    Budget Point-to-Point?

    Ubiquiti Nanostations or Airgrids will work fine and be easy to setup. If you want to make it harder than it needs to be you could go with MikroTiks in enclosures with a little panel antenna. If you want to go "dirt cheap" check DSLreports used equipment for sale...

    Hyper-V Rig

    Just an update to this thread if anyone is interested the 2008 R2 Hyper-V box has not worked out well. My WHS VM frequently goes haywire maxing out 2 cores. I eventually gave up, pulled the drives and half the RAM and set it aside. Then loaded up WHS by itself on the box for now till I get some...

    Hyper-V Rig

    Yeah your server is a beast. Just out of curiosity... I see you have gone with the Extreme edition of the dual core processor other than the obvious price difference I have never seen a noticeable difference during actual use. How has you experience been with them? Does the high end video card...

    Hyper-V Rig

    I had wondered if the Microsoft aspect of Hyper-V would be problematic with a Linux guest. Ive noticed a similar problem with getting the integration service "or whatever the other respective VM software calls them" installed on Linux in Vmware-Workstation in the past also so this may just be a...

    Antec P180

    That is a great looking cases and has everything I was looking for. It is definitely larger than what I had in mind but if I ever needed to switch to a larger mobo later this would accommodate many more options than the P180. Thanks for pointing me in this direction dkev I will keep this in mind...

    Need a MATX gaming case with a small footprint

    Micro Center still has Core i7 920 for $199.99 if your looking for a deal that one is hard to be beat.

    Antec P180

    It doesn't have to be a small case I am flexible regarding that. The features that sold me on the case were the bottom mount psu, the black interior "saves me the $60 on powder coating" and the overall design of the case. The other selling point of a small case is I currently have a server...

    Antec P180

    Really the case got pretty good reviews on everything except for the weight. I thought it would be the perfect case for my micro-atx i7 build. Do you have a recommendation of another case? I am building a new desktop here are the specs: i7 920 "thank you Micro Center" EVGA 121-BL-E756-TR...

    Hyper-V Rig

    That doesn't look like a bad processor. On the egg it looks like the processor is around $170, 8gb of ram ($180) and any of an assortment of $80-$150 mobos. I was looking at an i5 750 ($195) 8gb DDR3 (219.00) on an ASUS P7F-X (175.00) which seems like a decent amount of extra power for only...

    Hyper-V Rig

    Hello, I am looking to build a new rig to do some light virtualization and storage. I would like to experiment with Hyper-V as I already have experience working with VMWare. The box will run one guest OS full time "WHS probably". The rest of the guest OS'es will just be used for school and...

    PS3 over PC?

    I havent ditched my HTPC entirely but have ditched the cables. Prior to getting my PS3 I had the HTPC wired into the Tv. Now I just use Tversity on the HTPC to stream to the PS3. I'm considering replacing the HTPC with a small server case "like the Chenbro 180" so I can add more storage. If they...
