Seasonic makes a damn good product

I need to loose this $10 tabletop mic im using

On my Acer B233HU it recognizes devices plugged into it. I have my USB wireless connection through it, and my mouse. No issues. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 if that matters, and the monitor is one up four down

Definitely got a use for another PSU

Im totally in for this

mhmm new puter

Expectations are that Bush(43) might leave around 100 TB of data for the archives. So basically a TB a month. Seriously 100TB is a problem to store? Thats not even one full rack with backups. I can understand that properly indexing all that data for easy retrieval might pose some problems...

The core tech in this gun is like 15 years old. Look up the OICW rifle. Basically add a rifle to thing underneath the grenade tube. This is not what troops need, bullets have at least the potential to be accurate. Grenades, not so much, even with thermal optics (which arent as cool as it...

My desire for a unified CAD/file server duties is mostly based in that motherboards that have a good portion of their real estate taken up by RAM slots tend to be server motherboards. Any this sort of motherboard tends to be stable. No need to rebuy hardware. Though there are lower...

Syntax - Im not to concerned about the performance loss on using multipliers, but like you said, id be dealing with second rate products, which is what I am more concerned about. Seems like sticking to 4/8/16 drives mates up with quality hardware better.

Ockie - definately keep that in mind. GLSauron - Why are multipliers a bad idea? Case wise im looking at a norco rackmount, or going with a Lian Li 343b. Looking at some of Ockies systems got my with hungry eyes. UPS wise, my old company used Cyberpower UPSs with the LCD displays on em. I...

The 2 port RAID 5 cards support port multipliers. Something like this http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/ad5sapm-e.asp similiar idea to the SAS to SATA cables you posted. Syba, Rosewill, and Highpoint are the brands of 2 port SATA controllers that support raid 5. Not really even B...

Im pretty new to the RAID storage arena. Ive heard a lot of garbage information about RAID arrays. Read through some of the worklogs on here of people who have built some real nice storage setups. After lurking in the forums for a bit, reading the news site for a few years, I registered, to pick...

9TB is a lot, ive got 3TB now pretty much full, no RAID. As the collection has grown, ive gotten more concerned about backing it up. My non media backup files I have backed up all over the place. Raid 6 does provide more security, im not sure I need that much though. Im not sure what features...

Its gonna be a new system. Probably going to be primarily used for CAD (Solidworks, Solidedge, and maybe some ProE) and maybe start folding. Im thinking a Supermicro or Tyan dual 771 mobo for now. Though some of the upcomming I7 mobos look appealing too. Either way I am probably going to be...
