I just built a new SB setup with a 2600k/ASUS P8P67-M Pro in a Lian Li PC-A04. I had a spare Megahalem which does not fit (duh). Trying to find coolers < ~154mm tall is turning out to be a little challenging. Looking for something a little quiet esp with pwm. Trying to decide between...

my Q6600 is now 3 years old, looking to upgrade. Right now running: Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz, 8GB RAM, GTX 260, Intel 80GB SSD, Abit P35 on dual Dell 2408 (game on one, usually at 1650x1050 or whatever the nearest 16:10 res is) Looking to go native or at least get rid of the stutter I am seeing in...

Has anyone run 32GB on Sandy Bridge? Running an overclocked i7 920 with 24GB ram @ 1600. Need at least that so 4GB DIMMS won't cut it--only gets me to 16GB. Also, I've heard that "you don't need 1600" for SB but haven't seen any reason why. My application is RAM speed sensitive. Tested...

I have two items: Areca ARC-1680LP $500 Supermicro Superchassis 847E1-R1400UB with LPB & rails $1200 Prices not firm. Will ship the RAID card, but not the case. Can meet / deliver to Bay Area.

Built a 4TB RAID6 (4x2TB Hitachi) array off this card through an expander in 040:47:14. Seems like an awfully long time. I didn't take notes, but I think I built the same config off a SFF8087->SATA cable in about 12-15 hours. Does anyone else have a data point to verify that 40 hours seems...

I have a Seagate 1TB drive which has a bunch (100) of reallocated sectors (before we stopped using it), but seatools thinks it is swell. I don't trust the drive at all anymore, so I want to increase the reallocated count so I can get an RMA. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Is it possible to do this with $10k? I need about 24TB for storage of recorded data, and about another 24TB to play with the data. I have used linux software raid for a number of years. Hardware raid sounds more attractive in this build, but I don't think it could be in budget. Anyone...

This is for my mdadm software raid5 under ubuntu (so I can't use the cheaper AOC-SASLP-MV8), the HP RR 2680 is on sale (145, which is 125$ off). This card is supposedly well supported under ubuntu, but anyone know any reasons not to pull the trigger? link...

I do WIN+E to start explorer (if it matters) and I want the Favorites Link on the left (navigation) pane to start "maximized" so that it looks like it does when you click on the "folders" title and it "minimizes" the pane. Even better if it's possible to make the button switch between favorite...

has anyone seen one that fits the ipod with a case? incase recently released a slider case to access the dock properly and there is an extender that does it too, but I just want a 50c piece of plastic to fit properly.. anyone seen this from a third party? I have the normal incase silicone...

Is it possible to stop a reshape (N->N+1 disks) to shutdown and then reboot and resume? Has anyone done this successfully? I haven't managed to find any information on this.

Running Vista 64 Ultimate on a 8800gts. Whenever I start Internet Explorer (for netflix watch it now) as soon as IE launches the task bar transparency goes away. Does anyone else experience this? Notes: * Running two monitors, launching on either monitor does the same thing. * Ultramon is...

Doing some simulations for my graduate research and I am in need of a couple more machines to run it on. Currently running on a 3.2Ghz P4 w/ 3GB ram takes 18 hours. I need to be able to run faster than this and with multiple inputs.. so I need some extra computers. It's a single threaded app...

I need some suggestions for a new PSU since I have been out of the loop for a long time. I did the online power calculator thing and it suggests I need a 478W+ PSU.. but I am concerned that will not be enough. Right now I am running a 450W PSU with 3 SATA drives, DVD-RW, Opteron 165, AGP...

I have a working socket a mother board if anyone wants it. A few dollars for shipping or some DDR RAM for my folding box would be nice, but not required. I have used this board for abut 3 years and it still works fine. The Northbridge (or maybe Southbridge) fan is clogged with dust and...
