    Automate Dell iDrac IP's

    Is there anyway to automate assigning iDrac IP addresses to dell servers? I have hundreds to setup and it would be easier if I can automate at least the network configuration part.

    RAID build failure with different sized drives?

    How would i change the time out on the drive? I don't see anything in the array configurator. And it is a SATA raid card and the drives are also SATA.

    RAID build failure with different sized drives?

    I have a spare Dell PowerVault 745n that works fine with the original identical 80gb drives. I am trying to use some random drives that I have so I can make a raid 5 array. I know that it will only use the smallest drives capacity in all the drives and that is fine. I have a 640GB, and 3 500GB...

    Backup and Restore file help

    I moved to OSX a while back but made a backup of my files in windows 7 using the back up and restore program built in. I have moved that back up and restore file a couple of times through my OSX external hard drives since I only kept it as an archive in case SHTF and I need to have a...

    Apple TV

    It works great for me along with using itunes as the media server backend. My only issue is that it does not play MKVs. I use subler on my mac to remux (not re encode like handbrake) my mkv's so that they can be in a mp4/m4v container which the apple tv will play.

    Post Your Mac Setup!

    Its a 20" couldn't find a nice condition 23 around here and those tend to suffer from tinting issues. It was either the 20 or the 30. I plan on running 2 of them also it will be dual display again. I had 2 2012 Dell P2412H's before and the Cinema Display is way better. I've liked the design of...

    Airport as a wireless router solution?

    I think we already established what this router can and cannot do. "More better, and more professional" does not say anything about how a router functions compared to another. As far as I can tell the top 5 routers in the 150-200 range all function well with only slight difference in...

    Airport as a wireless router solution?

    I have the time capsule but for all router purposes it is exactly the same and it is great. It will do torrents all day long with no issues and works fine with windows 7. Only thing i wish it had was more advanced features like qos and other high end functions. But for a set it and forget it...

    Mac Mini

    Well it would be faster if faster encoding time is (which i don't think it is in this case). I would consider it if i rendered videos since that is a chore to wait for a project to finish but movies can wait overnight. OP if you decide the new upcoming minis are too much then I can sell you my...

    Mac Mini

The new Ivy Bridge models have much better integrated graphics so the base model should suit you fine. The quad core model would be good if you...

    Bluetooth power consumption (iPad)

    A microscopic amount. The ipad 3 has a bluetooth 4.0 chip which uses a negligible amount of power. So little that now they can use them on new G-Shock watches.

    AT&T U-Verse with 3rd party router

    Just got U-Verse High Speed 10mbps/1mbps. However it came with a 2wire 3600HGV router/modem combo but I prefer my old apple airport + modem setup. I looked around the 2wire's GUI and it didn't have anything for Bridge Mode like other gateways I use to have. How are you setting up your U-verse to...

    Nearfield speaker placement

    Okay thanks. I have some foam here that could elevate them. Should they be ear level or higher or lower? What about toe in? Is it better to point them straight ahead or is there a general advice when calculating toe in?

    Nearfield speaker placement

    I just got some new speakers and I was wondering what the proper placement should be for them. The slave speaker on the left has a pretty short cable and can barley reach both ends of my desk without being pulled taught. Maybe I can make a cable for it if needed. This is how they are currently...

    Speaker died

    I have a pair of Insignia NSB-2111's from 2006 because of all the rave reviews of them when they first came out. Recently one of them died and I tried swapping out the speaker from the dead box into the other and it worked still so I'm guessing that the crossover went bad. How would I...

    MKV converter for appletv

    Got XmediaRecoder for my windows pc and it works awesome only takes about 15-20min per video on my P4 3.0ghz. I suppose Subler or MKVTools for OSX will work even faster on my dualcore g5 but I need to reinstall OSX first and see if that fixes the crashing. One question though; my receiver is...

    Comparable Intel to Powermac G5?

    Found a couple of Mac Pros in the 700-900 range around my area but they all seem to be 2006. Should I look for a 2007 for future support? I dont need anything super fast, even this G5 is fine for me just cant do with the diminishing support like flash or netflix.
