Hey guys, was curious about experiences people had had regarding RMAing their Antec PSUs recently. I submitted a ticket on the 3rd of December, and aside from the automated confirmation I have heard nothing back from them. Further emails and comments just queue up in their web based system to...

At work, we have an ESXi 3.5 blade environment connected to a NetApp SAN. We recently determined during setup that despite there being 4 NICs dedicated to NFS, only one NIC was actually being used by a particular host because we had set the load balance to "Route based on IP Hash". Because all...

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of only 10 (approximately) D945GCLFs in New Zealand at the moment and I thought I'd share some of the stuff I'd learned about it for the advantage of others. Firstly, pictures: Is the board itself, without this fan: which happens to be one...

I'd value some input on the following server I am in the process of buying/building. It is destined to replace my aging Athlon 2500+ VMWare box and thoroughly bring it into the present. I hope to virtualise a large proportion of my network as well as provide a place for me to use for...

Dell has finally made the 2407WFP-HC somewhat available in New Zealand and I am really tempted by it as an upgrade from my aging Samsung 172X - given it still works fine and does an decent job in gaming I'm not too concerned about timing, however am ready to upgrade as I've recently started a...

I'm looking to move from a single 320GB drive to a RAID1 setup, just for the extra bit of security regarding my data (I appreciate it isn't a complete backup solution and all that). Given my files are already on the first 320GB drive, will I have to back everything up to another drive to...

Having a curious problem with a printer I picked up (an HP OfficeJet 5610) recently for the odd print jobs around here. Installed drivers from the CD (kinda wish I hadn't and used the corporates, but oh well...) and have found a really strange problem - when printing from a word document, all...

I posted a while back some basic plans to build a file server, and my intentions have since firmed up somewhat [details aren't important]. What I want to finalize however, is how I'm going to implement RAID5. There are three options for me as I see it (corresponding to the poll): Software...

I recently moved my Smoothwall machine (700MHz Celeron, 384MB SDRAM on an ASUS CUW-RM) to the Server 2003 trial to see what the otherside was like. Being pretty impressed, I decided to keep it for the full 180 days of the trial but have discovered some issues. Namely, bluescreening. At...

Hey guys, recently picked up a 3000+ Venice, 512MB of generic RAM and a GA-K8N51GMF-9 (one of the 10 in the world that powers on correctly) and was just curious if anyone had any experience with how the chipset (nForce 430) does with RAID. I'm planning to get 4 ~250GB drives in RAID5 to act as a...
