I have 2 Apple Mac Mini's. One is mid 2011, I3 and 8 GB Ram. The is other one is a 2012 with an I5 and 4Gb of Ram. I use bootcamp on both and installed WHS 2011 on one and using (attempting to use) the other as a web server. Now individually everything is fine. Extremely happy with WHS 2011...

I have a small home network that employs WHS2011. I own a Microsoft Surface RT. I stream ALL my media from my WHS over gigabit, nothing is stored local on my client peripherals and pc's. My chic and me like to stream movies (stored on the WHS) on our tablets...like everyone else I guess...

Playing through Torchlight II again with the Embermage (first play through was with the Outlander), and I noticed something.... Is it me or is the very first skill tree spell - the default spell Magma Spear - the most powerful skill in the game for the Embermage?? I have built the Magma...

When I first bought my dSLR I always wanted to know how to take those cool shots that has the sharply focused foreground and the nice blurred background. After a few years of slowly learning what it takes to take a real picture.. hint: it's not in automatic mode! Anyway... tell me what you guys...

Ok, I need a NAS storage solution. I DO NOT want to build anything... no FreesNas, ZFS, etc... I need small footprint, networked, aesthetic, and QUIET. I also need 4/5 bays, RAIDED, and decent speed across the network. I will be backing up multimedia, computers and occasionally streaming a...

There's too many damn printer choices out there. Need to replace my aging Brother inkjet printer. Have been reading and researching for quite a while now.. but just can't narrow it down. 1. I need NICE print quality... "near" professional quality, for printing brochures and marketing quality...

Need to migrate my previous RAID 0 & RAID 5 array to a new motherboard. Old motherboard died on me. RAID 0 - OS RAID 5 - storage and stuff on a RocketRaid 2310 PCI-e 4x The new motherboard does NOT have a PCI-e 4x slot... however it has 3 PCI-e 16x slots. It says that it can be...

Just as the title says. Don't know much about this tablet but it seems... normal. However, people are buying ebayed post fire sale Touchpads at around this price... LINK Buy.com

Nothing fancy this time folks. My Supermicro H8DCE-O dual processor finally quit on me. At least I think it did... it won't post anymore. I consider myself quite fortunate to have had absolute ZERO problems with my setup for these years.. but now with the death of my mobo its time to move on...

What are you using more to animate your web pages? I'm talking menu animation, mouse over effects, banner slideshow headers, photo galleries....etc I spent a GREAT deal of time learning Flash and ActionScript 3.0, I can cook up some nice stuff. I started there because Flash seemed to be the...

So, how do you think they'll do? I've had Z-5500's for about 5 years now and they still sound nice for what I use them for. However, I know damn well the Z-5500's weren't supposed to be around this long. Popularity kept them in production I believe. Hope the development cycle for the next gen...

Is everyone trying to fill the void Voodoo PC left? I guess all it takes is a few well photoshopped graphics, naming scheme and images along with a dark theme to sell boutique PC's these days. Had never heard of these guys. LINK Not knocking this builder but they look identical to Origin...

..fade my tabbed panels content in when clicked. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and using the feature "Spry Tabbed Panels" to insert a tabbed panel into my little site. When you click on a tab it instantly goes to the next tab. Basic stuff...reeeaalllyyy basic stuff. It works but I hate it...

Never played this. Been wondering about it for a bit. Its a weekend deal, so might be a good time to pick it up. How is this game anyway? Heard good stuff about it. Assault on Dark Athena. Forgot the link... :o http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/9860/

I read this statement a lot on these forums... yet so many people use it. According to this, the only true "backups" are discs(which can get damaged), offsite(pay subscription) and true tape drives(super expensive). What's your "backup" solution since RAID is not/should not be one.

Not too shabby for this drive... LINK In for 2 more of the 4 I already have...

Doing a small "practice" web site and I'm having a small problem with the sound. The music is embedded in a small Flash file I wrote with AS 3.0 that is designed to play when the web site is opened. The problem is that while the music starts up normally, I'm getting some sort of "2nd loop"...

