Sorry off-topic but $255? What time frame is that over? Whats the cost per kwh? From Australia so just comparing (if you dont mind me asking)

I just setup Cacti on a debian box. Lazy man way apt-get install cacti :)

I installed Open-VM-Tools-8.8 or whatever it is (In packages) and that boosted my nic speed up to gigabit

Does anyone have any info on the new H77/Z77 compatibility with ESXI 5? Looking at getting the Intel DH77KC with an i5. Also is it possible to pass-through a tv tuner with vt-d? Cheers

Damn i would snatch this case up in a second if it had a window and a black front IO port :/

Good one. You know this will never happen and for our sake dont let it happen :p

So how do you manage the sound across the screens? Wireless headphones? Or can you only select either one source at a time or both?

Sorry should of said, i live in Australia. The denon's are pretty hard to find here it seams, the only one i found was $600 and i can grab the pioneer for $350. Would the denon be worth the extra? I do like it has 1080p up-scaling, but im not sure it has enough inputs for me. I need: -PC audio...

my motherboards onboard sound sucks. Also this stuff is old and i feel it should be used on the off occasion and not used till it dies. It takes up a fair bit of desk space as well. Soundcard would be good for lans and such as well as positional sound or headphone amp and good DAC, and receiver...

Im looking to upgrade my audio for my pc. My current setup consists of: Speakers – old 1970's Sansui AA-3900. 8" woofer and 2"-3" tweeter. They give pretty good sound but i dont want to wear them out since they are pretty old. The best thing is they give pretty nice bass down to about 40Hz...

ah thanks it is a 8086. Be nice if dealextreme said that on the page :/. Those 8086 look pretty uncommon for it to be assumed.

well i thought they where 8087 miniSAS to sata, but if they are 8087 why are they too small for my L8i?

So i bought a USAS2-L8i card for my server and i needed a 8087 fanout cable so i got these http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40722 But they dont seam to be wide enough for the connector. So are these 8088 cables or? Thanks

i dont think ill ever need to shrink it lol. mdadm -v --create /dev/md2 --force --chunk=128 --level=raid5 --spare-devices=0 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdj1 building at ~97000K/sec which isnt to bad

ok so xfs is the winner. I noticed it had a nice and easy grow method (so long lvm lol). So creating the partition on the drives wont give me alignment issues with this drive? I did think about having partitions on the drive would make it easier to identify if the drive is being used or not so...
