I feel embarrassed asking what seems to be such a rudimentary question, but I can't seem to find what I need/want. I have a Norco 16-bay that has a SAS backplane with 4 SAS connectors (1 for each row of 4 hot-swap bays). I'm currently using two RAID cards, an Adaptec 5805 and the LSI card, that...

You're doing it right. For those rails, the only way (I think) to mount the ears is to have them in front of the post like you have it. By the way, I have the same rack and just installed the same rails like 5 minutes ago. Two things: 1. You can loosen the two nuts on the front piece that...

Google Now Card Offers Deadpool Piracy Advice. Me Know Card Google Not Much. Deadpool Movie Good Google Offer Too Much. Me Keep Track Cannot.

I'm on my way out to find the oldest pair of scissors. Y'all go grab the oldest paper and we'll meet back here.

I have this rack and I like it as well. It was easy to put together and sturdy. I picked up some casters from Home Depot and they work just fine.

A lot of the negative reviews are probably created just to be contrarian; a lot of the positive reviews are probably from people who can't possibly dislike anything Star Wars. If I was in the 8-25 year old range, I probably would have liked it more than I did. I did like the movie, but I was...

I didn't even know he was famous for playing Minecraft, but when I looked at the picture of the house I thought to myself "that looks like something my nephew could build in Minecraft." Fits perfect.

1. I would consider it. 2. Yes if it's not considerably more expensive then buying the two separately, and I'd like for it to be re-usable on future cards. Thanks for doing this.

Click on the GHash.io link on the top of the cex.io page, then click on the LTC link. That should explain enough to get you started.

I just wanted to quickly chime-in and make sure you know that that case is not really "small." I have two of them, and they are great cases, but to look at them in person you might mistake them for mid-towers. Again, great cases, but just make sure they are the size you want. They are bigger...

My father received a similar call about a month ago. Luckily, I happened to be there and he handed me the phone. The guy on the phone identified himself as "Jack Cooper" with a thick accent and said he worked for "Windows." I asked "Where are you calling from 'Jack'?" and he replied "Denver. I...

IPMI allows you to connect to the machine remotely while it's powered off (plugged in) or before the operating system loads so you can get into the BIOS, SCSI settings, etc. It's like you are at the console as opposed to something like Remote Desktop or VNC which requires an operating system to...

I've always wanted to try a Seasonic as I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Think about a slight upgrade to an E3 1230 V2 as it supports hyper-threading where the 1220 does not. This will give you more "CPUs" to play with.

I've seen these sold, but it looks like someone just bent the wires and zip-tied them. I wouldn't buy them, but you can Google "pci-e power 90 degree" to see what I mean.
