    Low Profile (Laptop-Like) Gaming Keyboard

    Tesoro is supposed to have some new low profile keyboards out - chiclet style from what I've read. I've been using the Apple keyboards on my PC for years now and I can't stand the mile long key throw of mechanical. It's like going back to typing on a 1980's mainframe.

    6800k and esxi

    Simple question - will the 6800k work with Esxi for a home lab? I thought the K series weren't supposed to be used for VM's for some reason or another. Maybe that's changed? I checked vmware CPU compatibility but they don't have the 6800k listed as a valid option.

    Do I need a new pump?

    Sounds good. I wasn't sure if adding 1 more rad would make it choke.

    Do I need a new pump?

    Been running an MCP355 for the past few years with a 1x360 rad, CPU and GPU blocks. I'm planning on doing another build that will have 2x240 rads, CPU and GPU blocks. Would the 355 be enough or should I look into something else like the 35X or 655. I'd like mount my res on top of the pump...

    Help with data storage server build

    Update: finally getting around to this project. Given the amount of time between my OP I decided to sniff around and get an updated list of gear. Primary use is data storage and running VM's. Take a look, pick it apart, give suggestions, etc. Case - Antec P280 CPU - i7-4770K...

    Help with data storage server build

    I agree w/ sawk - I'm not a huge fan of those high point cards as I've also had some issues with them in the past. Our data is important enough that I'm willing to spend money on a solution that'll be reliable. I've been pricing out a couple options with an LSI card using my existing mboard...

    Help with data storage server build

    Thanks for the fast responses guys. I forgot to mention that I already have a plan for doing backups to another system for the important data. I'll take a look at some of the options provided. My biggest problem so far was finding a good raid card so that's why I turned to the forums for...

    Help with data storage server build

    Looking for some help building a data storage server at home. I have about 1.5TB of data and I'm looking to double/triple that. Data redundancy is very important...my wife has a billion goddamn photos and she'd probably go postal if anything happened to them. Anyway! I have a server now...

    DIY NAS vs QNAP vs Synology

    I don't know much about video encoding.... Why would QNAP or Synology have to transcode to 1080p to stream to a device? Wouldn't the movie file already be transcoded?

    HP ZR24w

    I've had one of these for the past 6 months and noticed some discoloration on the right side of the panel about a month ago. It almost looks something like a waterstain. It's very noticable on a grey or blue background and when I started looking into it, I saw more of the shaded lines...

    Need monitor recommendations

    Man I completely forgot about Amazon. Just called and it looks like they ship the product from another company. I called them and they accept full refunds within 15 days minus 5% restocking. Definitely going to pick the NEC up and give it a whirl. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
