    Mobos for Xeon Haswell?

    Only thing I have heard so far http://supermicrotalk.com/index.php?topic=99.0 I am eagerly waiting too. I need a microatx storage server board. This X10SL7-F seems like the best EVER dream NAS board? Not sure if it is a power hog or if bios allows underclocking/undervolting. With a v3 xeon...

    Can synology ds1812+ run FreeNAS? What raid hardware does it have?

    Okay so thats settled. Its unfortunate, but I am optimistic someone will get around it. Its an x86 computer after all. For ZFS. Eight. Is there a whitebox or microserver case available in the same size as a ds1812, with a low power power supply, 8 bay drive cage/backplane? Because I have...

    Can synology ds1812+ run FreeNAS? What raid hardware does it have?

    I am about to pull the trigger on DS1812+ 8 bay NAS after a long debate with myself over this vs DIY. I could basically counter every argument I came up with, except the loss of ZFS and RAID-Z. Synology apparently has their own proprietary "hybrid raid" which, my research shows, is buggy and...

    WTB: Used 7950 Video Card @$250 - MSI TWIN FROZR or Gigabyte

    I am back. Any sellers needing to get rid of their (MSI or GB only) 7950? Its odd that retail is still stuck at $300, I was expecting it to go down by now.

    WTB: Used 7950 Video Card @$250 - MSI TWIN FROZR or Gigabyte

    hey thanks for the historic price info! Yea I think 240-250 is reasonable, but then not all 7950 cards are the same. Plus each passing day they drop in value. Well anyway, looks like everyone is holding their 7950s close to their chest, and no MSI stuff here. I just got one offer for a...

    WTB: Used 7950 Video Card @$250 - MSI TWIN FROZR or Gigabyte

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600286767%20600286739&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20 XFX DD 7950 is now 270AR, so I wonder if prices are set to drop big time and if my $250 used price point is set too high... Please note, my case cant take...

    WTB: Used 7950 Video Card @$250 - MSI TWIN FROZR or Gigabyte

    Greetings all, I am looking to buy a used 7950 video card. I thought now after AMD's announcement about the next generation 8000 series cards coming soon, (maybe January?), you guys might be looking to get rid of your old stuff. My shortlist: MSI Radeon HD 7950 3GB R7950 TWIN FROZR Gigabyte...

    Upgrading from a i3 2100 to Xeon E3-1245 V2

    That would be the case for a folding computer which was pegged most of the time. OPs question was about a mostly idle machine, where total power would increase if idle power increases, regardless of rise in cpu efficiency or even reduction in load power / TDP. For a machine that is 90% idle...

    Low power server solution

    I'm interested in this exact same config and same low power goal, though my budget is 30w idle. I want a micro atx board , not itx, (need minimum 6 sata + AMT + integrated usb3 ) and I cant fnd anything with c216. I'm never buying Asus again after I saw the horrible quality of their WS...

    i7 build - Everything stock and no linpack stability :(

    Dear Veterans, This is my first time OCing and my first build in about 10 years. Last PC I built was a PII-266Mhz. So please pardon any silliness. Sorry for the length of the post too, I thought I'd rather describe the details than forget something important. So I put this rig together...
