    Gmail filtering and forwarding...

    I haven't looked into this just yet but I do know Gmail has some very good filtering options and was wondering if anyone had any insight or ideas how I would do something like this. I would like to filter all emails from a certain address that usually come with a body of text and an attachment...

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    I finished off my CCNA without racking this stuff and now that I'm investing the time for my CCNP I thought it nice to have it done properly :)

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    I'll try to answer in order since I can't quote easily on mobile but: Yes that is exactly what I'm looking for, I would migrate to a managed one later to power on the lab remotely, but not needed as of now. SK or MB? Nah it isn't that bad. I live in southern Ontario, I believe it was once...

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    Any good recommendations for a cheap PDU, nothing fancy just individual power switches for each device would be a requirement.

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    Yes I am working on my CCNP right now, I've had this pile of routers in a stack for a while now and its time to rack it properly. The unfortuante part about looking on Craigslist is that I live in a technological dead zone in Canada. Here kijiji rules, not craigslist. The only racks you can...

    New Rack Comparison/Opinion

    I need a new rack to house my home lab and found two options and am looking for an opinion. I will be housing 4 x Cisco 2821 (8U) 4 x 3560/3750 switches (4U) 3 x 1800's (3U) -possibly a Misc. shelf or two (unknown at this time) I count at least 15U without any shelves or other items...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    I just started using my PC a lot more and not having a lot of fan based equipment in my room as I did before really makes it stand out. Granted it has a Noctua cooler, a Corsair PSU that the fan doesn't move in and an SSD it is quite silent. After having to replace the stock cooler on the 5850...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    Also thanks for those links! Just skimming over the reviews for the MSI is exactly what I was looking for. Most of the complaints are about the size of the MSI card and nothing about weird noises and I'm going to look around a bit more at the other cards as well. The reason I bring up the coil...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    Any reason why? My need is for a silent card 90% of the time and a fairly good card 10% of the time. I want to have a fairly reasonable card available, just silent when not in use. Why this feature hasn't been made available in desktops is beyond me. I can't see why load based fan speed...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    I'm expressly familier with all the things you've mentioned quite well. It's just that most reviews SPECIFICALLY mention this card as having it. My PSU is fine and so is everything else. My fanless desktop switch had whine and it was faulty, new one didn't. My old centrino based laptop had...

    Silent Mid Range Video Cards

    I've been mulling over getting a new video card similar to the ASUS Stryx 960 as I've read it doesn't even spin up the fans until its taxed. I've also heard on near silent systems that it can start to whine (electronic noises or coil whine) If there is anything that I hate more than fan...

    Network pics thread

    I'm assuming you mean me :) No, not yet. Are they known to go bad? Although..... I had HP send me a new one within the first week due to incredible electric noise or "coil whine" which drove me nuts. This one has been working fine.
