

XBONE.

Just hooked up my steam link. Ive only played the golf club, but I shot one of my best rounds with it

The controller isn't as sturdy feeling as the Xbone controllers, but I like it so far. Civ V will be an interesting test for it

Can I use my new XBONE S controller on my PC? Or need an adapter? Haven't looked into that, but it's so so much better than the 360 controller it's not even funny.
