    I picked up one of these hornet cases back in 2004 for my brother at the time. He still has it, granted it has an athlon xp I believe in it and he won't ship it to me to upgrade to send back, worried that i'll keep it :-p

    SAS HBA and expander low profile

    ` No reason, just want it. The backplanes are sas2 as far as I can tell yes. I'll assume that as long as I have enough ports available on the HBA that I wouldn't need the expander?

    I recently picked up several 12TB 12GB's SAS (model #st12000nm0027) drives and working through being able to use them on my system.

    Why video card prices are still so high?

    So damn tempted to do this with the titan Xp's or even v's. Seems like matter of principle at that point. Went to Microcenter today with my wife and she was blown away that they hand zero inventory on hand of GPU's. Even have a sign i'll have to upload, stating that 3 or more of any video card...

    VMware sockets vs cores and Co-Stop

    If you're talking about the actual functionality of giving more cpu's via cores or cpu's to your VM's from the VM edit tab, I believe it's been stated by VMware that it does not matter, it's all cores at that point. The VMware scheduler will take what it can get when it can get it. The use of...

    XenApp/Desktop Question

    The documentation doesn't state the specifics to the creation of the default VM to use for the Master Image. It says something to the effect of create the Windows 7 virtual machine then create the master image. I have figured it out though, (I think I already knew it, just wasn't thinking...

    Help building an ESXi server

    The AMD solution with more cores will allow you more virtual space, while the lesser core Intel will be limited in that regard, obviously.

    Help building an ESXi server

    What are you planning on virtualizing? Obviously the AMD offerings, with 8+ cores allow for more VM's to be run. That would be the biggest question in my mind
