I like the freestanding card reader.  I just unplug it if moving the PC to a LAN (rare) and plug it back in when I need to dump footage from my dashcam (rare).

Heres the a pic of my rig. Dropped my phone last week and are using an oldie so scuse the photos. First time I had a proper go at cable management but def makes in a pain in the arse to work on. Checkout the flex in the video card, all normal for this card so I read and all done by gravity even though it looks like the coolant lines are pushing it

straighten it with a couple of cable ties, that's what I did to Mrs Bloodycrashboys one

Some cases even have a plastic stay/holder to alleviate this problem.

Its not good for a PCB to be bent 

 

BTW, nice mother board

Bought a new WiFi router tonight from Officeworks, had a couple of beers after I got home and my brain has fizzled - can't set the MoFo up for crap :S

 

Think I'll wait til the weekend and take the whole network back to basics and build it again

 

(need to plan it out properly - have got the modem/wifi/router, another wifi/router, couple of switches and a hub and feeding a Win server box running a couple of VM's and the various PC's and devices all setup with the "click things til they work" mindset)

...do you mean wifi/adsl modem router combo? or wireless access point? You want a wap if your using switches and chit

waps not a modem, modem plugs into switch, wap plugs into switch...

[masda74]

Wap, fap, wlan, lan and san, ohh dont forget the nas too.

Fark me Rab, get your sh*t together and make sure the fiber from the switch to the fap is less than 1m and the coaxial from the wap back to the router is shorter to reduce the ohmms.

This should eventually enable you to connect the nbn at one stage once you get smart wiring in  the house. Whats so smart about it, I dont know.

 

Normally the rooouter is  connected to the switch. The WAP is also connected to the switch.

The switch should be located in a central lo ation. It is also preferable to have a si gle 16/24 port switch than having 3 or 4 of the  8 port switches daisey chained from one to another.

It is even more fun to have a 24 port managed switch with POE for your IP security cameras.

 

Yeah we can plan it better on friday night over acouple of  beers/vodka.
