    Dell U2713H

    "Dim your monitor or put it into sleep mode with Dynamic dimming" (at bottom of Dell's product page)...? Image retention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdhIA8-UIRQ&feature=share&list=UUsYG3xd5uZFz9DagOzF9r-g ?

    hitachi 5k3000 in a raid?

    I currently have the Adaptec 51645 and I'm looking to upgrade my current raid array to about 8, 2TB drives. The 5K3000s look like a great price point and I'm happy with Hitachi, but I haven't heard much about using this particular model in a hardware-based raid array. Does anyone have any...

    Break up data storage systems?

    Any thoughts on creating a new sub-forum for ssd and/or platter-based drives? It would make it a lot easier to sort through. A sub-forum for drive controllers wouldn't be a bad idea either.

    What board to go with 875k & 8GB of G.SKILL?

    I just got a deal on the i7 875k and the G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB 1333 and am looking to finally upgrade from the e6400. I'm not looking for SLI (I'm just going to be putting my 9800gtx+ in there) and am indifferent about USB 3.0 (although they seem to have this more often than not). The...

    FreeBSD ZFS NAS Web-GUI

    I would say rather than using FreeBSD, use OpenSolaris. It has a much better & up-to-date ZFS implementation. If you could give me a pre-built platform that just did ZFS really well ( in regards to performance, features and easy of use), I would (and others, I would imagine) jump at the...

    OCZ Onyx Series SSDs Makes Solid State Storage Affordable

    I would actually like one even smaller, as I've been on the lookout for a perfect drive for my pfSense box. I'm currently using an old pata laptop drive, but lower power consumption is always good.

    Free alternative to windows scan software?

    I just installed the drivers for my Epson scanner, and I was wondering if there are any free alternatives to the built-in windows software. The only real thing that the windows software is missing is a quick copy button. I could try finding and installing the old xp software, but it never...

    Vista Home Premium --> 7 Professional... Best route?

    I'm about to upgrade my parent's computer from Vista Home to 7 Professional via the student upgrade deal, and I was wondering what the best route for this would be. It appears that I cannot go directly from one to the other. Is it easiest to just use the migration utility, or is there a...

    Random BSOD During Windows 7 Install

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what would cause a different BSOD every time I try to install Windows 7 (64bit)? Sometimes it is 5 minutes after selecting the partition and hitting next, other times it doesn't even make it to the accept agreement screen. I ran memtest and didn't encounter any...

    Any chance you could remove the view restrictions on the forum (I really don't feel like registering just to view)?

    Tired of my 680i killing memory, upgrade thoughts?

    Cheaper even, if you go for the 8 port (I have the 24 port). The 8 port goes for about 150 shipped. I mainly got it for the vlan capability.

    Tired of my 680i killing memory, upgrade thoughts?

    Why wouldn't it if my procurve supports it, and I were to use trunking on both my server and main desktop?

    Tired of my 680i killing memory, upgrade thoughts?

    Sorry for the belated response, its been a busy week. After some deliberation, I've decided upon the GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P due to the extra ethernet port (allowing me to team them together). As well as some G.SKILL memory. Does anyone see any problems with this combo? Is there a better 4GB...
