Hi all -- Starting to plan my next file server build, and I want to do something a bit more elaborate than my current setup (which is basically a mid-tower case with 3 of the 3 5.25" to 5-3.5" bay converters, giving me a total of 15 drives). For the moment, I'm thinking of having a 4U...

Long story short, we had a server in a rack that was built a year+ back, and it didn't have enough room to put the SSDs for boot & cache in the hot-swap bays, so they were velcro'd to the top of the case (inside). It worked great, until it was time to decom the server and we forgot about the...

I've been following this forum (and in particular the monitor porn thread) for years now, and have always liked the look of the multi-monitor setups with debezeled monitors. My current setup consists of a bunch of DoubleSight monitors, both the DS-305W and DS-307W models. For those of you...

What I want is a software-based KVM package (similar to Synergy+ or Multiplicity) with the added feature of being able to move windows across platforms (so, something like Synergy+ with VNC built in, but perhaps with some additional logic). If memory serves, I've seen something like this in...

I'm trying to find something, maybe you've seen something like it... What I'd love to have is a small (12" - 14", 2ish or 3ish lbs) laptop with a fast processor (>= 4000 on cpubenchmark.net; 1000 or more per core), lots of memory (16GB+), an SSD (though I'd likely buy it with the cheapest HDD...

Decided to look into a full water cooled setup for my rig. Researching the various case / radiator / res / pump / etc. options has been an interesting endeavor, especially since I've never done a WC'd setup before. Now that I'm trying to build a parts list, the biggest problem I'm having is...

There are an overwhelming number of discussions on ESX(i), and similarly so for desktop-based products. Where are all of the Xen users? Have you used Remus to implement "RAID-1" VMs, or taken the next step and utilized this successfully over a lower-bandwidth WAN link? What were the...

Has anyone read about IPMI / AMT 8.0 support with the relatively new socket 2011 processors from Intel? I haven't been able to find anything definitive one way or the other. I'm getting ready to upgrade my basement lab, and this time around I'd like to have remote KVM access to all of my...

Does anyone know of any 2U rackmountable cases which would accommodate two micro-ATX motherboards and about 8 hot-swap 3.5" drives?

Ok... I'm looking at a dirty hack for a power supply to a Cisco catalyst switch. The existing PS is definitely broken (when disconnected from the switch motherboard, the PS trips the circuit breaker when plugged in almost immediately). Inside the case, the power supply connects to the...

I'm looking to build a simple entertainment / computing environment in our kitchen. The plan is to use one of our older laptops, mounted to the underside of a cabinet on a lazy-susan with a cable guide. From there, we're going to use a wireless keyboard / mouse (speaking of which, are there...

What motherboards exist for the 1366 socket that: 1) Have at least 3 x PCI-e x16 slots at x16, x8, x8 or better configuration, AND 2) Have two slots of spacing between each PCI-e slot rather than 1? The only boards I've found (so far) that do this are by ASRock. Here's one on newegg...

I recently acquired a pair of DS-305W monitors (long story; I'll share, but another time). From what I've read, they're likely either newer S-IPS, or H-IPS panels but I'm not sure how to determine which. The vendor says S-IPS, so I guess we can go with that. On to the problem... With a...
