I have an aging Highpoint 4320 with the HP SAS expander hooked up. I won the LSI 9341-8i at LAN. I can't find RAM amount on the LSI, but I am guessing on throughput alone the LSI can easily outperform the aging Highpoint. However, I can find no listing of tested expanders, nor verify if...

This is mainly a build log, since the project is all but done, and I didn't stop to take pictures of the boring old "look I drilled some holes!" My main gaming rig was still rockin' an H67 mobo with a 2500K and milking a 480GTX overclocked on watercooling. I was ready for a new set of...

I have a Norco SAS 20 bay, using X48 mobo still running Vista 64 with a Highpoint 4320 card linked to an HP expander. I want to switch over to a spare X58 motherboard, 920 CPU, and then stick Win7 64 on it. I am guessing I can just close down the Array in the GUI, shut down the PC, then...

just dropping a quick link that with lurking input from the group here I did finish up my custom ITX build. have a read here: http://dgephrimodblog.blogspot.com/ Mods: it's sort of a build log, but the pictures and benchmarks might help others going SFF/ITX to gauge their options.

current setup is: Norco 4220 with 120mm Fan mod (my own) 8X1TB Hitachi 64Mb cache Deskstars (4X 1st gen, 4X last year purchase) 1XHighpoint 4320 RocketRAID 1XHP SAS expander from Synergy, SAS cabling running off MSI X48 mobo with ATI 4550 GPU (waiting to go 3D soon) My RAID...

when I purchased my Case and RAID card, I planned on getting a Chenbro SAS expander later on. Lately, that seems like it won't be happening. What are my best alternatives given my 4320 SAS raid card and compatibility questions? is one of the HPs going to work ok? Anybody else with...

you read it correctly, an Antec 900 Small Form Factor. Sitting about 90% complete with a couple technical issues, but here is the start of it back in March 2008. Pasting from the other boards I frequent, but it will catch you up as well. All this was almost cancelled when I saw...

For those that haven't seen the logs yet: http://www.themodnation-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=2113&highlight= and mirrored over at the Manufacturer of the case. http://www.pcdesignlab.com/smf/index.php?topic=281.0 Should be pretty cool, I don't think I've ever seen Bill go SFF.

FYI, just announced: http://www.pdxlan.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1954&highlight= who else from [H] is coming?

Due to several PMs wondering what settings I have used, I took some BIOS shots a couple weeks ago, and decided I better follow up on some more recent PMs. Those with the "SE" version of the board might have different behavior, I have the Rev2.0 that I received in RMA from Asus thinking the...

I sent this to the news addy, but didn't see anybody posting it...so here goes: http://pdxlan.net/website/CPUmag/ "Computer Power User magazine in partnership with PDXLAN is pleased to announce the very first "West Coast Mad Reader MOD Challenge!" PDXLAN 9 - Feb 16-19 2007, Portland...

well, it's all up and running, except for a buggy thing on the onboard video during startup: if I don't have VGA hooked up, I get nothing during Post almost until Windows Desktop on the DVI cable. So I have a VGA on the integrated video, and a DVI on my GX2, and I have to fiddle with which...

in the next 30-45 days I will need to decide on what is going into my case BloodMoon. My consideration list: Conroe (or AM2 if no decent Conroe mATX is available by September 1st) mATX -prefer Asus in ATX, but their support/BIOS has left me wanting this time around. I already have 4X512Meg...

I decided to get my hands on a Qmicra when they first sold the Case by itself. Managed one of the first Black ones, with red hardware. I worked in Sketchup (thank you GoogleSketchup) for a quite a bit to do some space planning, and get my cutting layout so I like the look of it: I ended...

anyone had/used/played with one of these? http://www.3dconnexion.com/docs/18_SpacePilotDS.pdf I was just browing Logitech to see new/E3 stuff, since I have a connection there. I might actually be able to get one of these "gratis" but I am curious about it functional potential from a user...

Buddy wants a system, and sent my this preliminary list, I have yet to price, but money isn't too much of a problem for him. Likely I will receive shipment, assembly, wire, install, anti-virus, firewall, update, then ship to him. "CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ RAM: Corsair TwinX2048-...

With all the Yonah, Merom (sp?) and previously Conroe stuff, I just wanted to feel out the [H] crowd on what direction might be best in the coming months. I currently have: P4 3.73EE-single core, HT 2MB cache @ 1066fsb 4X512Mg Corsair XMS DDR2 @675 7800GTX OC 512Meg @ 625/1.83 P5N32-SLI...

Won this at PDXLAN for the first place CustomCase Contest-hate selling prizes/or raffle stuff, but I already own a 512Meg, so this GTX won't help me SLI my rig. Original packaging, only opened to verify contents. T-shirt, slickpads, etc. No Games in this bundle, exactly as seen here: BFG...

so, I won top prize in the custom case contest at PDXLAN, and I hate to get rid of sponsor/prizes, but I won a 7800GTX 256Meg BFG OC version. Won't SLI with my 512Meg version (at least, I don't think so, very unlikely, risky to try). I know the 512Meg OCs are hard to come by, but I know...

a little late in the construction, I've had a log at Gville for a while...thought I would see what you [H]ers thought of it: This is just a direct paste of my lasted post The Hunt for the Loch Ness Moster nears completion! Today we have: Some Watercooling shots Some IR camera shots...
