Hi guys, Just a quick question: In your opinion which would be the one to buy? Both from the same reputable retailer. The SM961 being the OEM equivalent of the 960 Pro should offer significantly more performance over the 960 EVO. However the EVO should have a better warranty and easier to...

I am rebuilding my home lab and i was thinking about consolidating all my servers + network gear into a rack. The rack will be installed into an apartment room so space is at a premium. Height is not an issue, even a 42U would be fine Width again probably not an issue a 600mm will...

I am in the process of rebuilding my home lab and I was wondering if it is worth it to use a fast NVME M.2 SSD for a ESXi 6 home lab (something like a Samsung 950 pro) I will probably be using a i7 6700 as cpu with 32-64 GB of ram (depending on final budget) Will the increase in IO give me...

Hi guys, Background: I am currently helping a dentist friend set up his IT infrastructure. Current layout is: 2 dentist offices + patient waiting room + dental assistant/secretary office. All this is attached to a medium size 3 story house. This is how I currently plan to set up his...

Due to a job location change it seems I will be forced to commute quite a bit. So far I do plan to buy a surface pro 4 + a 4G modem for the VPN connection (I am thinking this would will give me the best power/weigh ratio ;) ). Unfortunately along the way 4G coverage is very spotty (on my note...

I just saw that Synology just released a new diskstation the DS716+ https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS716+ and it seems to have the option to use Btrfs, I did not follow the development of Btrfs too closely and I had the impression it was not mature enough yet to be production...

This is unbelievable: http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/19/lenovo-superfish-adware-preinstalled/ I think I will just say no to that X1 carbon I was planning to buy. As a big fan of thinkpads this pisses me off incredibly. :(

I want to upgrade my current set of cans: Senn 555 with the 595 "mod" I was initially set on a pair of Senn HD650 (~300 EUR) since you simply cannot go wrong with them, however while browsing I noticed the HD700 dropped in price to about 500 EUR and now I wonder if it would be worth it to...

Looks like Genelec just put out a new 3 way speaker: http://www.genelec.com/products/8351a/ Looks like It's trippin on acid ... cannot figure out where the woofer is (guess this is why they call it concealed ;) ) Unfortunately it will probably cost a fortune :(

Hi guys, Perhaps you can help me with this, I just copied some photos from a nexus 5 onto my PC (drag and drop). Now I just want to copy those photos onto my mom's iPad (version 7.1.1) It seems it will not allow me to do a drag and drop, so I installed iTunes but It warns me that if I do a...

Just found RCF Mytho 8 at a good price (600 eur a piece) so I'm quite tempted to pick up a pair. Even at half price they are not that cheap and I was wondering if anyone has any info on them. For some reason I could not find many reviews of them.

For a while I have been intrigued by those speakers. The theory behind them sounds quite good. http://www.seelectronics.com/se-munro-egg-150 Here are some reviews: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan12/articles/seegg150.htm...

I just noticed that ASUS updated their sound cards (my apologies if there is already a thread about this) they come in two flavors: http://rog.asus.com/307922014/news/asus-essence-stx-ii-and-essence-stx-ii-7-1-hi-fi-grade-sound-launches/ I really wonder how they stack against the ZXr

What do you guys think of this: http://nadelectronics.com/products/digital-music/D-1050-USB-DAC since my ZxR had issues I returned it to the store to replace it. They did not have any other in store I got store credit. Now I'm debating it to try a standalone DAC/preamp/headPhone amp like the...

Just bought a ZxR about 2 weeks ago (really like it). Problem is since yesterday the headphones output stopped working (tried it with 2 headphones directly plugged in). The speakers output still works just fine. When I use the software switch (speakers/headphones) I hear a click - I...

I’m building a home theater from scratch and I just cannot decide what would be the best approach. (Estimated usage will be split evenly music/movies). I’ll be starting off with a 2.0 setup and probably adding at a later time surrounds/center and a sub if needed. My expectations would be...

Hi guys, i was wondering if you could give your opinion on an issue we are having. We have a cluster of 3 ESXi 5.1 hosts on a blade system HP gen8. I set up a vdswitch to give us easier centralized management of networking and allow us to use pVLANs. all hosts are now part of the switch...

Quick question: Would a plain 7970 would be worth ~60 USD premium over the OC 7950 at 950 MHz? 7970 http://www.alfacomp.cz/php/product.php?eid=10514007K0BV8V21H53 7950 http://www.alfacomp.cz/php/product.php?eid=10514007K0BV91D1QL0 I'm living as an expat right now in the Czech...

Hi guys, Has anyone here used the Win32_product class to list installed software from remote computers or used its methods like Uninstall() ? It seems that Microsoft advises against using this class: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974524 I found some alternatives here...

If you guys could help me with this i would appreciate. Some files were deleted from a folder in a windows 2003 R2 server. The problem is that this server is running on top of a ESX virtual machine. No snapshots and/or VMDK backups are available. Is there any way to recover those deleted...

I was wondering what would be the best way to find out what version of apache a webserver is running either though some external scan (perhaps some open source or trial version scanner you guys might recommend) or through a local script since we have have ftp access to the site on it. There are...

Well I need some new headphones for my computer (X-FI Platinum), old headphones got crushed in a moment of distraction:(. Originally I was leaning towards an open air headphone since they are generally considered to have a better sound stage, however I'm worried that they leak too much sound...

I was wondering if you guys can check on the back your 3007WFPs purchased in the US if they support 100 to 240 VAC / 50 to 60 Hz like most of the other dell monitors, so I'll know if they work in Europe too. Unfortunately they do not display this information on the Dell website.

I would like to ask a few questions for the ones of you that have experience with the 3007WFP 30" from dell: Are they known to have any banding issues in gradients? I'm also upgrading from a 2405FPW will I lose anything in the change beside the extra cash (I would hate to pay more for a...

Well in my last thread I reached the conclusion that the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe will not suit my needs due the problems of running heatpipes upside down. Therefore it seems that the A8R32-MVP would be the better choice for me, it's based on the ATI R580 chipset and the ULi M1575 south bridge...

I have a quick question about the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe. I plan to purchase one to replace my DFI (mainly to get rid of that annoying chipset fan). http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=744&l1=3&l2=15&l3=226 Anyway my dilemma is: I have a Lian Li V1000 case which sports a...
