Yeah, if I return this it won't be for a replacement... Generally I've had good luck with the Asus WS boards (even ones with crappy newegg reviews), guess not this time.

So, yeah no speaker attached... dug around the spare parts bin and found one got it hooked up. Pulled all of the RAM to test the speaker (it is working). Went ahead and cleared the CMOS. Put two of the original 8G DDR3/1600 sticks back in, powered up same result (no display, no error/warning...

The Amazon reviews are fine, as are reviews from people who I know aren't idiot newegg customers (see the review at STH here). Also, if the board won't post how extactly do I flash the BIOS? Yes, 8 pin (and all other power connectors) are plugged in. I haven't, trying to avoid ripping apart the...

Hey everyone, Finally getting around to replacing my ancient PC (C2D Wolfdale....) and of course I'm running into issues. Here are the build specs: Case: Corsair 540 PSU: SeaSonic SS-660XP2 Motherboard: Asus P8C WS CPU: Intel i7-3770 HS/F: Corsair H90 RAM: 4x8G DDR3/1600 (g.Skill...

Chances are you don't actually need any of that... First - check out any build log by spotswood (such as this one: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=207663) Another good build log (with videos & different materials): http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=192623 Also...

Sorry for the late reply... If you get Intel's thin mini-itx board (the q77 one), it has the psu on-board. Just need to add the right power brick.

Wesena itx4 Dimension: ----- 240mm×250mm×100mm (L× W× H) [9.5"x10"x4"] Not sure if it will fit that GPU or not...

Lian-li has the D8000, also mountain mods makes large cubes (probably not cheap to get to EU though...).

Need another case like I need a hole in my head... But it does look better than 99% of the mATX cases I've seen lately.

Actually it's 15mm (the WD 2tb 2.5" drive).

I use the startech with the 8087 port (SATSAS425BK).

Did you do anything to the counter top (they come with oil pre-applied), or using it as is?

Only the straight ones are available at the DFW Ikea. The 'corner' ones went MIA last year some time. Also, the website only shows the straight one.

I'm using multiple of these: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-SFF-8087-2-5in-5-25in-Backplane/dp/B005WKK31E The 8087 connection is just wonderful (and right angle connectors work great).

That's the original (like 3+ years ago) solid. It's the super crappy jmicron controller (as linked by the above poster). I still have 3 of them. They're basically useless.

If you partition/format the drive before loading windows (and its the only drive when you install) then it won't be created.

Check logicsupply, they have a couple of new thin ITX cases worth looking into. Also, for a slightly chunkier build the Wesena ITX1 and ITX4 (if you want more NIC ports via the pci-e x4 slot) are relatively inexpensive & look good. As others have mentioned, the M350 is pretty much the current...

I'm still running a 3x30g OCZ Vertex 1 RAID0 for my apps/code (moved it off OS duty a while ago).

Storagereview.com also has their review of the vector up here.

Amazon has (had?) same price earlier, grabbed two there.

If I'm not mistaken, the U2410 uses the 'quick change' proprietary dell connection for its stand. I know my U2311 & P2210h both do. You can do a google image search for dell stand to see what I mean.

I haven't seen any 2048x1152 monitors available for years. Wish they were still available. Only four models that I'm aware of - your dell, two acers (23" & 27") and a Samsung. None are currently being manufactured.

All of the testing I've seen indicates that storage spaces is severely lacking in performance.

Don't know how many people still use it, but it was a mainstay for a while. Cheap 8 port HBA (software raid only). Used one for a while in my original WHS.

LOVE the sleeved PSU cable.

Already back out of stock.

Just saw the PC-D8000, looks like it wouldn't be that hard to toss another 10 or so drives above the PSU with a little modding. Also love that the IO/Power is removable (it takes up a 5.25 slot).

I can't speak for anyone else, but the issue for me is that there are already dozens of 27" 1080p monitors on the market with a variety of features and price points. The same cannot be said for higher DPI screens.

Please see thread in the 'hot deals' forum from last week (ish).

You'll need to see pic's of the back of the board to know 100% for sure. As an example, take a look at the Super Micro X8DTH-6F-O. It's listed as 7 (x8) PCIe "in x16 slot". If you look at the slots, they are obviously x16 physically, but if you look at the back of the board there are only enough...

Corsair Neutron GTX looks promising (though nothing to amazing at this point). The Plextor doesn't seem to be a big bump over the non-pro version, but it does have a 5 year warranty. That alone trumps the Vertex 4 (and the vast majority of other SSD's).

Did not know that, locking now :D

Update: sale completed (thanks Goatsongoats). Mods - feel free to lock

Looks similar to the Facebook open datacenter storage stuff (search for 'Facebook magic hinge').

Again, go price out a CNC, laser cutter, custom PCB design & fab... Then go add the materials cost. You'll pay the same (or more) going to someone like protocase. Even if it's not something you would ever spend money on, at least respect what it is and what it represents.

Obviously a bunch of people who've never priced out something like this. Just building the new unibody alone would be over $1000 for an individual to do it. Add in the three custom PCB's (which realistically you couldn't build just one of)... Now add in all the other custom parts and it actually...

it means the physical connection is 16x, the electrical connection is 8x. You will never get more than 8x on those slots. This is (relatively) common on SM boards.

Looks to be a bug in the 3.2 kernel (or at least the Ubuntu version of it...). It doesn't identify the specific bug though. Blog gives instructions for upgrading to 3.3 via .deb's.

My current media server is pulling 44w at maxload (handbrake encoding across all cores) according to the kill-a-watt (yeah, I've heard it has issues with accuracy, but it's what I've got). Case: Stripped down FT03 (seriously, just the frame) PSU: Seasonic 400w fanless Mobo: Intel S1200KP...
