These two videos show off some of the gear I use and why I use it.

Not sure what you need it for but newegg.com has several rackmount cases (look in server cases). I used to have a rackmount computer case but not anymore. Having said that I still love rackmount gear as you can tell from the video link below.

Trust me, a dead CMOS battery can affect the boot sequence options although every motherboard will be different. If you read the link it was the CMOS battery for that guy. I have an old Pentium II/III system from 1999 and replaced the CMOS battery twice. Having said that the dip switches and...

Check out the following link. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/33605/ As the CMOS battery starts to die things like CD-ROMs, Floppy Drives and finally the hard drive will fail. In Windows and Linux your CD-ROM will not show up in the OS as the CMOS battery starts to die because the...

That is what I find to be so strange about Intel. You have to wait for two years for the Enthusiast or Extreme series CPUs and motherboards to catch up with the consumer based CPUs and motherboards. I just find it odd but perhaps AMD will make Intel do away with the dual LGA platform.

I hear ya but keep in mind with the Core 2 Quad they had the X38 chipset that was kind of for high-end motherboards and they also had the G 31 chipset for motherboards under $100.00 in fact some were less than $50.00. They didn't have two CPU platforms. That is my only point. Everyone would have...

It is not just the chipset. There are two desktop platforms from Intel. I don't see the need for the LGA 2011 and the LGA 1151. I can see the needs for LGA 2011 and two or three chipsets but not eight or nine. Intel never did that before. I hope AMD doesn't do the same thing.

I think the AMD Zen series will finally make 8 core and 16 core CPUs mainstream. After Intel released the Core 2 Quad in 2006 I and many others thought by 2012 we would have 16 core CPUs for $600.00 but without competition the prices don't drop.

That is my point dude. Intel could do what they wanted because of lack of competition from AMD. That is why Intel has so many bat shit crazy chipsets. With the new Zen series I think Intel will have to follow suit. I don't think it is wise to have the H series, the B series, the Z series the X...

As I stated earlier. Intel just recently (about 8 years ago) started offering a consumer and enthusiast platform for desktops. Intel will make more money but it does not benefit the customer. They used to have the same LGA platform with high-end and low-end chipsets available. There was no need...

Had you bother to watch the video they could simply make an inexpensive chipset and a highend chipset for the LGA 2011 and eliminate the LGA 1151. Having two different platforms came about less than 10 years ago. There is no need for it.

With Intel the consumer MOBOs got Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3 before the enthusiast MOBOs. Plus with Intel you have 9 different chipset. That is f'ed up. I think the MOBO options might help decide if I go Intel or AMD in 2017. I am sure by December 2018 eight core CPUs will be the norm...

The enthusiast CPUs don't necessarily perform better than the consumer CPUs. In fact they can perform worse. The MOBOs are more expensive and the consumer platform received Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3 before the enthusiast MOBOs. Intel is doing it backwards in my opinion. I say get rid of...

It wont if the CMOS battery has not been replaced since 1997. I bet it is the CMOS battery.

Intel has way to many chipsets and only the expensive ones will have Thunderbolt 3 and Optane. Intel needs to do away with having 8 different chipsets for the consumer MOBOs. Also I don't really trust Intel's enthusiast edition CPUs.

I think I will chose AMD or Intel based on the motherboard as opposed to the CPU. Anyone else feel that way?

If it is USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Windows 7 will need drivers installed. Windows 10 will not. I have hot swap drive bays and run Windows 7 and 10 on the same B 85 chipset.

Has the CMOS battery been changed since 1997? If not that is probably the reason you are having problems.

There is no such thing as a Windows NT computer. Having said that change the IDE Cable and take out the Hard Drive but connect the CD-ROM. See if the CD-ROM shows up in the bios. Even if the computer was from 1991 it will be able to boot from the CD-ROM. Having said that are the CD-ROM and Hard...

He referenced the BIOS not being able to boot from the CD-ROM. My response is for the available boot options not the CD-ROM it's self. If the CD-ROM did not work it was a glitch in manufacturing. Some people also are not aware the with IDE devices you have to set them to slave or master.
