    Newegg HGST Deskstar NAS 4TB HDD $159 FS

    I bought 2 to install in a windows 8 based media server. I cannot get them to be recognized as 4tb. I initialized them as GPT partition but still only shows up as 2tb. All other drives I have installed and initialized as GPT show up at the correct capacity. This includes a few 3TB samsung...

    65" Samsung UN65H7150 HDTV $1498 @ amazon

    Man I hate that they have stopped making Plasmas. My LG 60PN5700 was $599 on sale at microcenter about 2 years ago. Now LCD will have no competition so price is probably going to suffer.

    When did Newegg start doing this?

    Deliver to work. Would people really open mail that was addressed to you? If so, I would find a new place to work if possible. I had my 60lb supermicro delivered to my work.

    Uhh, that map test is fun. My cinema 27" at work needs to be at 360fps max for me to be able to read the text on the first pass.

    Nvidia Shield 16GB $199.99 w/free Carbon Fiber cover(NO MiR, Free Shipping)

    How does it stream over the internet? Is there a server that nvidia allows buyers to connect their game server at home to so they can access it while on the go? That would mean that I could use my LTE phone as a wifi source and and connect a shield to that via tethering and play titanfall from...

    I just installed a Tt TR2 600w PSU in place of the dual 900w and the thing is whisper quiet now. Such an amazing upgrade. Definitely recommended to anyone.

    $89 AR for 3TB seagate at Tiger Direct

    I have a perfect track record with them. All you usually have to do is attach a UPC to receipt and mail in. Without rebate these are normal price it seems right now. So if in the market for new drives, this would be a good gamble I think. I am almost ready to press buy, but I still have 3tb...

    Hot or not.. Samsung Galaxy Gear $149.99 BestBuy

    Convenience was alluded to as being redundant in the post he was referencing. He furthered that criticism by stating that computers do everything a cell phone can do even make phone calls. And there are very portable computers today. Take a look at the surface. It can easily do what a...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    Finally got it working. Not sure if it was the DVD drive or what. I created a USB win8 install and it seems to have possibly been the fix I needed. I did check that AVS thread a few times and got the sat2-mv8 updated drivers from there so windows could recognize my 3TB drives I have. Now...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    I am not sure how any of you guys got an OS installed. You make it sound easy. "Just dropped in a drive and an OS file and were up and running in no time." I have updated the bios to 3.5. I have pulled every card out of the mobo except for one stick of ram and the CPU. I have tried using a...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    Ok. I used rufus to create a bootable flash drive. I copied the bios onto it. I turned the USB 1 device where the flash drive is inserted into a floppy emulator since when on Auto, it would not do anything. Now it boots to the flash drive it seems but it just stops at the FreeDos prompt and...

    WHS failed. Could not get the 2nd step to go past 0%. Went back to the basement to find that it had an error. Not sure what it was, but asked if I wanted to restart. Checked the logs and the last thing it said was that it was trying to start the windows 7 install. Not sure why it said that...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    So if I update my BIOS via the link found on this page: http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron2000/MCP55/H8DME-2.cfm I should be able to use a USB flash drive to do so? I do not have any floppy drives at this point so a USB or burned to DVD is my only option for flashing a new...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    So I should flash the BIOS to the newest version then I guess. Do you have the link to that BIOS? Not sure how a BIOS flash would help, but dunno. Also not sure how installing from a USB would be any different than installing from the DVD drive connected to the IDE cable in the case...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    I have tried my WHS2011 disc from what I installed on my poweredge. I got to select the HDD I have connected to the SATA0 port. Then it did its thing and popped up saying that I needed to insert media for drivers. I had no problems installing WHS2011 on my poweredge. Do I need to get the...

    3TB 90 bucks Desktop Mainstream IntelliPower Sata HDD

    You had me till you said 10 of any drive and you are bound to have one die early. You think HDD manufacturers would allow a 10% failure rate? Seriously? Do you know how big their return department would have to be. I would say 1 out of 100 is a better failure rate guesstimate for normal...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    So I pulled the cards and connected the OS drive to the mobo I get the same error during boot. The only boot device I have enabled is the Sata0 on the board. Bios sees the drive just fine just cant boot from it for some reason.

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    I am not a server expert by any stretch. I know win8 and it does everything I need really. I tried installing 2011 and it hung at the driver search. So as you say, its probably the drive cards. I will try installing it to the sata on the mobo and see if that works. Makes sense since it does...

    Dell dual 22" monitors with stand, bundle, $280

    If these were IPS I would say go for it. 22" TN though should be less than $100 to buy. They are the P series at least so for a TN I guess they are not too bad. Not sure what a professional grade 22" TN gets you though. I would grab 2 cheap 22" TN and a stand for less than the original $280...

    Surface Pro 128gb (First Gen) $599 Best Buy (Clearance YMMV)

    Its like a 7750 that can only play a few games from the last 2-3 years as long as they are running directX 11 vs a 7950 that can play any game ever created. And solid works, and autoCAD, and just about anything else that can be run on an i5+on chip GPU. So getting a $400 discount on that is a...

    Surface Pro 128gb (First Gen) $599 Best Buy (Clearance YMMV)

    How is it worse? $250 off of a standard Surface 2 price on BF or $400 off the Surface Pro 2 price. This one is even more similar to the new version. Surface 2 got a bigger spec jump than the Surface Pro 2 I think.

    The cord from the monitor to the brick is all the same. They have a cord from the brick to the wall that has to be correct for your part of the world. You can use any monitor cable you have lying around to plug into the brick from your wall.
