I am currently spec'ing out the same kind of setup. My rig will be similar to TJ's above. As of right now I am going to try the all-in-one ESXi/OpenIndiana VM route. So far I am looking at the following: Mobo: Supermicro X10SL7-F (mainly for the built-in SAS controller, appears to be easily...

I plan to reuse one of the PSUs I already have which include a PC Power and Cooling S61EPS 610W (most likely) or one of a few Corsair models I have around.

The ASUS board supports ECC memory so I figured I would use it, and also I am not buying it from Newegg it was just easy to link the description (Provantage has it for less). The 500GB drives are just for hosting VMs so I don't really need 2TB drives.

I just wanted some more eyes to have a look at the specs of the ZFS server I'll be assembling soon to make sure I am not missing something. This will be used for general home data storage and iSCSI target for a soon-to-be ESXi box: Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3...

It should be Nom Nom.......Nom

Added an 8800GT and a 9800GT 102

Hi all, I too received my new gear yesterday comprised of the following: Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P CPU: Q6600 RAM: 4x2GB G.Skill PC2-8500 Cooler: Xigmatek HDT-S1283 PSU: Corsair 750TX Video: EVGA 9800GT HD: WD 150GB Velociraptor I managed to get it mostly assembled last night (I had to...

This place http://www.starmicro.net has some socket A CPUs.

Just installed WHS the other night. I changed over from W2K Adv. Server. Mine is running on the Opty 148 in my sig with 1GB RAM and about 2TB of storage capacity at the moment(I have room for three more drives). It is rack mounted in a Norco 4u case. I plan to run the MyMovies server on it...

I think I am going to upgrade one last time. I have two dual Xeon AGP rigs(ASUS PC-DL and PCH-DL). The PC-DL currently has an FX5700 in it, so the upgrade to a 3850 should be substantial. I am going to leave the PCH-DL alone. It is doing fine with a 7800GS.

Well my VMs won't be doing much heavy lifting. They will mostly be various Linux distros, OpenSolaris, or whatever OS I feel like tinkering with. I am just going to go the most cost efficient route at this time. Based on my usage it doesn't sound like I need to be too concerned with...

Hi, I am building a new workstation based on a Supermicro H8DCi motherboard and dual Opteron 275s. The machine will have 8GB RAM, and I plan to run 64 bit Vista Ultimate as the OS. I will be using VMWare Workstation 6.5 for VM duties. I will be running 4 to 6 VMs (need to thin the herd in my...

Download the manual on the first page of this thread. In there you will find a timing specification page which details timings that are designed for this monitor. That's not to say that other non-specified timings won't work. If you can find one that looks nice using Powerstrip or another...

I just picked up my second FW900 (HP version) for $100. It's in excellent condition...not a blemish on the screen and the case has a couple minor scuffs and I do mean minor. I happened to see it on craigslist, so I went and looked at it. This one is going to sit on a shelf in my basement...

The Deck does not use buckling springs, however, I am typing on my Legend right now and it is the best keyboard I have owned. The keys have a definite "weight" to them and a nice tactile feel. Took a bit of getting used to after my mushy(in comparison) Logitech keyboards. After using it for a...

I would buy a cable from these guys. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/dvi-cables/index.htm Look at the DVI to Analog section towards the bottom. I have a 25 ft component video cable from these guys and the quality is top notch. I also have a FW900 but I don't use the BNC connections, so I...

You should check out the Galant from Ikea. Very modular so you can design it to fit your space. I needed a very sturdy corner desk in order to hold my 96 lb CRT monitor (Sony GDM-FW900), and the Galant fit the bill nicely. Very well built (I have the T-leg model). I could easily add another...

I've got two perfectly good dual Xeon machines (see sig) one of which is running at 3.4GHz which would be a perfect fit for one of these cards. Do I need it? Certainly not. Would I like one? Sure, why not? They will make really nice XP boxes that I can game on if I so choose. Kudos to ATI...

I wouldn't mind putting one in either of my Dual Xeon boxes (PC-DL and PCH-DL). If the price is right I probably will.

What the cheapest legal way of getting a copy of ESX for home use?

All is well. All I needed was a press of the Reset button on the front monitor panel. I never thought to use it before as I have never needed it. It did the trick along with some dimensional fine tuning. Way to over think a simple fix, eh? Thanks for the responses, all. Happy holidays.

That is strange. 1920x1200 is available to me, but my screen is squished from the sides-inward. I am at a loss.

Using VGA.

Can anyone who is using the Sony branded FW900 post a copy of the EDID file (can extract using ViewSonic's EDID Editor). I need to compare it to my HP A7217A EDID. The .dat file would be great so I can load into EDID Editor. Why? I am having trouble getting 1920x1200@85Hz to work under...

I did the expedited shipping as well.

Thought it was about time I officially joined...see sig for specs.

Update: Ordered this morning...just got a UPS tracking number via email...nice.

Just pulled the trigger on one myself. $265 with expedited shipping and tax.

Dibs on 2 of the SATAs. YGPM

1. Finally retire my AthlonXP 2500 Barton system. 2. Phenom

How bout a delta: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/de80ef2.html They are a bit loud but undervolted they should be nice and quiet. I have two 80x25 deltas in my PC-DL case running at 5 or 7V and I can hardly hear them. They still move quite a bit of air. Just an option. Nice work btw...

Pulled the trigger on the EVGA Superclocked version yesterday at about 11:00AM EDT from Mwave. Canceled the order today when I called to verify shipment and was told they were out of stock. I'll wait a bit till the prices drop and go with the Egg as always. Live and learn.

Thanks guys. I'll swap the cable when I get home and if that doesn't fix it I'll try updating the driver.

I have a four machines connected to a Netgear GS608 gigabit switch via Cat 6 cable. Three of them have Intel Pro/1000 nics and one is using an onboard gig nic. The Intel nic in my server will not connect at 1Gbps, according to both the Windows XP networking status tool and the included Intel...

Just got back folding after a bit of time off. Added the comps in the sig recently except the Xeons which will be coming on-line this week and the Barton which is not running right now. 886-6 = 880
