Depending on the area, I'd be worried about getting a stabbing :D

Over ethernet would be your best option. Use gigE cards and a gigE switch and you're good to go.

If you're buying it off CL, I'd be more concerned with him showing up and taking your money for the Drobo, and leaving you with nothing. Be sure to do this in a public area, and maybe take a laptop or do it at a library, and run diags on the device to make sure it is 100% working. (All the...

Just the data redundcy. Im a busy grad student so I dont have time to learn *nix or bsd. I like GUIs. I'd settle on just Win 2008 server RC2 though.

As far as file storage goes, is it better to install Windows Storage Server, then WHS, or just leave it as win2k+8 RC2 , and maybe virtualize the WHS?

Excellent job as always, Danny. I was wondering if you could pick me out a mobo and proc. I prefer Intel, and any mobo with Gbe is fine by me. I was going to go with 4 gigs of G. Skill mem, and if you could recommend PSU for 12 drives, I would be stoked.

I haven't bricked mine yet, but I absolutely love it, almost all games at max settings, :D

Budget for just the case/mobo and some non-RAID controllers. I intend to use WHS or Win2k8 RC2, not sure yet. I have about 8 drives, and would like capability to expand. I was looking at something along the lines of 4 gigs ram, and preferably NOT a rackmount, I've priced around and those...

Can someone recommend me a case (room for 15+ 3.5 inch hds), proc, ram, and a PSU? Im interested in setting either WHS or Win2008 RC2 as a fileserver. Don't need a true RAID card, just going to use the OS's pooling. Forgot to add a budget of around 500-600 USD. Looking to add about 8 hds...

I picked up and HP touchpad for 99 bucks. It was definitely worth it. If I had the money, I'd get an Asus transformer.

It looks nice, but Im looking for something closer to the 120-130 USD range.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Cyclone: let me know if you have any updates on your printer, that is the one I think i will get (though, might be hard to find, especially if you found it at a thrift store). There is no newer model of the HP LaserJet4m? or what would be the upgraded/newest...

Just a black/white. Hows that HP working for you? Clear text (going to be printing lots of that) and is it fast? Ahhh, I just looked at it, its a multifunction, which I like, but its takes cartridges like an ink jet. I would like the multi/function but not an ink jet. Those cartridges are...

No one? Bump please? Anxious college student with bday money soon
