I went from a 27" 1080 with a gtx 670 to a 27" qnix 1440 with a gtx 970 and it is absolutely fantastic. Oc'ed the monitor to 96 hz as well.
I checked green-sum at eBay yesterday and a glossy perfect pixel is $319. Highly recommended.
I have 8GB and it runs flawlessly. I use it mainly for storing movie files and streaming to 2 different htpc's and an xbox. Never had a problem with multiple boxes streaming at once. Also use it as a Time Machine backup box for a couple of macbooks as well.
No addon's other than using it...
I've had a freenas system for a couple of years now on an old biostar mobo and athlon 250u. Runs flawlessly and performance is great for my needs. I did drop some ECC mem in as well.
Jesus Joe, relax. I personally don't like Microsoft products and don't want my data associated with it based upon my 20+ years experience. And because Flex and Snap Raid are dependant upon Microsoft is one reason why I didn't choose it.
Another reason I use ZFS is because I utilize the...
Here's what my pf.conf looks like:
#change this to match your primary ethernet interface, re0 or em0 are common, but there are others
ext_if="re0"
vpn_if="tun0"
#table persist
#These are all of the other interfaces we discovered in step 2
set skip on lo0
set skip on ipfw0
set skip on...
I run ZFS in a fairly simple FreeNAS environment. I originally started with 3 x 1TB disks in a single pool. When the time came to upgrade, I simply bought 3 2TB disks and replaced each disk individually in the pool. Worked like a champ and there is absolutely no backup/restore/destroy pool...
I just went through this process this weekend. Follow paetzel's openvpn guide. Then the key is follow his firewall guide: http://joepaetzel.com/2014/03/04/secure-freenas-9-2-1-2-with-a-firewall/
I did have to make a couple of mods to the pf.conf file (remove table persist, and remove the...
I have a 250u and an old Biostar board with an 40GB SSD and (3) 1 TB drives running FreeNas. I'm only seeing 18-20w at wall idling, which it does 99.99% of the time. As the above poster said, the ROI to go lower just isn't there. And yes it is running 8GB of ECC memory.
250u was a good...
Here's a new flash for all the haters: if you live in the Northeast, especially BOS, your packages are going to be really late the next couple of days.
Yeah it's winter and shit happens, but it must be our fault, right?
12-18 inches of snow tomorrow/Fri in case you didn't know.
Have...
The two companies in question employ TENS OF THOUSANDS of people who are a lot smarter than you that have been doing this business for over 40 years. To suggest that they don't plan accordingly for the busiest part of the year is just plain ignorant.
And just to reiterate regarding winter...
I've been a pilot for Fedex for 10 years. I was flying all month through both Indianapolis and Memphis and I will tell you one thing as I was there and experienced it. The weather was absolutely brutal: snow, ice, freezing rain, and extremely out of season cold temps which effects everyone...
I have another win 7 machine with vmware workstation, a freenas vm and a dedicated 1tb drive. I have roughly 500gb of data on my main freenas server that I simply automatically rsync over to the freenas vm. Works great.
I've looked at the all the different solutions, Napp-it, win2k8, freenas, etc. I ended up going the simple linux route. Here's why.
Reqs:
1. TimeMachine support and I wanted to do it via iSCSI
2. Simple samba support for file serving
3. Since I have under 2TB of data, mdadm RAID 1 is...
Alright guys, I have a reall stupid/noobish question. I mined for a month on slush's pool and I used the default wallet address created when I signed up for the pool. A total of 11 payouts were made to that address, but I can't for the life of me figure out where that address went to. I never...
Well, well, well, persistence paid off. TJ08B-E is in stock at the egg. Mine is ordered and will hopefully ship today or tomorrow.

What kind of price did you get? Only place I can fine it in the US is at sundial and it's 105 + 42 for shipping. Having a tough time justifying 147 for this case.
Does anyone have a sample AppleVolumes.default file I can use. I use to have Time Machine working correctly, but after multiple rebuilds, I can't seem to get it going again.
Here's what my AppleVolumes.default looks like:
:DEFAULT: options:acls,upriv perm:0777
