    Will 6 core Xeons work in Intel 5520 motherboards?

    Will 6 core Xeons work in Intel 5520 motherboards? I'd like to build a dual Xeon system, but still have the option to later upgrade to 6 core chips later. Does anyone know if the new chip will require all new motherboards. I appears that the new 6 core i9s will in fact use the same...

    Where can I get Norco 4020 Hot Swap bay Screws?

    Well, I have a few Norco 4020 cases, but lost the bags of screws for the host swap bays. I even looking for replacements at a local hardware store and they said I'd probably have to contact the original manufacturer. Anyone know where else to get these from or the specific size to search...

    Project: No Name File Server. 56K beware

    Looks like Areca has posted new firmware for the 1680. Any idea if it works with Seagate AS drives?

    Is it possible to pause an OCE operation?

    Just wondering, is it possible to pause an OCE operation, shutdown the computer and resume later? If it depends on the card, I'm talking about a Highpoint 2340 with a 9 disk RAID 5. Basically, I'm wondering if having a UPS connected, during a blackout would allow me to safely stop the...

    New media server/ folding box

    Wait, then why that matter if the card in the 4th slot was recognized automatically? Also, how do you extend the desktop, if the card doesn't even recognize a monitor being connected?

    New media server/ folding box

    Yup, tried taking the RAID card out and every single permutation of empty slots. No effect. The only thing I didn't try was uninstalling old drivers. Anyway, that 2 GPU box is up and running fine. Looks like the 4 GPU box repeatedly crashes when running more than 1 folding client. I'll...

    New media server/ folding box

    Well, I got both boxes setup, but for some reason on one of the K9A2 motherboards, Vista64 won't recognize any monitor connected to video cards in the PCIe 16x slots 2 & 3. Yes, it did install the drivers fine with all 3 cards showing up in the Device Manager. Hmmm, at first I tried my dummy...

    New media server/ folding box

    Now, I'm wondering if a Power PC & Cooling 750 would be enough for rig with 3x 8800GS, 1 Raid card,8 to 16 HDs, and 7 Tornado fans????? Should I just go for something that's a 1000W+?

    New media server/ folding box

    Well, I've changed things around a bit. I ordered a second K9A2 and 7x 8800 GSs. Also, I've gone with 6 of the 1TB Seagates for the initial array. As for Optical Drives, the file server will have a slim Lite-On DVD+-RW. The other will have 1 LG Blu-Ray/HD-DVD 6x Drive and 4 Lite-On...

    Which 4870x2 to get?

    So, does the Visiontek actually have better memory chips, overclock higher, or stay cooler? Or, is the main reason to get it because of their customer service?

    New media server/ folding box

    Well, I'm stuck with an extra 8800GT, and haven't ordered the GX2s yet. Not gonna build another system, so it's either go all 3x8800GT, 3x9800GX2, or (2x9800GX2+1x8800GT). In the second scenario, I have an extra 8800GT not being used. No CPU client. Not so sure the CPU usage would not...

    Which 4870x2 to get?

    Well, it looks like there are quit a few brands offering up their own 4870x2s. Now, I just need to pick one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=4870+x2&x=0&y=0 Looks like the MSI comes with the highest default clock, but does that really even...

    New media server/ folding box

    Why the 790FX board? For one, it was only $149. Secondly, it just had a layout I was looking for. The K9A2 has 3 double spaced PCIe 16x slots. I looked at intel boards, but they were both quite a bit more and didn't do 3 double space PCIe 16x slots. Why that CPU? Because it was cheap and...

    New media server/ folding box

    Ok, but what version of Vista 64? Also, isn't there some sort of limit on the number of GPUs in Vista? I heard people had to use XP to get around that.

    New media server/ folding box

    Ok well, I'll be building a media server for parents. I only have 1 day to build it though, since I fly back the next day. That means I need to get everything together and get it right. A few items are undecided right now. Basically little stuff I'm vacillating on. Any suggestions...
