    Where to purchase Ubiquiti gear?

    B&H also sells UBNT gear. I'm in CA so my only complaint is shipping times. Other than that, it's also nice to order from B&H - good price, service, free shipping.

    Routing cables from back of the rack to the front!

    http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=105&cp_id=10516&cs_id=1051603&p_id=7260&seq=1&format=2 + http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=105&cp_id=10519&cs_id=1051902&p_id=7285&seq=1&format=2 then i just use 6" patch cables to my switch located 1u above. The way I saw it, this only takes...

    Multiple switches

    I may be wrong (I'm not in IT) but my understanding, and very basic explanation, is a drop is the location you want the wallplate. This is different than the number of lines/ports going to each wallplate. If my understanding is correct, then you would just be adding additional ports to the...

    ESXI x8si6-f passthrough sata

    Thanks for the offer, dasaint, but I think 2TB limitation is a deal breaker for me. Thanks for all the other suggestions. I'll spend more time researching. On a side note, since danswartz suggested I search ebay for LSI HBAs, how come the LSI 9211-8i is cheaper than the m1015 (~$100 v ~$125)...

    ESXI x8si6-f passthrough sata

    I've been looking for m1015's on ebay for a while. Although not that expensive (~125ish after shipping), I was hoping I could find something sub $50. Do you have any recommendation?

    ESXI x8si6-f passthrough sata

    I'm trying to passthrough my onboard sata ports to a vm (cheapie sata card housing my VMs) but the guest vm crashes before it boots. Does anyone have experience getting the ports passed through to a guest? If it helps any, I've tried windows as well as openindiana. I would ideally want to be...

    Backplane Conundrum

    This. The only thing I can think of that would help you is something like this http://www.amazon.com/EverCool-Dual-Drive-Triple-Cooling/dp/B0032UUGF4/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_2_1. I used to use a lian li version until I bought a rackmount chassis.

    Help For Home Infrascucture Plans

    Another thing to do is make sure your hardware will support passthrough (vt-d/iommu). Your processor supports vt-d but your mobo may not.

    Aleratec 2-bay 2.5" HDD Bracket

    I saw that but was hoping that might just take up the space between two slot clovers but not actually covering the slot below.

    Aleratec 2-bay 2.5" HDD Bracket

    HDDs. They're currently sitting atop a pile of cables just in front of the psu. I know there's plenty of space for me to just secure it to some blank space on the sides with velcro or tape but wanted something a bit nicer. I just can't tell whether the 2 bay would take up two slots or not...

    Aleratec 2-bay 2.5" HDD Bracket

    Hi, all. I was looking at mounting my two 2.5" drives in my Norco 4224 and was wondering whether anyone had any experience with the Aleratec 2-Bay 2.5" SATA Bracket which goes into the expansion slot. Specifically, I'm concerned about heat and whether it would interfere with any of my...

    Rewiring house, suggestions?

    Ah, the benefits of a 2-story home. I only have a single story with a sensor in the common spaces, my office and my bedroom so it's all or nothing w/ the sensors.

    Rewiring house, suggestions?

    Another thing to think about is whether you use the alarm at night. I turn on my alarm in "stay" mode when I know the doors/windows won't be opened any more that evening. In this mode, the motion sensors will be off but door and window sensors will still be activated.

    where did all the molex go?

    I haven't checked, but if the backplanes are the same as on the Norco 4224, which I have, there are two molex plugs on each backplane. You only need to plug in one of the two for each backplane. There are two plugs for redundant psus, which you aren't using, and plugging in both sets won't...

    APC SMT/SUA 1500RM2U Racking

    That's what I would do except my rack is an enclosed rack with sound dampening material on all sides (xrackpro). I would prefer to actually have the ups raised off of the floor of the rack. I realize that I could just buy a 4 post rack/shelf to assist in supporting the weight but would rather...
