Like 1-2 Dansco 7094 sell per month on ebay, and for like $70... are there really no other options?

My new Mobo comes with only 4 SATA and 1 USB 3.0 (19 pin) headers. I have six total SATA devices and two front-panel 2x USB 3.0 panels. I'd like to add a PCIE card to help get these extra slots.

I've found cards that have 2x USB 3.0 headers, with 4x SATA headers, and with external USB/SATA, but I haven't found a card that has 1x USB 3.0 header and 2x SATA internal headers, which seems possible and would exactly fulfill my needs. Anyone have any tips?

I could just get both cards, I have 2 PCIE 1x slots. Or I could just get rid of two of my old HDs, I don't actually need them now that I have M2 slots and NAS. But I figured I would just check and see if anyone knew of a combo card that would

Thanks for any advice!

I built my PC back in 2012. I'm starting to get some issues gaming, but it's held up admirably well.

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Asus Radeon HD 7850 2 GB Video Card
SeaSonic M12II 620 W
4x G.Skill Ripjaws 4 GB

It appears I could just buy a new GPU and it should work since my power supply is 620W and my Mobo has a PCIE x16 slot. It also supports up to 32GB RAM so I could double my memory.

But is that even worth doing? Or should I get a new Mobo and CPU and just start fresh?

Hi, I'm looking for a portable DAC/amp that connects to a tablet via usb-c, and then outputs both aux and bluetooth simultaneously, with individual volume and latency adjustments if needed (for a travel partner who only has bluetooth headphones).

Does it exist? Or is there a better solution? Thanks!

Thanks for your help as I finalize my drinking water plan for the new house!

We currently rent a standalone water cooler that holds the 5-gallon jugs. Instant chilled water is the best thing ever and instant hot has its uses in the cold months also. But with the new house I want to scrap the rental and install a filter system and my own chiller/heater.

The Plan: Install a filter system in the basement (almost directly under the kitchen sink) with lines running to a dedicated tap in the kitchen, the ice maker for the fridge, and possibly future lines to a wetbar/coffeebar or 2nd floor.

Filter Systems: Reverse Osmosis vs UltrafiltrationRO Pro vs UF: Better filtration, "clean taste" some peo
