    RAID upgrade suggestions

    I currently run 3x 2TB Samsung F3EG in software RAID5 (mdadm on linux) & have been quite happy with it. However I'm down to ~200GB free so I started thinking about adding more disks, but then I remembered reading something a while ago about RAID5 being a bad idea for large arrays due to the rate...

    Ikea desk gallery

    As I said I've already addressed the feet adjustment, even going as far as using a spirit level to make sure that the desk is perfectly flat in every direction. I think the issue is that there is no cross-bracing whatsoever, so any side-to-side motion ('rocking' as it were) just amplifies. I...

    Ikea desk gallery

    Haven't posted here in years, but just got myself a Galant (160x80cm) with T-legs & am hugely disappointed so was hoping somebody can help me! Even after tightening every single bolt to the brink of stripping the threads & making the surface perfectly level by adjusting the feet (I spent 15...

    'small' 2-way bookshelf/satellite speakers <£300

    (Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in Home Theatre, mods feel free to move.) I'm in the market for a pair of relatively small 2-way bookshelf or satellite speakers to replace my big standmount Mission 732. I have a sub now so I no longer need my mains to play as low, so I'm hoping to...

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    My major quibble with the cinema displays is their non-standard mount (you have to buy an adaptor to use a VESA stand) & their pathetic connectivity.

    laptop recommendation £750/$1000 (UK)

    Want a new laptop by September. Current laptop is a late '06 MacBook (1.83GHz C2D, 3GiB RAM, GMA950) dualbooting 64-bit Archlinux & OS X 10.6, though the latter is very rarely used. Not looking for a portable powerhouse, huge amounts of storage, etc. as I have a capable desktop for that (see...

    Can I get the wallpaper on your Studio 17?

    My guess is either a tiling window manager, or the terminal application 'terminator'.

    Post Your Mac Setup!

    Any reason you don't just use virtual machines? Not as if you don't have the hardware for it.

    Nothing much changed from last time probably, but time for a new photo anyway.

    The fact he has a closet big enough to do that with is what tipped me off!

    Post your "Ghetto Mod" pics

    Took me ages to find a suitable enclosure for the power supply for my new hi-fi amplifier, so until that gets delivered (& is hopefully big enough...) it lives in a Converse box, complete with cooling holes & warning labels.

    Post Your Workstation 2009!

    I thought floorstanding speakers sat on a desk looked weird, but wallmounting them looks ridiculous! Surely they can't sound very good up there either?

    20" SGI Trinitron? I grabbed one of those from a skip few years back & used it for ~6 months, nice monitor!

    Is that a Silicon Graphics keyboard I spy? Think I've still got some of those somewhere!
