    24 Disk NAS Windows Server - need suggestions

    I've been doing some heavy reading on the Norco scene for the past couple of days and I've learned quite a bit. Most of my clients live in the single server, <1TB storage needs arena, so I'm not into this stuff every day. That said, I have a client that currently has a IBM server with a...

    i5-760 + P55A-UD3 + CM-212+

    Just got my hardware together, and even at stock speeds this '760 is so much faster in BFBC2 than my e8400. Definitely worth it. I'm looking for a mild overclock, somewhere in the 3.4ish range. I've read settings all over the internet and figured I would get some sound settings advice here...

    New case to replace PC-60

    So I've got a Lian-Li PC60 that I've had since about 2004. The original one with dual 80mm front fans. This case has been fantastic, but I think it's time to step up to something with larger (and quieter) fans. I have a fan controller on my fans now and I would rather delete that (going for...
