Nice to see some classic hard ware. realy thrilled someone remembered the Gravis - amazing card. so sad it died. - someplace I think I have a K6-3 - amazing chip really! No idea if it still works though.

did you guys get the card to work with ZFS? \ How did it go?

good product - good price. what more do you need?

my system takes forever to boot! and I cant afford a ssd! I need a ssd! My boot drive is years old and needs to be replaced! ************** Jake: No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the...

flashed the firmware.. will be installing drives soon. probably this weekend

got my 5. though have to say the newegg packing was not great. if I have any problems with the drives I will lame that. It was clamshell around each drive.. then wrapped in bubble wrap and that put in a box much bigger than the bubble wrap with a little bit of paper stuffing.

got 5. norco box should be happy..

hum got a 4020 and could use one of these. Ill keep an eye out just in case you get stock again.

did you replace it with one of these?

they have created ice 9? I need to find a nice hill top with a good view of the sky...

well coolness. I will be doing a bunch of assembly. I will also see about testing out the noise level of the box.

everything I read says to go for the 4220 for the easier cable management. however this was gifted to me so I'm not complaining =)

I tried moving things locally for speed reasons.. moving a terabyte of data over the network / share folders takes a while. I suspect i may have a hardware problem on that system as well as I get some crashed service errors and lovely error messages in the logs. Anyone have a posting of how...

Ok I went to frys and they had a AMD phenom II x4 925 and biostar TA790GX on sale so I grabbed those. [then had a intel core i5 but they ran out.. I'm in to the process of putting things together and I have noticed the corsair 750watt has 8 peripheral and 8 sata power connectors. Should i...

Theres been a few other things going on with services crashing [indexer?] and it hates my printer.. but i think that's the printer driver.. [panasonic has really ticked me off on that one] It has been a lot more stable though. on another note.. Anyone know what the risk of a raid 5 uing 1 TB...

Neb Thats probably what happened.. Now I'm using the file manager plugin to move data around. Its still slow but better than before and I don't seem to have quite so many problems. What I really need to do is make a clean system and see how it goes. though performance speed is not great. I'm...

DangerlsGo Well I want enough CPU to be able to transcode video on the fly. My current server system an amd 64 3400 on a asus K8V-X and that is not quit enough.. so I need something faster than that. If you have anything to suggest with enough speed I'll be happy to look at it. Im not...

odditory, thanks. I don't have a Microcenter, but I do have a Frys. Speed is always good, as I am mostly dealing with video so if you have suggestions for that on a budget I'm all ears. I am currently running a WHS system and while I like the back up functions [a lot] I have to say it...

Well the norco 4020 arived today . looks to be in good shape. Most of the threads i have found go on for a hundred or more pages so its going to be fun tracking down all the info. [may need to swap fans for quiet ones ect..] So far I have... 1 norco 4020 case 4.Hitachi HD31000 1TB drives [69...

well i figure id probably need 2 cards.. unless theres something better out there.

Ok been doing some reading on that thread. I do have a few questions.. I would prefer to go pcie rather than old style pci-x. Has anyone tried using the AOC-SASLP-MV8 sas controler in the 4020 box?[20 sata port back plane ] box? Is there a reason this wont work?

Thanks guys. Odditoriy Ill be looking over those links. 4220 Might be a better deal however..I didn't buy the case, someone bought it for me! Its already being shiped so I doubt I will be able to upgrade to the sas system.

I wasent planing on going quit this big this soon, however... It looks like I will be getting a birthday gift of a norco 4020. Since I have been planing to build a better media / storage server for a while I might as well go ahead and start this out right. Given that this is going to be a...

Interesting that most people seem to be focused on windows and intel. The server board looks interesting though I would need to get the appropriate memory for it. I hear the next version of WHS will be based on server 2008 64 bit, but no idea how long till its released. I notice this...

Well I'm thinking il need at least a duel core cpe.. [the single core cpu in the current box is not cutting it. ]

I currently have a WHS system running on an amd 64 3400 with 1.5 gig of memory. 3 500 gig [ide] 3 750 gig [sata] 2 1000 gig [sata] [ the sata drives running on an 8 port pci sata card] I just picked up 2 more 1000 gig drives. I like the backup functions of WHS however I have run across...

I just set up my windows home server. one of the main tasks I have for it is to host my video file. So far it works fairly well however I does not seem to handle MKV files or transcode natively. Does anyone know if there are any ways to get MKV / subtitle support on WHS?

There isa program called HD sentinel for windows that can tell you about the status of smart errors and some other info. http://www.hdsentinel.com/

ok it looks like if i get another 750 gig drive I should be able to set up 2 raid 5 arrays. Since xp only does raid 5 as a hack.. any recommendation on cards to use?

Ok looks like its about time for me to enter the world of RAID. However I'm a bit confused with the best way to do this with my particular hardware setup. My "server" is the following configuration. IDE Drives 1 - 120 gig boot drive 3 - 500 gig [seagate] drive SATA 2 - 750 gig...

From Intel. Wireless What are the supported WiFi channels for IEEE* 802.11n 40MHz? Channel bonding is primarily used with 5GHz (IEEE* 802.11a) systems as it is the best solution for increased bandwidth with reduced possibility of interference. The possible channels for 5GHz...

OK looks like the problem is the Intel 4965AGN. it seems it will only do the wide bad "40" in 5ghz mode. and it will only do 20Mhz in 2.4ghz mode. so if you want to h\got the high speeds you need a router than handles 5ghz. [or go get another nic]

10 meg a second? impressive. It seems there's some sort of problem with dlink and intel cards and Chanel bonding. motley's link may have some info for me if I do some real digging. I got the router to say its using wide band.. but I just don't think the nic in the laptop is connecting on...

i guess i will have to be happy with 130. http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=1236.0 though intel says this card will do 40 with chanels

what sort of speeds do you see on your wireless N router? I'm getting about 6 megs a seconds..

I'm having a small configuration problem with a Dir-655 router. I cant seem to get the duel channel thing working right. The best I can seem to get the connection is 130Mbps. max file transfer speed is about 6.5 megs a sec. about 3 times faster than with wireless g. Now I have already run...

Thanks I will look at that. I'm also looking at the linksys. duel band might be nice as the laptop will do it.

hey guys bit of a wireless N noobie question. I have been trying to get up to speed, but I'm still a bit confused on a few things, so I thought I would ask for advice here. currently have a wireless network at home. It was running G but as the new laptop has a "Intel® Wireless WiFi Link...

call dell's spare parts department, they are reasonable. you can buy the hard drve anyplace and i bet the drive tray is cheap.

Right now im on sprint..
