My laptop runs an AMD GPU with a HDMI output. I just built a PC for my GF with an nVidia GTS 450, also with an HDMI output. Both machines are running up-to-date software. For the past year, I have been using my laptop as an occasional HTPC by connecting it via HDMI to my 50" Panasonic plasma...

Ahhh. I stand corrected. Now I see the problem lol.

Yes but the socket is not a mini socket...

I recently bought a EVGA GTS 450 and have a small problem. See the pic below: My problems is that the HDMI cables I've tried won't fit into the socket (pictured in red). the space in that corner next to the case bracket is simply too tight. If you look at most HDMI cables, they have quite...

Bump?

As I wrote, it happens to all four brand new drives. And only certain copying procedures when large amounts of files are being transferred as part of one large directory.

Specs: FreeNAS 8.0.2 RAIDZ2 + 4K Mobo: ASUS M4A88T-M LE (NB: AMD 880G, SB: AMD SB710) RAM: Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) ECC Unbuffered Server Memory HDD: 4x SAMSUNG EcoGreen 1TB I can duplicate the errors every time I try to copy a 16GB directory over...

Yep, just tried. No go. I created a different account, used a different card, and a different name at the same shipping address. But alas the same billing address for both cards did me in. The second order was canceled. I have to wait 48 hours.

The drive I want is in stock, selling for $150 (about 3x what it cost 8 weeks ago). I need 4 of them. NE is limiting to 1 per customer. What does this mean? 1 HD per customer per order or what? What is stopping me from ordering the drive 4 times in 4 different orders? Would you all buy...

Just from what I have read, Z2 seems to provide an optimal mix of speed and redundancy. This is for a home server. Nothing terrible fancy. I am currently running a RAID 1 system with 2x 500GB drives with 100GB left in free space. Z2 will give me nearly 4x server space but a lot more redundancy.

Any foreseeable problems with the following hardware? AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0Ghz CPU ASUS M4A88T-M Mobo w/ onboard ATI Radeon HD 4250 Silverstone Strider 500W PS Kingston 8GB DDR3 1333 ECC Memory Intel EXPI9301CT NIC 4x Samsung EcoGreen F2 1TB 5400 RPM Thanks for the comments and...

Crap. I have had the parts for a FreeNAS ZFS build in my NewEgg wishlist for months, including 4x 2TB Samsung drives. I meant to order this system right before Thanksgiving, after returning from a 3-week-long business trip in Europe (where I am currently). I logged into NE yesterday and almost...

Help?

I will be doing some computer upgrades for my father soon. While his mobo has built-in RAID capabilities, I am wondering if I should simply use the Win7 RAID option? He does not game or anything. The most taxing thing he does is use Google Earth. Otherwise, it's just email and surfing. The...

So which one to pick for a server environment? X2 560 $95 3.3 Ghz x2 80W L3: 6MB X4 640 $100 3.0 Ghz x4 95W L3: N/A
