Ok, i need to replace my old 3U NAS soon - can't keep it anymore after move and i need some suggestions about new one i planning to build... My current NAS can hold ~8TB of data and it almost filled up. So i want at least 2x space. Budget is ~2k$ with HDDs (and 8xHDDs takes around half from...

Hello. Well, there is problem - i got crashes every 5-10 mins in BF3, PS2. Haven't got any crashes with dota2... But problem is somewhere in my PC. I tried reinstalling games, all my drivers is uptodate, windows is updated as well... I checked it with memtest for 24 hours, done burn-test with...

Hello. Well, short story: SSD in my MBP went read-only. Looks like it's done. (in fact, first-gen SSD like that crucial c300 lived under pretty heavy load for 3 years... impressive) I purchased new and all is ok, but i want to restore data from that SSD. Problem: it was encrypted. Even...

I need some help here. I have GTX 680 connected to FullHD monitor and FullHD TV. Usually that's just mirrored image. Recently i started streaming my games. After using game capture (if i understood correctly, this is some kind of DirectX hooking) and games "unexpected quit" i decided to get...

I'm from Russia and i does not want region-locked game. It's also on sale now. So you give me game, i will pay back to you with paypal (or vice-versa if you famous here :P)

Hi all I OCed my system (in sig) to 4.4 ghz, using built-in profile on my Maximus V, however i experience reboots sometimes. It looks like freezing for 5-10 secs, then instant reboot without BSODs or etc. Same on 4.3. Same on 4.2. I tried setting CPU voltage from 1.25 to 1.3, as well as upping...

Current Zalman i use (all config is in my sig) is pretty big. Somehow i missed that it will cover first PCI slot and half of ram... So i am looking at H100i now, which looks very interesting. However i need (as usual, teehee) some help. Should i get different radiator fans for H100i? I heard...

Ok, i'm fckng tired from washing my hands after few rounds in BO2. For example. I know i'm not the only one with that problem. Anyone knows way to stop/reduce it? Gaming gloves? Any experience? I think they will even double it. Your ideas?

Uh, do not know where to put this thread. I just got my new gaming rig (in my sig) and it's not launching some games/apps. For example i can freely run BO2 and it runs without any problems on ultra settings, but Borderlands 2 is just exiting(?) just after launching. Same with almost all Asus...

Ok, after two (or maybe more) years using my Razer Imp i discovered macro feature. Now i can't find answer to my question - can i get ban for using, for example, scripted quickscope in CoD? The answers on other places (i.e. yahoo answers) is more like "i don't know, but i think...".

Looking for some headset which can pair both with my PC and PS3, i'm tired from my current one-ear mobile headset. Also to wirelessly listen some music sometimes, not very often. Found That Logitech, but it uses proprietary 2.4ghz freq instead of BT and not compatible with PS3 :(

Anyone with PoE cameras as CCTV? Can you recommend good models? I saw a lot of reviews but there is no reviews related PoE (i mean proper PoE, 802.1af, and not that passive crp) cameras. Will be really glad if you can recommend me something good.

Not sure if it needed here, but, well... We have seen many awesome networks in "networks pics thread", but i feel like there is lack of weird, terrible and other "how not to do" networks.

Uh, i'm not sure if it's allowed here, since posting firmwares can be considered as warez (or not? I'm not sure), but i'm trying to find latest firmware for EIF24GS switch. Some googling revealed this link: ftp://ftp.seawatch.org/pub/ftp.foundrynet.com/ which is basically mirror of foundry's...

Hi all. After i saw that case every other storage idea (DAS, rackmount, etc) faded away. This is just what i need. ATM this will be my primary storage node, while 3U (current in sig) will get upgraded a bit and moved to DC. So here is my (i hope) final plan, but still needing some help: 1. Case...

Hello, it's me again, and again with questions :D Anyone using router running in VM? Since i got pretty powerful hw now and faulty router i decided to try pfsense and found it, well, pretty amazing. So i got idea of "tunneling" my uplink via switch with VLAN to esxi boxes, configuring CARP in...

Hello all. Since atm i'm a bit limited in space and can't put 3U server with HDD... Is it possible to use external eSATA box to hold HDDs for Nexenta? Idea: 1) Get some i3/i5 server with eSATA PCI-E and 16 gigs of RAM (hello ZFS) (well i already have one) 2) Get some enclosure 3) Bypass all...

Hello, i have Win2012 VM on my MBP (using VMWare Fusion), and soon i should receive my first lab node... My question is what's preferred way to transfer this Fusion VM to ESXi 5.1, i know i can just convert anything with ovftool or similar software, but given how M$ handles licenses (i only...

Found this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182158 I wonder if there is something more modern, for example for opteron 6100? Given the price of used opteron 6128 (for example) it will be pretty interesting. Also there is 60W(!) 6-core E5 Xeons (like E5-2430L)...

Seems to be offtopic question, but ATM i'm looking on juniper router at home. Thought about building x86 machine with RouterOS but received some really negative opinions, then stumbled upon these junipers. First of all, i can't go with ASA 5505 or lower-end juniper - there is no gigabit ports...

Hello, my current home router dies under all my traffic load, so i need a replacement. I will build something x86-based for router, but as for AP... Required features: Dual-band VirtualAP (ie ability to create virtual APs with different names/crypto) RADIUS support External antennas Will...

Hello. I want to grab data from three switches (actually router + 2 switches), but, eh, i do not know how i can do that without expensive span aggregators (and if it even possible). This is home lab, btw. Target system is linux.

Hello. Still building my home lab, so here is my thoughts. Maybe someone can recommend better/cheaper/alternative parts... So my point is to build pretty powerful (because i will do nesting virtualization and emulate cisco ios which is damn CPU intensive) and _silent_ testlab. Not completely...
