    Ten Years Ago On Tax Day

    Man I remember when I had a TBird. I was a little kid, and we got this new computer, it was an IBM Netvista. It had gigahertz processor!!! It was a 1.1GHz IIRC. We also had an ATI All-in-Wonder, the original. And it was running WinME. What a major pain it was to get the TV tuner to work (ATI...

    used storage server?

    used storage server?

    It's true I don't really need the hotswap trays... That would cut the costs a little bit. If I were to buy a case only, I'll probably use my old computer as the brain of the server (old AMD Opteron). I'll check for fixed HDD cases, thanks for the tip :)

    used storage server?

    I'm starting to look at different options for a storage server. I went on eBay and found some servers, complete except for the hard disks. Is there any disadvantages to buying a used server? I mean, for a little more than the price of a new case, you have a complete server with case, psu, mobo...

    two identical monitors, different colors

    I have 2 monitors (LG W2253V) on my computer right now. The other day, I saw that the colors were different between the screens. I checked the OSD and set the settings of the two screens to the same thing. I also checked the color correction in CCC and it was disabled. One screen was connected...

    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Thread

    Ok, I guess I'll have to call to. My retailer was of no help really on that matter. They want me to check the power supply... I see them coming, if it works with another one, they'll say change your power supply... I hope I'll get good service from Gigabyte.

    Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Thread

    I bought this mobo a month ago, and I get the whine... :( But if I disable C1E I don't hear it anymore (at least it's not loud enough to bother me) I'll try to get my mobo replaced with a Rev2, because it's still a defect (in my opinion, we'll see what Gigabyte will say). Do you have a...
