    XenClient Express - Does this fit my situation?

    I'm wondering if someone with some XenClient experience can maybe give me some insight on its capabilities. Basically, I have one desktop computer at home that is built far beyond what I need for day to day computing (i7-2600k, 24GB RAM). I currently have a Windows Server 2008 R2 AD server...

    HTPC / W7MC Lag

    Thanks, I'll check and rebuild my cache for MB. I won't be adding any HDDs to it, I plan to move all media except recorded TV to network storage toward the end of the year. Currently I'm over lack luster wifi for the HTPC, so I'm also waiting for 802.11ac to hopefully get me closer to par with a...

    HTPC / W7MC Lag

    When you upgraded to the GT 520, we're you using an AMD APU for graphics? I don't really want to add a discreet card because I think its unnecessary and I am very space limited. I wouldn't have guessed GPU lag however.

    HTPC / W7MC Lag

    I built my first HTPC about 6mo ago, with the following specs: AMD A6-3500 4GB DDR3 1600 RAM 60GB SSD (OS/programs) 1.5tb 5400rpm Seagate Green Ceton InfiniTV4 I works quite well, and I'm slowly working out the bugs in it. One annoyance I have with it, is the interface lags a little...

    Help with purchase of HTPC in a box

    I"m not well versed on them, but would a Boxee fit your needs? They look kinda cool and are cheap as hell.

    VMWare, FreeNAS, and RAID....possible?

    I'm not sure about the harddisk situation. I know in Workstation there is an option to use a physical harddisk instead of a file, but I have never explored it before. If I am required to use a hyper visor then I would need to purchase a dedicated box (I want my Win 7 install as the host since I...

    VMWare, FreeNAS, and RAID....possible?

    I've been wanting to run a home server for a while, but didn't want to go buy all new hardware right away to do it. I have a overpowered system for my needs right now, i7-2600k OCed, 8GB RAM (about to up to 16 or 24). I just started running Server 2008 R2 on VMWare workstation as a service...

    Is this possible with virtual machines?

    My rig runs round the clock anyway, I don't use a sleep mode so I'm fine with the power consumption. As for the software, I'd prefer to stick with VMWare since I use it at work, however I'm open to others. What I do want is one that runs entirely in the background. I don't want something open...

    Is this possible with virtual machines?

    I'm somewhat familiar with VMWare from work, there we use workstation, player, and vSphere. The type 2 that you mention, does that mean a host OS level like workstation and player, type 1 being machine level like hypervisor? Would using workstation just be like my option two of running a VM in...

    Is this possible with virtual machines?

    I'm wanting to get some virtual servers setup, but I'm not sure if what I have in mind is possible. I have a desktop computer with a ton more horsepower than I typically need (most intensive thing is BF3). I am wanting to run a server in my house for some files, domain controller, and offload...

    Odd Windows 7 Sleep Issue

    I have an HP laptop that I am using on a dock (lid closed with 2 external monitors). My computer was set to go to sleep after 30mins battery/45 mins power, but was going to sleep after roughly 3 minutes. I tried setting this to "0" minutes in the advanced settings so that both are set to Never...

    Media Center to be extra-cost option in Win8

    Not at all, probably better in many regards. But for any of us that want to record premium channels with a Cable Card, WMC is the only choice.

    Configuring audio setup

    I am trying to use audio over hdmi to my Samsung tv and then optical out to my logitech speakers so that other devices connected to the tv get audio. I have an and a6-3500 in my HTPC. I have it working, but it is only letting me select stereo audio in the control panel. Is this a hardware...

    Looking for music headphones for work

    Thanks for all the suggestions. One other pair that has interested me is the Denon AH-D1100s since a few are $100 on Amazon right now. I've seen some good about these, and really good about the 2000/5000 models (although way out of price range). Anyone have any feedback on these for $100? Price...

    Looking for music headphones for work

    Hello all, I'm after a pair of nice headphones for work to listen to music. I listen to mostly rock/metal and some rap, and I would also consider myself a bass head (especially on rap). I'd like to get something around $50 if possible (including used) but won't spend over $100. I also will be...
