Can you actually do that? LOL

Hey guys, I have a Macbook pro 2007 that i've swapped the harddrive for a SSD (C4 M4 from crucial) I cloned to a new SSD the C4, swapped it out of my desktop and put it in the MBP. The MBP sees the drive, but when I'm trying to create a bootable USB with either Yosemite or El Capitan, the MBP...

Hey guys, I have a OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS SSD that i'm trying to update from firmware 2.11 to 2.2X (2.25 seems to be the latest) However, since OCZ got bought by Toshiba, we're left on our own... Anyone has an ISO with the firmware embed that I could use to update this drive? otherwise, it's...

Hey guys, Anyone here using this for their mail server? How is it? Any problems? What about SSL/TLS? Thanks!

Here's a little update on this: As per the suggestions I got everywhere I decided to go with a metal plate: and since the desk is not full under I put a block of wood to support: Result:

Mr Coffee Would something like this work? Metal Framing Single Slotted I also realized my desk is empty (not flat at the bottom), so I will have to add a 3 or 4X6 lumber cut it to 5" so I can tie the clamp on it BTW 2 thumbs up for the drawings! :D

Yes! Amazing Mr_Coffee! Will definitely try that! Just a clarification, by tubes you mean what exactly?

Yea the 2 solutions i thought of, instead of making a full new piece was C-Clamp style Or Do a metal extension to the piece with 6 holes, 4 that will be screwed in the first part for added solidity and the last will the where the piece will be screwed it to be able to clamp

Don't want to make a hole in the table...

Yea it is, measured :\

Hey guys, I purchased an Ergotron 45-245-026 LX Dual Monitor Arm, Side-by-Side for my future desk as I wanted to mount my monitors onto arms. I eventually found a nice desk, but the desk is 5" thick and the mount supports up to 2.6" (or 3.3" with a hack) in thickness. What do you guys...

Added the link for 2.1 Somebrains have you updated yet?

Thank you Dangman!

I live in Canada so no. But will order all parts online. There's a chance overclocking may occur down the road. However probably not at first. The computer will be built with the mind that if my buddy wants to overclock, he will be able to do so (reasonably of course)

Hey guys, So this is always my main concern with choosing a motherboard. A friend of mine asked me to put together a computer for him. His needs: Basically music rendering and creation. NO GAMING. I'm looking for a board with USB3, and SATA 6gb ports. I don't need all the fancy pants wifi...

updated: added tutorial to update bios using IPMI and ISO file

Thanks Ultima!

Great for the USB! However, i'd prefer an ISO as i'll be upgrading through IPMI.

Yes, it's to update a BIOS. Got a mobo and need to update their bios through their BAT file :-S

Hey guys, I need a DOS bootable ISO that I need to add files to. What would be the correct method so that the ISO is still bootable upon adding the files? and where can I get a bootable DOS prompt bootable ISO? Thank you!

Who has updated to the latest bios 2.0c? Any problems so far Updated... : Seems to be alright for now!

I used Veeam backup software. Did the job fantastically! Thanks guys!

Hello, n00b question here. I'm using ESXi 5U1, and since I need pass from a raid 1 to a raid 5, I need to back up, clear the raid and recreate it. Now I cloned the RAID to another hard disk, but obviously it won't run because the drivers installed are for the raid. So I want to backup my...

Well I guess i'll answer my own problem. Don't use Norton Ghost for PERC 6/i cloning. seems to be buggy. I'm using Acronis true Image and it seems to be working (cloning in process)

Hey guys, I'm trying to clone my RAID 1 ESXi 5 install from my perc 6/i (1TB) to a 3TB HD. The reason being I added 2 more drives to my raid, and I'd like to backup the system as is and restore it once the RAID 5 has been created and is functional. I have connected the 3TB to the...

Trying to configure the USB pass-through myself, i get a "Host does not support passthrough configuration" Anybody had this before? How to get it fixed? Seems people got the passthrough to work, so I'm wondering... EDIT: Would have been nice to have VT-d enable in the bios...:p EDIT 2: How...

Hey guys, So I'm considering getting myself a NAS from Synology. I'm looking for a 4bay NAS but I'm a bit confused on the models and would like your input. What I will do with the NAS is mostly backup and streaming and potentially have some VM's on it that will go on VMWare. To start...

Hey guys, thought i would give some updates. I actually went with 1 X 256gb SSD (Crucial M4, flashed to the latest firmware)! Good discussion going on here, keeps the learning alive!

This is wrong... what if he has a windows partition the drive? All the MBR and stuff won't be copied so it's not a "plug and play solution" You can use Norton Ghost or Acronis to make a 1 to 1 Full Disk copy. Make sure afterwards that the SSD is aligned

I'm confused on all those 240gb SSD drives right now. Why are some 260ish while others are 350-380? I have an OCZ VERTEX 2 120gb right now. I was thinking of going VERTEX 3, but i heard people were not AS pleased with it than with past products. What is you guys view on this?

Cool! Thanks guys!

Hey guys, So I realized probably like some of you guys, that 1 SSD of 120gb for an OS drive is too small... Now I want to double that. I'm considering going 2 X 120gb SSD RAID 0. Is this too dangerous or should I just buy 1 X 240gb SSD drive?

Cool thanks guys! I thought it could be done in the background a la NAS style.

Hi guys, I recently bought a PERC 6/i off of eBay not long ago, with the BBU. Everything works great. I currently have 2 drives in there. I would want to perhaps add 2 more. The setup is currently a RAID 0 and the computer is running VMWare ESXi 5. How can I migrate to a RAID 5...

What's up guys?! So I'm looking at getting a Synology DS411+II (it is on special now). But you can't just get an empty NAS right? You need to get HD's with it. So I was planning on getting some 3TB Hitachi's. I was wondering since the prices are high, if I should wait maybe more until...

I installed the driver that I posted above and it works fine for me on ESXi 5...

So what are you proposing? That I add a static route in the VPN server? i.e. that I reserve a block of IP's on the same subnet that the VPN server will assign to the VPN client? I was following this tutorial to set the VPN up BTW i'm using the modem/router that my ISP gave me. As such, I...

Yea athlon... Well for the sake of the real example, my LAN is 10.10.0.X So, when a VPN client is connected, he would get a 10.10.0.X IP too no? I thought the DHCP server the VPN server was on (basically my router at that point that acts as a DHCP server) would assign the VPN clients an IP...

Well it's very easy, the modem I have (2wire) isn't allowing the GRE protocol to go through thus data can't go. SSTP would be the the next alternative, but I only have 1 IP and i'm already using 443 for HTTPS.... L2TP over IPSec would then be the next choice... now to find a decent how to...

Would be great to get it working though... still no clue :S
