    RAID + Periodic backup?

    It's okay that they are on the same PC... I mostly want to protect against hard drive failures. I'd like something that's fault tolerant of more than one drive failure... so what do you think of having two PCs, one is RAID 1 mirrored, the other consists only of single drives and the RAID 1...

    RAID + Periodic backup?

    Hi all, I know RAID is not considered backup, so has anyone set up a RAID system that includes periodic backup (triple redundancy)? Or a system where a drive is mirrored with another periodically, similar to RAID, but only one drive is normally in use and the other is for backup? I'm looking...

    Zotac Z68-ITX Wifi

    I have the GT430 wifi supreme and the Azurewave wifi module doesn't work reliably, even with updated drivers (anyone else have problems? It seems to have a pretty bad reputation). I just replaced it with a Intel 6230 mini-pci-E card. It works but I get this weird conflict with the USB - in...

    Recommendations for a M-ITX case with half-height expansion?

    The AFOX low profile 6850 looks incredible, but I think it's difficult to get a hold of and costs like 250USD. Tempting to use that in a high power, super-compact build. After looking around more I came across this: ZOTAC Z68-ITX WiFi Supreme mini-ITX which has onboard nvidia GT430 video that I...

    Recommendations for a M-ITX case with half-height expansion?

    I'm planning a new build with a M-ITX mobo, i3 2125 CPU, a half-height GPU (not yet determined), 2.5" SSD and 3.5" HDD (if it fits). The case I'm looking for would ideally be just large enough to fit this without extra space. I'm hoping a power supply around 120W to 150W would be enough. The...

    GM Announces Use of Carbon Fiber in Future Cars

    I love carbon fiber, but to use it to save weight in modern, bloated production cars seems kind of incongruous. Cars have been getting bigger and bigger yearly, with a myriad of unnecessary luxury features (everything motorized, automatic, or heated)... and to keep up with the increasing mass of...

    Robocopy to two destinations simultaneously?

    Hi, I'm trying to backup my files to two identical (2TB) hard drives. I want to make exact duplicates of the data down to time/date of creation etc, so I'm planning on using robocopy /copyall command. I want to copy the data to the two drives simultaneously, but I don't want to mirror the...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Hi, I got the Geminii S, but it's way too tall. The MeOrb looks quite good - I can get it to fit if I replace the NB heatsink with the Thermaltake CL-C0034 Extreme Spirit II (I've seen pictures of this setup earlier in the thread). Will the MeOrb handle the quad core temps of the Q6600...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Thanks for the reply Jen, I went ahead and got the Geminii S along with the board. :cool:

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Thanks for the replies. How about the Scythe Shuriken revB or Big Shuriken? How do they compare to the Geminii? I read that the Geminii S blocks access to the ram. Thanks

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Hi, I'm building a custom low profile case. I know the Geminii S fits but that heatsink is huge compared to the board. Are there any lower-profile heatsinks, or is that one pretty much as good as it gets? Also, anyone know where to get the wire harness that comes with most computer cases -...

    Computers Make You Stupid

    You're very rich?? What does that have to do with grammar? Maybe you mean fluent?

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Are there two hard drives and one DVD drive in that case? How did you do that? There are only two SATA ports on the zotac... did you attach one by USB port?

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Wait, so the onboard HDMI and DVI cannot be operated simultaneously? They are using the same output with different connector? Oh well three monitors is plenty, I guess. Four could still work if the VGA is independent from the onboard HDMI/DVI. Just can't have four digital outputs - only three...
