First off, thanks for looking at my list. As much as I hate to admit this, I am actually selling anything non-essential so that I can raise money to offset recent medial bills - my daughter was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Long term, we are going to be absolutely fine, but short term is...
First off, thanks for looking at my list. This is a first pass as I clean the office for the end of the year. There will be more gear posted next week that is primarily PC components. All of the gear posted was acquired during site retrofits or decomissions. I work as structured cabling...
I am trying to find a source for one of the "(Intel) Custom LGA775 Backplate Spacer" that comes with the Megahalems, Super Mega, and/or Genesis CPU coolers (see the accessories tab for a picture). I have contacted Prolimatech, but have yet to get a response. I have also looked at all the main...
I have been a huge fan of Supermicro boards for ages, but I am now in the need of a new LGA 1155 board and there is just not the right one for me in the Supermicro lineup. Tyan, on the other hand, has exactly what I am looking for with their S5512GM4NR motherboard.
My question though is how...
Need some advice as this is a realm I do not normally live in. Client hired me to build a custom PC to be used just for Photoshop and photo editing. He is running CS4 at the moment, but will be upgrading to CS5 within 6 months.
This user does not play ANY games. He is running twin Dell...
I have a Macbook Air in the shop that has been crushed by a truck. Client wants the data recovered from the SSD. Only problem is, the SSD is one of the Toshiba X-Gale SSDs with a SATA 2.6 interface (full spces: [http://www.toshiba.com/taec/news/press_releases/2010/memy_10_604.jsp).
From the...
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good sound card, I listen almost exclusively to music - this is not for games, that is also compatible with Server 2008 or Server 2008 R2?
I have an older Xonar DS, which I love in my Win7 boxes, but the minute I put it in my Server 2008 box and try...
I have a custom built PC back in the shop and the client is complaining of instability - lockups, BSODs, etc. The system is built around an Asus P6X58D-E, Intel i7-970 CPU, 24 GB of G.Skill F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL, MSI 460 GTX, 750W PSU, and 6 HDDs.
Anyways, when it first came in, I ran...
I have decided to do some serious consolidation and upgrading at the same time. Right now I have multiple E8400-based systems that are getting a bit long in the tooth. What I am looking to do is both upgrade to a newer system, at a minimum a Lynnfield core, or possibly a Sandy Bridge core, and...
I sat down last night to start to design a new workstation for myself as I have been upgrading several client PCs and I am starting to realize my E8400 is a little underpowered for my current needs. I am settled on CPU and am going with a quad-core S1156 or S1136 CPU - need need for hexa-core...
A client has asked that I design a workstation geared towards Photoshop and Premiere work. Here are the guts of the system and I would love comments/feedback, esp on the disk subsystem:
CPU: Intel Core i7-950 (with moderate O/C to 3.6 or so - can go hexacore once the prices dip some)...

- Manufacturer # T72-02664
- Seal has been broken, but the OS has never been installed and the product key never activated

I recently finished a project for a larger client that needed multiple servers built. The scope of the project changed towards the end and I wound up not needing one of the servers so I have an unused OEM edition of Server 2008 SBS + 5 extra CALs that I no longer need. The customer doesn't...
