Ya I like that plan. Not sure why this hasn't crossed my mind before. Now it just comes down to finding a layer 3 switch that can handle 10 GbE. Needed to get one eventually so now is as good a time as any. Does anyone know of any good 10 GbE layer 3 switches? I know there's a good amount and...

I have a 10 GbE network and want it to stay that way, lol. Speaking of layer 3 switch though, could you have then a 10 GbE connection coming in to the firewall in pfSense and then the other Chelsio port going to the layer 3 switch and still have more than one interface? Now that I think about...

So I can have multiple interfaces. I wanted to physical segment the network from the firewall server.

So instead of buying https://www.netgate.com/products/xg-1541.html and then buy the Chelsio expansion card which gives you 2 SFP+ ports I was shooting for something that would get me 4 - 6 SFP+ ports. There isn't anything that Netgate has that gives you more than 2 SFP+ ports.

I am looking to build or buy a rackable networking server who's sole job will be to run a firewall applicaiton like pfSense. The hard part is that I would like something that has 6 or more SFP+ ports or the option to install NICs that can get you to 6 or more SFP+ ports. Does anyone have any...

What terminology was it? Software RAID isn't going to work for my purposes and its slower than hardware RAID, so count that out. The RAID card I choose is because I didn't want to spend like $100+ on a RAID card. It was recommended as well by a few sources from Newegg and such so I'll be testing...

Well I ended up buying this RAID card a few days ago. I have two 1TB HDD's that I want to put in RAID 1. My operating system is a hypervisor (Hyper-V Server 2012 R2) which has multiple virtual machines running on it. So I need to get RAID 1 working for this so my OS and virtual machines are on...

I'm looking for a hardware raid controller card for my mobo. What I am working towards on this machine is installing either Hyper-V server or ESXi as the host on a 1TB HDD. Then the hyper-visor will have multiple VM's running on top of it. I want to setup RAID 1 for this so if one of the HDD's...

Haha ya probably. I have been doing some research and will order parts later in the week. Will make a short write up here and let everyone know how it went.

Ya I can't find anyone who has done this but someone has to be the first! I found this info below. Perhaps the 1920x1080 would work. DV6 Screens UPDATE: This could possibly work. Current New

Hello, I have a laptop (listed below) that I would like to swap the screen in. The one that came with the computer has a 1366px resolution and I would like to swap a 1920x1080p screen in. Current Laptop Screen SparePartWarehouse Amazon Laptop Screen Website Maybe could purchase a screen from...

Anyone have any opinions on this?

Hello, I have a HP 2311x monitor and as you can see in the picture for the listing there is a lot of room between the bottom of the monitor and the stand. What I want to do is get a stand that leaves as little space as possible between the bottom of the monitor and the stand. I haven't done...

Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for your reply. Really was informative and helped me make my decision. Wish more people took the time to reply like you do. I ended up purchasing a G700S mouse with the G240 mouse pad. Got the mouse on sale for $50 and the pad for $18. Pretty happy with my...

I'm trying to pick out a new gaming mouse. It seems that these are the best wireless gaming mice out there and I want to stick with either a Razr or Logitech. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with using any of these? http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-naga-epic-chroma...
