    Howdy all, I'm in the market for a few components, and I'm trying to get the best deal I can. First on the list, a 750W or greater power supply. Would prefer 80 Plus Gold, but Silver or Bronze will suffice if the price is right. No real upper limit on wattage, but I can't go much lower than...

    Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite

    Does anybody have one of these? They look pretty interesting, and for the price they look even better. Haven't seen a whole lot of talk about them however. Just curious performance, usability and how the firmware is doing as far as maturity goes. Was just looking at possibly picking one of...

    Looking for a new laptop/ultrabook

    I'm in the market for a new notebook; mine is getting a tad antiquated, and I'm going to be away from home more than usual in a few months time. I only have a few important requirements for this machine. There's a few manufacturers I'm not too keen on, but I can make exceptions if deemed...

    Low Cost Low-End VPS Providers?

    Wasn't sure whether to put this in here or in the Virtualization section. Mods feel free to move it if you see fit. I'm looking for a fairly low end, fairly inexpensive VPS. It's basically just for playing around with a few ideas I have right now. 512MB to 1GB of RAM is plenty. Disk...

    Hey guys, Basically my parents have a wireless router in the basement (Mom's office), and my step dad is wanting wireless access in his shop (outside and on the opposite side of the house as the router). The signal out there is garbage, so I was thinking I could just run a cable across the...

    DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Suggestions?

    Been working out of province all summer, moving back at the beginning of September. Looking at the internet packages available, and they want $98 for their shitty cable modem/wireless router combo. I have a pfSense router I'm going to be running, so I figured I may as well just buy a damn...

    Global Variables in Flask

    I'm working on a small project here, and I'm using Flask. Don't have a lot of experience using it, but I'm comfortable enough to be quite productive with the odd Google session. One thing I'm wanting to do is pass a list or dictionary (or any data type really) to every page. Now naturally I...

    Looking to get a new router

    I'm looking at getting a new router pretty quick here. I'm also hoping to have some semi-decent firewall features as well. I would like it to be capable of doing VPN and VLAN, as well as some logging/monitoring of some sort. I currently have a 50MBbit Down/3Mbit Up connection, with about a...

    New Case Design. Suggestions? Comments?

    Just threw together a new design for a case that I'm considering building (money permit). I've never done any case modding before, so my first would be a scratch build! :D Note that the SSDs/Mobo are just models that were pre-made, and I'm not necessarily using them. I'm also not 100% on...

    Does what I'm looking for even exist?

    I've been considering replacing my laptop as of late, just for the reason that I want something that would better suit my needs. I've been fairly discouraged however, as I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm starting to question whether or not such a product even exists! First...

    Improving my web skils

    I'm enrolled in a Computer Science course currently, and that's going just fine. They spend more time on programming rather than web development however (which again, is fine). I would like to have the option to throw together the odd website for some cash on the side though, so I'm working on...

    WTB: VT-d Capable LGA1155 Mobo

    I'm looking for a new motherboard to pair with my i5-2500. It NEEDS to be LGA1155, and support VT-d. I would prefer for it to be mATX, but ATX will be considered as well. Besides that, I don't care too much. It can be desktop-oriented (Q67), or server based (C20*), or just whatever is known...

    Over Allocating Resources in ESXi

    I'm currently in the process of building myself a dedicated ESXi box. Basically I just need to wait and see how things go financially (school sucks :D), and then buy the motherboard and memory; good to go otherwise. I'm also waiting on Chilly for the Intel drivers, so things kind of work out...

    I am in the midst of collecting hardware for my new virtualization server. I was originally planning on using ESXi, but recently have come across an offer I'm finding difficult to refuse. The Microsoft rep at my school gave us a list of free software we're able to use. Included in this was...

    Migrating from Vbox to ESXi: .vdi to .vmdk

    I'm building an ESXi box here pretty quick, but I have a couple machines in Virtual box that I'd like to migrate. There's been quite a bit of changes made to the installation, so I'd rather not have to do them all again. I'm just looking for the best way to go about migrating. I've read a...

    Preparing a Debian VM for External Access

    I've set up a VM running Debian that I plan to use as a web server. I've never exposed a computer directly to the net before, so I'm a bit wary of doing so before taking all the precautions possible. So far I have done/plan on doing the following things: - Quite strong passwords for...

    Cheap card for passthrough on data server (ESXi)

    I'm just looking for a cheap option that will allow me to pass through my 2 disks to a VM on ESXi. I can't see myself needing more than 4 disks in the foreseeable future, and even just 2 will be plenty for quite some time. I was looking at BR10i's and Perc5i's on Ebay, and they're reasonably...

    Having some troubles with my NAS (Running OpenIndiana)

    First things first, I have basically no experience with anything Solaris related. I'm quite familiar with Linux however. I recently set up my server running OpenIndiana. It's installed to a random HD I had laying around, and I set up a ZFS mirror with my two Samsung F4's, giving me 2TB of...

    What makes distro X better than distro Y for servers?

I'm in the process of revamping my server a bit, and I can't quite decide which OS I wanna throw on there. I often see people recommend distro's (most notably CentOS) for server applications. I'm...
