    It is actually a Poker II with MX Browns and white backlighting (a MassDrop exclusive, if I recall) which I swapped into a TEX 60% aluminum case! With the new aluminum case, it is amazing and feels solid - before this, I came from a series of Corsair mech keyboards and just had too many problems...

    Is the Gunmetal Corsair K70 still available?

    No. They are discontinued. I have an RMA request pending as I want to replace the burnt out LEDs on my gunmetal K70-Br, but the support tech flat out told me they stopped making the gunmetals: Unfortunately, my entire setup is brushed aluminum and the black anodized model simply doesn't fit...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    Finally got time to build the second one out, fix the issues with the first one (fun fact - old VIBs will drive the kernel crazy) and cleaned-up/shortened the cables! Overall, this whole setup is pulling just over 120 watts and is almost inaudible. High-Res pics here...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    There is definitely enough room to swap in a CWC with a single fan configuration, and apparently, with enough ingenuity and self-hatred/perseverance, you can fit an entire water cooling loop!

    What VMware software should I download for Vmotion, DRS, HA, etc?

    ESXi / Quadro 4000 / VT-D Question

    I believe you only need the VT-d switch enabled if you are using vDGA, not vSGA. Check the Deployment Whitepaper - page 8 and 18

    Apple 27" LED Cinema Display

    Windows 7 and 8.1 recognize it as Display iSight under Imaging Devices as it does other cams but there is a duplicate item (also named Display iSight) that always appears under Other Devices. I've never had problems using the iSight with gChat or Skype.

    APC SMT1500I vs ESXi 5.5

    It means you have to have, at a minimum, an Essentials license for the host as that opens up the APIs allowing for the UPS to works its magic; the Free license is completely locked down so it will not work with the UPS. As for ESXi 5.5, so far both VMware nor APC haven't mentioned support for...
