    3x 24" Monitors or 2x 24" and 1x 27"?

    Very cool. Thanks. So assuming i can get $150ish for my current card, I'm really only paying around $100 more for the 680 over buying another 560.

    3x 24" Monitors or 2x 24" and 1x 27"?

    Hi Hagrid, Thanks for the reply. Regarding the 680 -- there's 2x DVIs, 1x HDMI, and 1x DP, will it support 4 concurrent screens or is there a total amount it will support and it will just disable the other types?

    3x 24" Monitors or 2x 24" and 1x 27"?

    Hi there, thanks for the response. I have an i7-2600k with 8 gb memory and a GeForce 560TI 2gb. Also have a RevoDrive 3 PCIe storage. Plan would be to add a second 560TI 2gb for the additional monitor. Specs should be sufficient, but tell me if not. :) Primarily playing games like Skyrim...

    Building an eSATA DAS

    Wow -- thanks guys for the excellent responses. I've read of people using 3TB+ boxes with some of the DirecTV DVRs... Unfortunately it's real hit or miss on what will work with it and what will not. I may end up just buying a standalone 2+TB hard drive and being done with it. Worst case...

    3x 24" Monitors or 2x 24" and 1x 27"?

    Hello, I currently have 2x 24" monitors and don't like the way games handle the setup (generally, game plays on one and desktop on the other). I've read the best way to go about gaming on multiple monitors is to setup 3 monitors. My question is in regards to what size to place in the center...

    Building an eSATA DAS

    Aesma-- So what I would be looking for is a RAID controller with an eSATA interface. I don't think I've ever seen a RAID controller that operates as a host... every one I've seen assumes the ports will be connected to disks, not systems. Could be wrong though.

    Building an eSATA DAS

    Right, I get the 1 HD to 1 eSATA port. What you're telling me now is the ability to pass 1 logical disk through that 1 eSATA port is proprietary technology owned by the various DAS/NAS manufacturers and there is no open source / alternative solution?

    Building an eSATA DAS

    Hello, I'm currently trying to figure out a way to increase the available storage for my DirecTV HR24 DVR without opening up the case. From what I've been able to ascertain, the only "supported" (meaning non-warranty voiding) method would be to use some type of eSATA device. So that has me...

    3x Infiniband Hosts without Switch

    Hello, Setting up a Hyper-V 3.0 / SMBDirect environment in my home lab. Bought 3x MHQH 19B-XTR Infiniband cards. Each of these cards has 2x IB ports. Do I need a IB switch to link all 3 hosts together or can I use both of the ports on the "SAN" host connect directly to the Hyper-V hosts and...

    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    In regards to virtualizing your router, I would consider not doing that. I've done it for awhile at my house and it works great, but sucks when your host has issues and you need to troubleshoot. When I needed to rebuild / reboot / change anything on my host the rest of the network lost internet...

    Which raid type to use?

    I'd do a RAID10 if you don't mind losing 1/2 the space.

    Hyper-V with OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/SAN

    No problems. Was responding to the OP who asked if anyone else was doing it and listed how my current setup was built... the rest of my posts were in response to brutalizer's questions about my config.

    Hyper-V with OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/SAN

    I think we're missing each other here as I don't think you understand what I'm doing with this box. I have an Areca 1880. It has two RAID arrays on it; one for media storage and the other for VMs. The one for media storage is handed directly to one of the other ESXi VMs running Server 2008R2...
