    Yea I think hardware RAIDing is quickly becoming obsolete as CPUs become better at it than the controller chips. So what made you choose OpenIndiana vs Solaris vs Open Solaris or one of the other forks? I know OpenIndiana seems to be sort of oriented towards NAS primarily. Are you planning any...

    Need an x16 PCI Low Profile 3 Head Card

    My next project is to build a couple of mITX boxes in tiny cases, leaning towards the Silverstone LC12 http://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=77&area=en which looks like I can mod the case pretty easily to hold the card even though there is no expansion slot, but because I have to mod the...

    Your Windows 8 Views

    Personally I feel Microsoft would sell more copies of new Windows versions with fixes and improvements, if they want to add a new UI it should be included as an alternate "theme". Simple fact is the OS should not be anything more than an organizational structure to launch apps which are, or at...

    All Time Best Motherboard ?

    Really? in almost 200 posts only 1 person mentions Tyan? Rock solid boards, maybe not the overclockers dream board, but I would have put my dual socket1 Celeron 300 box with the S1832 against most OC'd singles, and that board was overclockable, which I did. My main systems have all been dual...
