Try ATV2 with XBMC. It has played back everything I threw at it (including various mkv formats). It's limited to 720p, but if that doesn't bother you, then it's pretty damn awesome. If you can wait long enough...there will be a $25-35 raspberry pi board you can purchase...XMBC is already...

Newegg has the RSV-R4000 for $49.99 + Free S/H today.

dashpuppy, I understand your pov, but I am willing to take a shot. treadstone, thanks for your suggestion. I will try that.

Sort of. I have that particular cable, but I am trying to mate it to a standard PSU. Do you have a working PE2900 system?

dashpuppy, I need the pinout of SAS backplane power connector....Pin 1 through 22... I don't think you can help me unless you have a working PE2900 system and a multimeter handy.

plugwash, I am not sure if dashpuppy answered your question or not. The connector has yellow, gray, and black wires.

Nice. I am also trying to do something very similar. I bought a Dell 8 x 3.5" SAS backplane (KU482) from ebay for $20 shipped. However it uses a funky 22-pin power connector and I do not know its pinout. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1651747 As soon as I get the power connector's...

I don't think that Xigi HSF (159mm) will fit. I think you can fit up to 142mm tall heatsink. I ordered a Cooler Master RR-910-HTX3-G1 (139mm) from Amazon for $19.99 Free S/H.

AMD_Gamer, the L4000 version comes with the middle 3 x 120mm fan bracket. Mine came with 5 x 120mm & 2 x 80mm fans. I removed all of them and got 3 scythe fans as the stock fans were way too loud.

Nice. I have a larger version (RSV-L4000). It was on sale for $70 from newegg about a month or two ago. I put mine in a $35 Lack rack.

Thanks for the manual, mwroobel. SFF-8484 connectors are there (#1 & #2)

I am trying to salvage a Dell PE2900 8 x 3.5" SAS Backplane board (Dell Part# KU482), but it has a funky 22-pin power connector. Does anyone here know the pinout of Dell SAS Backplane power cable (Dell Part# HC073)? As you can see...it has 3 different color coded cables, but since...

Oops. The HDT-S963 is not compatible with LGA1155/1156. I meant to post, XIGMATEK LOKI SD963 92mm. It's $28.99 + Free S/H from newegg right now. After a little more research, I decided to go with Cooler Master RR-910-HTX3-G1 from amazon for $19.99 + Free S/H. It looks like it will fit...

Looking for a passive CPU heatsink that doesn't block expansion slots on X9SCM-F. My requirements: Does not block expansion slots on Supermicro X9SCM-F Must fit in a 4U enclosure Affordable (less than $35.00) FYI...I should be getting plenty of airflow from 3 x 120mm internal fans. How...

Yeah, that's still the way to go. When you download the flash tools via mediafire.com, I would just replace the "2108it.bin" with the latest IT firmware. Also, I wasn't able to flash my M1015s from my supermicro board, I had to put the cards in my HTPC to flash them. It's super simple, it...

bastian, I was browsing around this forum and found a different solution offered by emc. ICY DOCK MB982SPR-2S ($60.80 after MIR from newegg) If you already have 2 identical 2.5" drives as I do, it might be a good solution for you.

bastian, you are correct. If you want to setup a mirror for your local datastore, I would buy a cheap raid1 card that is supported by vmware. Perhaps, get one more M1015 and update with the latest non-IT firmware. I would put that card in a PCI-e 4x slot.

Bastian, I have a similar setup...X9SCM-F, E3-1230, 16GB Kingston ECC, 2 x M1015 (w/IT fw) passthrough to openindiana vm, You should leave the onboard SATA controllers for local datastores (don't bother with onboard soft raid as ESXi won't detect it). If I were you, buy a M1015 from...

According to FrostyTech... 4U = 154mm or less 3U = 110mm or less 2U = 75mm or less http://www.frostytech.com/top5_lowprofile_heatsinks.cfm
