    LSI 9265-8i and Norco Backplane Help

    I feel embarrassed asking what seems to be such a rudimentary question, but I can't seem to find what I need/want. I have a Norco 16-bay that has a SAS backplane with 4 SAS connectors (1 for each row of 4 hot-swap bays). I'm currently using two RAID cards, an Adaptec 5805 and the LSI card, that...

    Help with rack slides

    You're doing it right. For those rails, the only way (I think) to mount the ears is to have them in front of the post like you have it. By the way, I have the same rack and just installed the same rails like 5 minutes ago. Two things: 1. You can loosen the two nuts on the front piece that...

    Which 4POST rack? Tripp Lite or Star Tech

    I have this rack and I like it as well. It was easy to put together and sturdy. I picked up some casters from Home Depot and they work just fine.

    Critics Of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Blast New Film

    A lot of the negative reviews are probably created just to be contrarian; a lot of the positive reviews are probably from people who can't possibly dislike anything Star Wars. If I was in the 8-25 year old range, I probably would have liked it more than I did. I did like the movie, but I was...

    YouTube Star Buys $4.5M Home

    I didn't even know he was famous for playing Minecraft, but when I looked at the picture of the house I thought to myself "that looks like something my nephew could build in Minecraft." Fits perfect.

    Corsair Hydro Series VGA Cooling Lucky Draw

    1. I would consider it. 2. Yes if it's not considerably more expensive then buying the two separately, and I'd like for it to be re-usable on future cards. Thanks for doing this.

    Small and low power ESXi 5.0/5.1 whitebox server

    I just wanted to quickly chime-in and make sure you know that that case is not really "small." I have two of them, and they are great cases, but to look at them in person you might mistake them for mid-towers. Again, great cases, but just make sure they are the size you want. They are bigger...

    Be care I just got a call my system has been hacked.

    My father received a similar call about a month ago. Luckily, I happened to be there and he handed me the phone. The guy on the phone identified himself as "Jack Cooper" with a thick accent and said he worked for "Windows." I asked "Where are you calling from 'Jack'?" and he replied "Denver. I...

    Gaming Board from Supermicro

    IPMI allows you to connect to the machine remotely while it's powered off (plugged in) or before the operating system loads so you can get into the BIOS, SCSI settings, etc. It's like you are at the console as opposed to something like Remote Desktop or VNC which requires an operating system to...

    Building my first box (must be cheap, small, quiet): some general questions

    Think about a slight upgrade to an E3 1230 V2 as it supports hyper-threading where the 1220 does not. This will give you more "CPUs" to play with.

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire Bundle Lucky Draw

    I love AMD/ATI and have been using their cards for the last 12 years, the same amount of time I've devoted my life to my job...which just laid me off about an hour ago. Nothing lasts forever...except of course the great price/performance ratio of AMD cards. :D

    help with laptop hooked up to lcd monitor

    Maybe set it up to span your desktop across the two screens and open what you want the customers to see full-screen on the monitor? You can use the laptop screen as your primary display, and unless you drag something to the other screen they won't see it.

    Dell ultrasharp PLP, worth it?

    I guess I should say that PLP gaming wouldn't be a reason for me to go 20-30-20. I do love gaming on the center 30". For work, I do a lot of side-by-side code comparison and I'd probably be happier with a PPP set-up of some sort. Next time, I'll probably go with a largish 120Hz monitor for...

    Games that can never be made again because of difficulty

    I'm tempted to agree with this, but I think it's a tad bit unfair. When EQ was around there wasn't near the competition. For a long while, there were really only four or five choices when it came to MMORPGs; now, there are tons PLUS there are consoles that help proliferate the short attention...

    SSD Caching on Z68

    From what I've read, setting SATA mode to RAID will function the same as AHCI for single drives; however, you don't want to just change it in BIOS after the O/S is installed; you'll most likely get a blue screen when you reboot. To change it, I believe it's a registry change first, then a reboot...
