Bump for you. No big Lego sets this time? 😁

Thanks! Boy, trying to figure out which has an HDMI 2.0 port is near impossible. Apparently it was optional on many models so can't easily tell. I was leaning back toward laptop to make this easier, but the silence of a mini PC and not having to deal with a power brick has me wanting that...

Thanks! Lot of info I had no idea about. Fortunately, turns out TV does do 4-4-4 in PC Mode with 4K@60Hz. Lucked out there. Just need to make sure device has a 2.0+ HDMI port now.

Thanks guys, will check those out. Silent running ... I hadn't even thought about that, nice.

Want to hook up a computer to the TV for when I need to do some work/email/half-life and am too lazy to get up and go to the computer room. Was thinking a laptop that just leave closed and slid on top of the 4K player but ran across these Mini-PCs (Geekom, etc) and almost pulled the trigger on...

Want to hook up a computer to the TV for Office work, browsing, email, maybe basic gaming (if it could play Witcher 3 that'd be a bonus). Not set on a Mini-PC over a laptop yet (that's a different thread), but leaning Mini right now. I've looked at the high end Intel units, but think something...

I had the same problem years ago, but mine was a desktop. No amount of wiping down with cleaners got rid of it all. It was terrible -- I swear the guy let a tribe of chain-smoking elves live in the thing for a year. Bought an ozone generator and left both in a room for two days (half a day...

Thanks for the HDMI 2.0 tip! Good news on the output to 4K part. Should any basic laptop from last few years be able to output 4k in this situation or will I need something robust? Also just ran across mini computers, might be an option instead, but will ask that in a separate thread.

Getting a laptop (non-gaming) to connect to a 4K TV for mostly Office type work. 1. Want to be able to display in 4K for crisp text and image clarity...do I need a laptop that has a 4K screen or will outputing 4k over HDMI be no problem for laptops with lower resolution screens? (Basically...

An SSD that size would be good enough and RAM works fine, but they are adamant on 17" screen. Thanks, though. Checked the Dell Outlet. Thanks for the tip, unfortunately only gaming laptops available right now with the cheapest 17"er still over $1000.

Prefer 16GB RAM + 1TB HDD + boot SSD (but have spare SSD I can slip in if comes without). Something more recent, but FPS game play is irrelevant. Needs an HDMI port. ... Under $500 possible? ... Any recommendations on decent machine for sale somewhere? Amazon, eBay, Newegg? Don't have...

Thanks SamirD. I didn't think they could be that cheap, but definitely going to look now.

Depending on answers to my questions about trying to live stream concerts, I might be looking for a hardware encoder or maybe a capture device. If you have such video hardware (old project or maybe currently used but looking to sell and upgrade) let me know. Appreciate any recommendations on...

Live Stream...likely to YouTube Remote Site...meaning not in a studio. In this case various theaters and venues to stream local concerts. Camcorder...I use three Canon XA20s, but want to just stream from one. Want to still record all three for later editing. Audio...Sometimes pulled from...

I want to be able to: play all tracks in their own screens/windows (after time alignment of course) easily and quickly shift time forward and back down to frame-by-frame level be able to select track by just clicking on its window to make it the top level have a master screen/window showing...

Most excellent; thanks for all the replies everyone. If I had more time and brain energy available at the moment, I'd go the DD-WRT or Tomato route for fun, but for right now I think I'll just buy that D-Link or the tp TP-Link. Thanks!

I'm used to the direct connection from the LAN or a Modem to the Router -- physically plugging the Cat5 in. What about if the internet connection provided is wireless? How can I connect a router to that? (This is an extended stay complex -- job lasts long enough to want comp+tv+phone...

True of course. Heck, I was frustrated when I couldn't find the case I wanted -without- a side panel, particularly since the tower sits at eye level two feet away so I'll be staring into it almost. But now, for the first time in my life, I was thinking about it. I laid out my new parts and...

Thanks for the links, Black Jacque. The Noctua options do look to be the peak of the low noise-high flow chart, nice. Why such an awful color choice though? Brown? It would be great for a steampunk machine maybe, but with so many people paying extra to interior decorate their case, you'd...

But is the CPU the brain or the OS? :P And if my brain is replaced, do "I" still own my house and pants and car? I guess it depends on what happened to my old brain. My concern with that type of activation is a situation like my last year: motherboard died so was replaced, after six months...
