I've just put together a new computer with the following specs: Case: Corsair Carbide Series 330R CPU: Core i7 4770 Mobo: AsRock Z87 Pro3 PSU: Corsair RM450 GPU: EVGA GeForce GT 630 2GB RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 32GB kit There's also one hard drive a Wifi card and some other minor...

Are there any similar 27" screens out there in the same price category and with comparable resolution? I'm looking for large screens for programming, so they don't need to have perfect color reproduction etc.

Since it looks like the case will support a regular ATX mobo the choice is a bit easier. I'm going for a board that has extra PCIe x8 slots, so that I can add an external enclosure if I end up using all the current disks. What I have now is: CPU: AMD FX-6100 Mobo: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 RAM...

Does anyone know if the following board support the AMD FX-6100 CPU: http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron3000/SR56x0/H8SML-i.cfm I need a mobo for this CPU that supports ECC memory, is Micro-ATX form factor and has two 1GbE ports.

I've changed my mind about my new setup and I'm getting two servers instead of one of which one is a dedicated NAS. This simplifies disk management among other things. I've decided on the following case and need recommendations for CPU and Mobo...

Decided on the following: Case: http://www.xcase.co.uk/product-p/case-316-pro.htm PSU: F.S.P 2U 600W Single 80+ Mobo: SuperMicro X9SCi-LN4F CPU: Xeon E3-1220v2 RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC SAS card: 2 x LSI SAS 9211-8i HBA This adds up to a total of 1998 euros with shipping from X-Case. I'll...

I would like a case that's fairly silent, so a 1U with high RPM fans is probably out of the question.

I'm building a NAS server. I have an external 16-bay enclosure and the required RAID card for it. I'm looking at recommendations for the server part. My current idea is to get the following components: 1. Intel Core i3-3250 CPU 2. SuperMicro MBD-X9SCM-IIF Micro ATX mobo 3. Kingston...

I currently have two Sun Fire X2100 M2 servers, but these sound like jet engines, so I'm thinking about getting rid of them even though they are extremely reliable. I'm essentially looking for something along the following lines: 1. Rack mountable silent chassis 2. Quality PSU 2. ECC memory...

I've had so many people contacting me about parting this sale, so I'll go for it. If you want a specific component feel free to offer something for it. Keep in mind that I do expect the individual parts to add up to what I'm asking for the whole...

My experience is with Areca and Adaptec. Areca has at least dedicated chip support for RAID6 computations.

I'm selling the following system that I've used for coding: Case: Thermaltake V9 Black Edition (VJ400G1N2Z) PSU: Corsair 620HX CPU: Intel Core i7-920 Cooler: XIGMATEK Dark Knight S1283V Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P RAM: 12GB (6x2GB Corsair HX3X12G1600C9) HDD: WD Black 640GB (WD6401AALS) GPU: MSI...

Yet, cheap ($300-$500) dedicated controllers seems to beat the crap out of a fairly modern CPU when running RAID6 in terms of raw throughput. However, as you implied, storage systems seem to be moving towards providing more features through more complex file systems. Since the file system is...
