    Using Synology as a VPN server questions

    When I connect to the Synology via my Mac I cannot reach the local LAN without editing the routing table on the client Mac... For those of you that connect to the NAS VPN can you then access all nodes on that remote LAN? What could I be doing wrong? BTW: I'm using L2P/iPSEC because it just...

    Is the 5231 still TopDog?

    Yes, and if only there was a place where the Dahua lineup was identified that’s not 2-3 years old and where I don’t have to read 1000 pages and hire a consultant to answer, “what’s new”. From what I can tell from two hours of reading the 5231 is still superior at night that it has no equal. My...

    Is the 5231 still TopDog?

    Just more than a year ago I bought a couple of updated 5231 models where everyone seem to rave obout the low light capability and that 1080p was the way to go for these turrets. So, has the lineup changed in the last 9 months or so? Does the 2mp 5231 have some competition from a 4K camera yet...

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    Although I'm typically looking for something newer.... is something like this G1 too old? I understand old can equate to inefficiency for the power at hand. It has PS/2 ports I think.... will a standard Mac USB keyboard work with this box by default? HP EliteDesk 800 G1 i5-4590S @ 3.0 GHz 4...

    Is it still true that you really DO NOT want a discrete video card in your BI PC?

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    Thanks for the pics, it looks like one exposed drive and one under the optical bay... good to know you have this ability on older than G3 HPs.

    Two 3.5” drives and an SSD too? What’s needed to install these three drives? Thanks. R

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    So, to add two 3.5 drives what exactly do you need for the install? Just a sata cable for each drive and screws? I was thinking that the cables would already in place. Thanks, Robert

    Can anyone confirm if you can install a second 3.5" media drive in the G3 without any fuss on the SFF form factor? Thanks, Robert

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    Wow, I'd like to find something sweet like that.... are you going to purchase that one? I'll take a look at my local FB market--good idea. I have a craigslist alert setup but I never see ANY EliteDesk computers for sale--ever, Thanks, Robert

    Adding 2nd 3.5” HD to SSF EliteDesk?

    Can I have two 3.5” HDDs in the SSF EliteDesk? Assuming G2/G3 or newer, can I have the ssd and 2 3.5” drives installed? Would it require extra wiring or brackets? If so are those parts available? Thanks, Robert

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    Thanks.... BTW: I thought that the i7 generally had more computational power and hyper-threading and cache size than the i5 in the same processor generation family. Coming from the Mac world many of the previous i5 systems seem to be dual core and the only way to get quad core was to have an i7...

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    @fenderman I happened to notice that you were suggesting to CaliGirl to get an i7 if she was going to be regularly remoting in via Mac and some mention of more RAM up to 16gig. I'm assuming that the i5 suggestion is because it works well for most of us with just 8GB of memory and that it's more...

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    I assume that you would no longer purchase the older i5-4590 (in a G1) and would shoot for the i5-6500 for about $85 more and that would be the sweet spot. Also, when you buy these older computers I'm assuming that you almost always have to add your own SSD and HDD media drive. Do you ever...

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    @fenderman you mentioned before that some of the older SFF EliteDesk units did not have two open 3.5" bays it looks like the G2 has two-bays on the SFF. Perhaps the G1 has only one? Do you still prefer the tower size over the SFF? HP EliteDesk 800 G2 and HP EliteOne 800 G2 Business Desktop...

    What EliteDesk for BI?

    Right I assume you are referring to the: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 - SFF - Core i5 6500 3.2 GHz (2015 vintage)? I was looking at the G3 initially.

    DisplayPort vs HDMI....

    Many of the recommended business class PCs suggested for BI have DisplayPort video output and no hdmi port. I’m told that this can be adapted and I see that passive cables are available as well (DisplayPort to hdmi). If you’re buying a new PC the third port can be configured as hdmi (instead of...
