I am looking at moving to a Synology, the poor N54L is starting to show her age.

I have a node 804 now that is just massive. What is the smallest matx case I can get that will also work work with a h60. I do not have about drive bays or any extra space.

Does this mean I could use a ASRock Z97 Anniversary in a mini itx case?

I have a ASRock H97M WS and want to use the PCIE6 (PCIE 3.0 x16 slot) to install a M5015 raid controller. When I plug it in I do not think the system is picking up the controller. Any thoughts?

PM a price for the board

I love my Asus AC1900.

If you don't need Poe I really like the HP procurves. You can get a 16-24 port gig L3 switch for really reasonable prices.

While researching found out about T-Mobile gives away a branded asus AC68UT. Picked one up yesterday, it was only a $25 deposit! Hitting 190-210 Mbps on wireless. Thanks about the Dlink was about to pull the trigger.

I was using Comcast 75/15 EdgeRouter X Meraki MR18 Meraki 8 port switch Just replaced it with RCN 155/15 T-Mobile branded RTAC68U Meraki 8 port switch https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CTzGuAGUsAApFY2.jpg:large Cannot speak highly enough about the RTAC68U! Getting 190-205 down on wifi

I would just sell the aluminum. No offense but the craftsmanship is not there and there is no point of the case to begin with. If you are dying to make a case why not use a 3d printer? Even if you do not own one you can make the design and pay the 15-30 to have it printed for you.

What about the wireless throughput? That's my main concern with it being AC 1200 instead 1750. Also think I would get the B1 if I order through Amazon or do I need to hit Best Buy to confirm?

Is the DLink better than the Archer C7? The router board looks like a little too much work. I cannot find a case or even people building it as guides.

I make a bare base images with only updates by OS (i.e. Win 7, 8, 10) with a VM. Take a snapshot then copy the machine as a image using SysPrep then roll the vm back to the snapshot after. Then inject drivers while imaging. You create driver packs that MDT looks at the bios and loads to...

Just upgraded to 155Mpbs internet at home and my MR18 is struggling to do over 80. Looking for something to replace it with. Prefer a router/wifi combo not just a wap unless it is that good.

I need to add some more capacity to my lab as my 2 nucs are falling short. I have some spare parts and was thinking of building a new white box What I have: H55 cooler 550w psu 32gb ddr3 ballistix sport fractal 804 Intel Quad port nic What I am thinking of picking up ASRock H97m Pro...

I would prefer not to use supermicro. I am trying to avoid ECC, I have 32gb of non ecc udimms

Looking for a solid mATX LGA 1155 motherboard that supports a xeon. Had a supermicro die recently and need a replacment. The chip is a E3-1230v2

Its a Cisco 3850

They are both virtual on the host. They sit on the default vlan on the VM Network.

I am building a new vSphere 6 environment at work. I have a single esxi 6u1 host running right now ( getting ready to add more blades) and am trying to install vCenter but hitting some dns issues. The layout is: Esxi 6u1 host vSwitch - 2 port groups VM Network and Mgmt_Prod 4 VM's...

Thanks for the input. Pulled the trigger on a XFX 550, not to figure out cleaning up the cables.

How about something like a nuc or a matx supermicro build?

When I looked at some builds on here those seemed popular. I have used corsairs a few times over the years. Should I look at something else? I'm open looking for a solid psu under$75

Building a new server for my homelab and could use some help as its been a while since I have build a rig. So far I am using Xeon E3-1230v2 Corsair H55 cooler Supermicro matx mobo 32gb ram (4x8GB ddr3) 2x 240GB SSD 4 port nic I was looking at the Corsair CX500M, XFX TS 550w, or EVGA 500 W1...

At work we are evaluating some vm monitoring tools and really want a feature that incorporates right sizing. We currently are on vSphere 5 but will be on vSphere 6. We use Solarwinds for monitoring currently. We have 10 hosts with 80 vm's. I was eyeballing veaam and solarwinds but looking...

I would ho HP, get a used procurve on ebay and be done with it.

I would go 250GB SSD - Partition C & D drives (C: OS only) 2x 2-4TB drive in raid 1 Backup your SSD to your raid 1 large drive that also holds your data.

Have you thought about apple for wireless? They make great devices. Use a Airport Extreme connected to your modem. Then go as far as you have a decent signal and drop a Airport express (wireless bridge) that will extend your wireless signal.

M5015 in a N54L. I carved 400GB off my raid 5 array for vm's using iSCSI with Starwind. The 400GB drive also has a ssd cache of 128GB with PrimoCache. The VM hosts (2x intel nucs) also have a ssd for caching. So far it works pretty well and I can do HA.

I am experiencing issues with my N54L it keeps randomly turning off with just the power button flashing yellow. Currently the system is: N54L 8GB ram 128 gb SSD on the 1 open sata port for OS (windows 8.1) M5015 raid card 3x 2tb WD Red (port 1 on M5015) 2x 128GB SSD (on-borrd sas)...

I run a HP 1910 at home and really like it. Bought it on ebay for 85 shipped and put a quiet fan in it.

I was using usb sticks. But no luck. Finally found the right vib to load for a custom 5 install. net-e1000e-3.1.0.2-glr2-offline_bundle.zip that resolved the issue.

I need to setup a lab to work with 5.0 and test a upgrade to 5.5 Currently I am trying to install 5.0 on my 4th gen NUC (D54250WYKH) but keep running into an error on the install at 44% saying missing file esxi net-e100.v00 I used the esxi customizer to add the drivers to a 5.0 esxi...

With the 5th gen you cannot. They removed the mini pci-e slot.

I am more concerned with the not being able to add a second nic.

I am revamping my esxi home lab and want a low power, small, and quiet system. I was planning on the nuc's but with the 5th gen I see you cannot add a 2nd nic and have to use a m2 drive. When doing some searches I found the shuttle ds81 that allows you to add your own processor (thinking i5 4590...

I am looking for a simple Nat router. I have a switch and WAP that will be doing all of the grunt work for data transfer inside my network. Ended up getting a refurb EA6300 for $35 shipped.

What about the TL-WDR4300? The Edgerouter Lite seems nice but overkill for what I need and I don't seee the value at $100.

Not using any old systems. I want quiet and low power. Tossed my old gear and want quiet and low power bills.

Looking for a cheap router. Currently I have a Meraki MR18 for wireless and a HP 1910 switch. Looking for a basic device for between my modem and switch for NAT. My internet is a 50mb connection from Comcast. Any suggestions are welcome.
