    Low power consumption virtualized NAS/Internet gateway box w/ PCI passthrough

    I like the Synology Disk Station on paper. It's a perfect fit for the criteria. Looking at it, the DS1515+ supports 5 disks maximum and runs $700 but can do everything I'd need it to including virtualizing my Internet gateway and running any operating system I want it to. Woot! The DS916+ may be...

    Low power consumption virtualized NAS/Internet gateway box w/ PCI passthrough

    1: This thread will be used as justification to have the solution funded externally. "Whatever gets the job completely done with no corners cut and that isn't extravagant." I likely won't foot the hardware costs, but I will have to pay subscription fees/other recurrent costs for the off-site...

    Low power consumption virtualized NAS/Internet gateway box w/ PCI passthrough

    Hey all, I got caught flat-footed and had a disk die with a massive amount of important data on it. I'm likely going to be footing a clean room bill to fix it. I might be able to have it paid for by an organization - and I might be able to have them pay for a NAS build so that this never...

    Pair of GTX 780 6 GB cards or wait for GTX 880 8 GB cards?

    Considering I already have an office I'd say my chances of being paid are fairly high as long as I don't royally screw up. I'm going to wait until the GTX 880 comes out due to API support. I'm not worried about memory bus on the card - as long as they don't include a 384 bit memory bus and...

    Lync as a Skype alternative?

    Hello all, Microsoft is systematically eradicating third party clients from the Skype network. This is fine for the majority of users. I need something a bit more agile than the default, generic Skype client. Considering the number of contacts I have that use Skype, I can't just up and...

    Pair of GTX 780 6 GB cards or wait for GTX 880 8 GB cards?

    The Titan's main advantage is the FP64 performance, which is substantial, but with what I'm doing at tthe level I'm doing it at and where I'm doing it at, I'm likely going to notice the RAM before the capped FP64 performance. This is a useful table on the topic...

    Pair of GTX 780 6 GB cards or wait for GTX 880 8 GB cards?

    Thank you all for the discussion! Just to reiterate: The GTX 880 has a 256 bit memory bus. The rumors say there will be 4 and 8 gig variants in the wild in very short order. There's been a leak from Gigabyte regarding a HSF that'll dissipate 650 watts of cataclysmic hyperbole that I remember...

    Pair of GTX 780 6 GB cards or wait for GTX 880 8 GB cards?

    Hello all! So, due to a really weird set of circumstances I'm looking to purchase a pair of CUDA capable video cards to use for school. I either have to spend the money on video cards or chuck it at my debt, the money cannot be used for other purposes unless it is a tool that I can use in my...

    Building a hypervisor+Internet gateway rig

    That doesn't output a sine wave, I actually started doing some heavy reading on this over here: http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3964&page=4 It's fairly interesting and makes me eager to get into my EE coursework this Fall. I can't order until June 1st though. I just got told I...

    Building a hypervisor+Internet gateway rig

    So we'll need to find a UPS that'll not shut off when it detects 500-550W of load (I can't reasonably foresee the system ever using more than that even with a pair of mid-range GPUs in it) to fit into my budget. I can take a wild guess, but my wild guess is going to be for 'inexpensive'.

    Building a hypervisor+Internet gateway rig

    There's an equal chance that I'm using an Antec 300W PSU from God-knows-when, in this system. I do know that both that Thermaltake PSU and my ancient Antec PSU are missing from the shelf that hosts my power supply Krakken. I'd guesstimate this system's running at about 150W under maximum load...

    Building a hypervisor+Internet gateway rig

    I have multiple PSUs including the Seasonic 550W with active PFC.(SS-550HT) I believe I'm using a Thermaltake 430W with passive PFC in the system, but checking would require me to shut the system down and pull it out of its corner. I use a cheap UPS to keep this system from being dumped when...

    Building a hypervisor+Internet gateway rig

    I'm sold on AMD. I can't find a single good reason to go for Intel if I'm trying to keep all of my bodily organs. Average power consumption is 25%-33% more, but the PITA-factor is 25%-33% less. I'll likely order this next month/as soon as I can sell my Q9450. Also, it looks like this CPU...

    Building a hypervisor+Internet gateway rig

    There's a lot of confusion out there regarding VT-d/IOMMU and the z77. Last time I looked closely at it, the unlocked K series processors did not support VT-d, but the chipset did. Looking closer at it, Google's reporting a mess. I did pull...

    Building a hypervisor+Internet gateway rig

    In my first post I explained in general terms what I was doing and what I was looking for, then asked what I was looking for. I can empathize with you - you deal with newbies who gripe about not having their hands held. However, the bullet-by-bullet argument style employed on political debate...
