Anywhere I can read a break down on the 2650 revisions?

With the basement, yes... That and having extra never hurts with home media. I am seeing 2650 48 port ProCurves under $200, and 2610s under $300. I just wanted to make sure there was not something I should look out for in the different revisions.

I have finally ran 4 drops to each room in the house, and now I have to get it all together. I have been looking at some used HP ProCurve 48 ports, and I am seeing A,B, and C revisions of the 2650, and yet I am not finding much info on the differences. I am also looking at a couple of...

If you go through Dell Small Business, you can get them for about $250 shipped.

After going through two regular P6T and two Deluxe boards, I finally have a computer that can use the EIDE DVD drive. I still can't use Express Gate with the IDE cable plugged in, and some issues with USB ports, but at least I can actually use the computer. This is a joke for a $300...

Sorry I did not see this sooner, but I have the Prolimatech on my V2 with 6gb of RAM no problem. Nice cooler.

For what it is worth, I went through four P6T boards in five weeks before getting a "good" one.

If you don't have access to a water supply, stripping it yourself is simply out. I would suggest looking up a radiator repair place locally, and have them dip it in the strip tank. This will not harm the aluminum, and will cost you very little money, while saving you some serious grief.

SAS drives are typically used in server applications. High speed, lower capacity, and expensive. No real use in having a SAS controller on a consumer level board.

Scythe Kama 120mm PWM Fan (DFS122512L-PWM)

I just called last week about my 5 week old P6T, and they offered me advanced RMA, but I was able to swap it locally where I bought it.

Is anyone else running a DVD drive on the IDE channel? I am at a loss trying to get my drive to read DVD media. I have tried every suggestion I could find in two weeks of searching.

Keep in mind, the cooler does not come with a fan. So no matter where you order it, no fan is coming in the box. I just bought two of these coolers last week from Jab-Tech, and you can email them to find out the stock situation. Jab-Tech's customer service rocks, and it is not unusual for them...

One trick I learned a long time ago, was to lay down a strip of masking tape over your cut line. The tape will give you a smoother cut edge, and as an added bonus, you can see your pencil line better on the tape.