I'm admittedly a noob at this... My chic likes this slots game she bought (Reel Deel Slots)... and just HAS to play it on my notebook (Dell V13) when she's lounging around. :mad: The problem is that my V13 has no optical drive and the game requires the disk to be inserted to play it. I...

Sort of a newb with photoshop. I'm using the old Photoshop CS4, and I'm simply trying to take a photo-- cut it out nicely- and place it on top of another image (web building project). No matter what I do or how clean the edges are, I can't keep the damn thing from "LOOKING" like I simply...

I'm currently in the market for an external 4-5 bay RAID 5 storage box. I like the features of the Lian-Li and plus it matches my V1200b perfectly, plus it's a bit more economical. I simply have not heard much about it. The Drobo I heard can be hit or miss and a little slow but I'm not...

Interested in building an Untangle box and have been reading everything I can find about it. I want a setup that has low power, quiet, small footprint and good aesthetics so this is what I've come up with: This motherboard This case The case is small and elegant but has no active...

I like to listen to music on my main rig ... I like playing games on my main rig and I mostly use headphones. Soundcards are good for games...DAC's are good for music... how about about a single solution for both. Combine a decent EAX soundcard and a nice DAC/Amp? Or will a DAC/Amp make...

Finally got around to doing some small upgrades to my aging workstation and for pure amusement I wanted to add a RAID 5 array with some left over hard drives I had lying around from some previous builds. I set up to 2 300Gb Velociraptors RAID 0 for my OS with my Supermicro onboard RAID. Was...

Business friend of mine gave me one her old Adobe Web Premium CS4 suites. It has Dreamweaver CS4, Flash CS4, and Photoshop CS4. Her partners are now using CS5. I don't mind that its older software but seems like a good place to learn. I've heard much about Wordpress.. since its free...

Looking for some great high end /hi-res photos and wallpapers suitable for brochures, websites and the like. Sure its easy to google around and luck up and find some half-ass decent shots, but nothing that I've come across is the quality and diversity of the stills found on shutterstock.com...

Looking for a good IDE 2.5 HDD in good working condition for an aging notebook. 40-60Gb preferably and not looking to spend any more than $29.00 shipped to FL. Can pay immediately.

I use media browser in mce 7..works great. There is a slight bug I'm hoping some one has a solution for. There are 2 movies in my collection that when launched in mediabrowser, I get sound but no video. The funny thing is that they play well when launched in WMP... and when I launch them from...

Setting up a small LAN and Cam/Dvr server for a small business for a friend of mine. Done this many many times.... However the stupid modem/switch Comcast gave him is a pain for port forwarding and connecting to externally... The Skinny.. He needs to be able to observe his cameras (all...

Title says it mostly... I use mediabrowser within MCE/7 with Chocolate Theme as the GUI for my movie watching. Looks great, feels great, great metadata..etc.. We all know MCE/7 doesn't play all formats, so I use VLC as an external player that launches automatically for certain file types...

Recently captured some video from a VHS source so I can make a few DVD's. To make a long story short the video individual rips are over 9GB's and I need a program to shrink them down to about 2Gb without losing too much quality. Any good free programs out there that will help me?

Heard some good stuff about this set. Tired of "gamer" headsets. Anyone knows how these stack up? LINK

Software or hardware RAID card needed. It HAS to be pci-e x4 with at least 4 sata ports that is capable of RAID 5. PM me with a good card at a good price and make yourself some money. :D

Pondering controlling my CPU fans with a fan controller on my new air cooled build. Is it more beneficial to let the motherboard control the fans or set the fan rpm's myself with a fan controller. I'll be using 2 Zalman 9500's and an AquaComputer Aquaero. The Zalmans come with an inline fan...

OK, I have an older Compaq Presario Notebook that needs some TLC. ****PLEASE READ**** This notebook either needs to be repaired or parted out. For some reason it will not boot past the BIOS. But it WILL boot INTO the BIOS (see pics). I really feel it can be repaired and fully functional...

I'm a sucker for dual CPU boards. My last 2 builds were dual CPU. :D But this board is just beastly! Supports quad SLI/CrossfireX and dual 6-core Xenons. Now I just need to find a case to fit the damn thing. :mad: LINK
