    It is actually a Poker II with MX Browns and white backlighting (a MassDrop exclusive, if I recall) which I swapped into a TEX 60% aluminum case! With the new aluminum case, it is amazing and feels solid - before this, I came from a series of Corsair mech keyboards and just had too many problems...

    Is the Gunmetal Corsair K70 still available?

    No. They are discontinued. I have an RMA request pending as I want to replace the burnt out LEDs on my gunmetal K70-Br, but the support tech flat out told me they stopped making the gunmetals: Unfortunately, my entire setup is brushed aluminum and the black anodized model simply doesn't fit...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    Finally got time to build the second one out, fix the issues with the first one (fun fact - old VIBs will drive the kernel crazy) and cleaned-up/shortened the cables! Overall, this whole setup is pulling just over 120 watts and is almost inaudible. High-Res pics here...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    There is definitely enough room to swap in a CWC with a single fan configuration, and apparently, with enough ingenuity and self-hatred/perseverance, you can fit an entire water cooling loop!

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    Here's my lil' vSphere 5.5 lab that I'm using to study for my VCDX - Synology DS412+ w/ Western Digital Red 4TBs in a RAID10 - HP ProCurve 1810-24G - Shuttle SZ87R6 (x2 - parts ordered for number two, will probably go for a 3rd once vSAN GAs) -- i7-4770 -- 32GB DDR3 -- Intel Pro/1000 PT Dual...

    What VMware software should I download for Vmotion, DRS, HA, etc?

    ESXi / Quadro 4000 / VT-D Question

    I believe you only need the VT-d switch enabled if you are using vDGA, not vSGA. Check the Deployment Whitepaper - page 8 and 18

    Apple 27" LED Cinema Display

    Windows 7 and 8.1 recognize it as Display iSight under Imaging Devices as it does other cams but there is a duplicate item (also named Display iSight) that always appears under Other Devices. I've never had problems using the iSight with gChat or Skype.

    APC SMT1500I vs ESXi 5.5

    It means you have to have, at a minimum, an Essentials license for the host as that opens up the APIs allowing for the UPS to works its magic; the Free license is completely locked down so it will not work with the UPS. As for ESXi 5.5, so far both VMware nor APC haven't mentioned support for...

    Vega's Perfect Motion Clarity 2D Lightboost Titan Portrait Surround Gloss Build

    Thought it might be worth bringing to your attention the new Asus X79 WS board, Vega. Looks like it'll support up to 4-way SLI at PCIe3x16. If I recall, you are forcing the R4E to run with PCIe3x8 across the 4 Titans. Might make it breath a lil' more?!

    any 30" with high refresh rate?

    Not to be a debby-downer, but they don't exist. I have a feeling If they did, there would be a massive thread like those for the Catleap 2B and Auria for you to browse through.

    Telling you to do your research isn't rude. It requires going back 5 pages with a bit of quick reading in between. Heck, the creator of Brightness control posted an update on THIS page.

    Apple 27" LED Cinema Display

    Seriously. As three4seven said, do your research and quit relying on everyone to hand feed you answers. -How do I hook it up? -How do I make it work? -How do I turn it off? -Brightness controller? -How do I adjust the color? Really? Did you read nothing in the thread?

    New Silverstone FT02

    We're getting all compound-quoted up in here. Basically everything you said Fark, and thank you: H100 fits but looks horrible, and just kind of lays atop the 180s, and both the Antec 920 and Corsair H80 actually perform worse when used in an exhaust configuration. Unless someone makes a 180mm...

    Apple 27" LED Cinema Display

    Finally got the new work/playstation together this weekend. The ACD27" looks excellent with the SilverStone FT02-S case! Will take better pictures next weekend! A huge thanks to gensplejs for the Brightness Controller. Makes this whole new setup an absolute dream.

    New Silverstone FT02

    Just finished my build and I absolutely love this case. Need to get some better pictures this weekend though! It should be mentioned, for anyone doing a similar setup using a R4E and a Phantek PH-TC14PE that the first PCIe slot will put your graphics card RIGHT up next to the metal fan...

    Do you have a spare DP cable or possibly a D-DVI cable to try? It could be a bad cable causing the flickering.

    Recommend me a 27

    Goldbranch, I believe the Droc was looking for a 27" high-res monitor for his setup. The one you posted is a 1080p TN which isn't exactly what's being sought. Droc, some other 27" monitors which have great reviews are: Apple Cinema Display 27", HP ZR2740w, Dell U2711, and, as HV43082 pointed...

    Configuring Drobo w/ Time machine

    I used a few of their products at work/for clients (FS for my workstation; Drobo B800i for VM snapshots at a client) and they are excellent; easy to setup, incredibly bullet proof, and support is great. If you have the finances and/or take data integrity serious, pick up a Drobo (or a EMC...

    Did you even try to google your question before posting? Drobo has a whole support/KB for these kind of inquiries. Just make sure you are using the most recent release of the Dashboard and firmware.

    Looks like the special order for 27" - 120 HZ - IPS Catleaps is going to happen

    Have they actually been able to push it up to 120hz? Last I heard nVidia capped it as ~100hz and AMD was stuck at ~85hz.

    Eyefinity 6 Monitor Help

    Correct, Suiken. At best, on a consumer level, you can use daisy chain up to 6 Apple Thunderbolt Displays using one of their newer, high-end, thunderbolt-based systems. Here's some info on Thunderbolt. But, until ATI/nVidia adobt Thunderbolt into their graphics cards and monitors manufacturers...

    It appears to be headed that way, but yes, I still used my FW800 port as a faster way of import pictures to my MBP for editing. Also, a few clients use theirs for external drives for time machine due to the faster speeds compared to USB 2.0. Thunderbolt devices just haven't caught up/become...

    Looking for a place to put a second 3.5" Drive in SG05

    Why not use a 2.5" HDD? You can get the same speeds/RPMs and storage space, but in a much more compact form to fit the SG.
