    I need some advice. Home Server related.

    A NAS would solve the storage part, but not the server part. It also wouldn't help me learn any AD stuff, though I suppose I could always build a test lab with VMs. I wouldn't get any live experience. Why would I want to use Parity for my UNPROTECTED storage? I's the whole point of parity...

    I need some advice. Home Server related.

    Since I usually focus on the high end, I'm not that familiar with the H77 chipset. As far as I can tell it is the next step down from the Z77 set, but with no overclocking options? Most of the "review sites" seem to focus on the Z77 since it is at the "prosumer" level.

    I need some advice. Home Server related.

    Hrm. The Case needs to be mounted in my closet which is already set up for a 19" rack with about 6u height free. So I can buy a 4020/4220, or buy a mid tower that can hold the drives and lay it sideways on a shelf or something. I could also go "super ghetto" and mount everything directly on a...

    I need some advice. Home Server related.

    Since I don't have an unlimited budget, which processor should I be using? I normally only use the "High-End Sweet Spot", so I am unaware of just how much power those lower end CPUs actually have/don't have. There is a $50 jump between those 3 I listed. Do any meet my needs? Any other...

    I need some advice. Home Server related.

    I'm in charge of everything electronics or computer based in the house. At the moment everything is poorly set up, down to the electrical and cable runs. As soon as spring rolls around and I can shut the power off, the house is being rewired. Until then I'm stretching my budget to get all the...

    Triple monitor sugestions? Feb 2013 $500ish budget

    Pulled the trigger on 3x S2440L. Got all new cables for my 3 machines for another $35 shipped. Shipping was $10 so I may as well get the right lengths for everything. I'm going to have to build a VESA adapter along with the triple mount, but it's OK I guess.

    Triple monitor sugestions? Feb 2013 $500ish budget

    Hrm. Dell S2440L ? $299 down to $199 with another $20 off (Newegg actually takes the $20 off all 3) $539 shipped? I'd have to get 2 DVI>HDMI cables. Sale ends in a few hours though. Not IPS. anyone have one of these? Reviews for them are sparse.

    Triple monitor sugestions? Feb 2013 $500ish budget

    or possibly Dell S2340M? For $169.99 it seems a good deal for an IPS. Plus it has super thin bezels. Any experience with this one?

    3 Ideas maybe? LG IPS234T-PN $174.99 BenQ GW2450 $169.99 ASUS VS238H-P $169.99 I'm not sure how old each of these is. Or if "old" is good/bad. Anyone have any comments on these?

    Triple monitor sugestions? Feb 2013 $500ish budget

    I'm currently using 2x Dell 2405FPWs on my main machine. They are starting to show their rage though. I have a GTX670 and MIGHT get a second later this year. I'm looking to upgrade to a triple monitor setup. 3x 23" or 24". My budget is about $500ish USD for the 3 monitors + any cables I...

    2TB Reliability and Testing?

    While it is true that people are much more motivated to leave a review if they are UNHAPPY with a product (5 times more likely in fact), sometimes it can be an indication. For instance, a certain Seagate 2TB drive got more than 2500 bad reviews in a week on newegg. There was a real firmware...
