Saw this on GaS: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A418B7Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00A418B7Y&linkCode=as2&tag=bkgas-20 Been waiting for the first to go on sale in the $5 range on Steam for some time; now with the first, second and DLC for $10, I had...

I think this is a long shot that someone will have an idea on how to fix this, but I figure it can't hurt to ask. At work we have an HP MSA1000 SAN, running two separate arrays one for Exchange, one for our ESX hosts. On Friday, we got 4 new drives in to expand the capacity of the arrays...

I have a linux box running mdadm which is currently controlling a software raid array of three samsung hd204ui (2tb) drives. When I started, the box, I was using a q6600 with a few gb of ram, Being that this isn't anything crazy and is just a storage server atm, is there any reason I should...

I'm working on setting up a RAID-5 software array in Linux and unsure on how to handle 4k sectors with the drives I'm using (Samsung F4's HD204UI's). I've read that you can either set up partitions based on 4k sectors, or you can just forgo the partitions entirely and put the data directly on...

I have a new 2TB Samsung drive (HD204UI) that's reporting 1TB to the OS... all other drives seem fine and it's repoting that in multiple computers. My first thought is hardware defect and it should be warranty exchanged from where I purchased it (Newegg). Can anyone think of any other reason...

This is kind of hard to describe, but I'll do my best. Assume you have a class registration table with the important fields being RegID - Autoincrement ClassID - non-unique integer RegStatus - non-unique integer RegID is the unique identifier for each row, ClassID is the ID number for...

Here at work we have a PIX 515e that we're looking to replace with an ISA 2006 server (which will be our only ISA server). So far I think I'm getting good handle on things, but I do have a question about how DNS functions with it. As it is we have several servers which have specific ports...

I really hate to ask questions like this, as I'm sure this forum sees these questions all the time... but since evaluating how big of a power supply I'll need isn't my strong point, I turn to you guys for help. I recently put together a gaming computer: i7-920, Asus P6T, 12GB (2x6) ram, 2...

The company I'm working for has managed to get on some spam lists, which obviously hampers our ability to send legitimate e-mails. Currently, we have: Internet -> Pix Firewall -> Barracuda Spam Filter -> MX2k3 Being that the Barracuda won't relay e-mail (tested it myself with telnet), I...

Sorry if this question is dumb or asked a thousand times (though I *did* search and still can't find the answer I'm looking for)... I've been planning on putting together a MythTV HTPC (absolutely zero plans to go with a Windows solution) and having trouble finding the right tuner that'll...

I'm looking to set up a fileserver / HTPC backend at home and looking for a good motherboard. The problem is I'm looking for one with particular specs, namely: Intel (obviously); looking to hook up a q6600 2 PCIE 8x slots 3-4 PCI slots either onboard video or dual onboard nics. If not...

I'm (still) looking at putting together a linux file server, powered by some kind of Areca card for the RAID array. Originally I was going to go with the WD GP drives because of the power savings... then I heard there may be some issues with them (aside from the TLER), so I looked at the...

I'm hoping there's a good solution to this, but I have a feeling there isn't. We have a 2k3 domain here at work and recently got new laptops in for the start of the school year to hand out to staff. The issue we're having is that we have to log these users in to create their profile and set...

Alright, we're running an Exchange server at work. Recently (today) I came across something that's gotten me rather confused. One of our users created a folder in Outlook 2003, moved several e-mails to that folder and now that folder has disappeared. At first, we figured Outlook wasn't...

The company I'm working for is currently setting up our own Exchange 2k3 server and migrating from IPSwitch software. Currently each mailbox is stored in Eudora format (*.mbx) anyone know how to convert these files over to Exchange (preferably cheap and easily)? I've seen some software that...

I know there's a website out there that will let you feed it a URL and it will show you the webpage flipped over (mirrored right to left or bottom to top) ... anyone happen to know what I'm talking about and what the URL is?

Now I tend to take newegg reviews with a grain of salt. Some things the user just doesn't understand and scores poorly and some things are just hype. This one has me wondering... Here's the review: the earlier review is: I don't understand why a drive *wouldn't* support RAID... isn't...

I'm looking at building a home server... fileserving, mythtv backend type stuff; problem is, I can't find a PSU that'll do everything I want to. First, quick specs on the server Lian-Li case (12 internal 3.5" drives, ~5-6 external 5.25") HDD: 2x 120GB for OS (RAID-1), ~10x 1TB drives for...

I've done some reading / searching here in the HTPC forum (:eek:) and I see a lot of people recommending the NVidia 8500 for mpeg2 playback acceleration. From what I've read on the net (which is *never* wrong) this has been a feature since the MX4's ... so getting a cheapy FX5200 ($30) should...

I have 2 Celeron D's (at 2.6ghz each) sitting in front of me and want to put them to *some* use. I was going to put one into making a desktop, the other I was planning on dropping in an HTPC mainly for showing DVD's off a hard drive, though would like to record 1 SD stream. My question is...

I've been looking at hardware to put together a new server / HTPC for just about a week now and looking at the software options is getting as crazy as looking for what hardware I should use. Since I refuse to go with Windows for the operating system, that rules out WinMCE. MythTV and SageTV...

I'm rather new to HTPC's in general so forgive me if what I'm about to ask should be rather obvious. I'm in the process of putting together a new computer running Linux to do a few things, such as SAMBA file sharing, TorrentFlux and MythTV. This computer was not planned on being set near a...

Alright, I put together this computer some time ago and all has been peachy with it running an Opteron (170 I believe) and 2x 1gb sticks of mushkin DDR500 ram. I recently decided to upgrade the ram a smidge due to needing more for VMWare. Since newegg didn't have the same ram anymore, I...

I downloaded the Ubuntu 6.1 DVD and was actually really impressed with the install / update system in the OS itself. Coming from Slackware (which generally has none of this), it's nice to be able to just click "install" and let it do everything for you and the same with uninstalling. The one...

I'm looking at a website for the company I'm working for which has a CSS <link> attribute to reformat the page when you print it to make it "printer friendly" Unfortunately, I'd like to print the page as it is on the screen. Since I don't have direct access to the website files, I can't much...

Currently I'm running a 19" IBM monitor. Other than taking up half my desk space, it's a great monitor that gets up to 1600 x 1200 resolution. I have however, been toying with the idea of going to a 22" WS Scepter. I have a few questions though. My mom recently bought an LCD screen for her...

I recently (within the past month or so) picked up a 320 Seagate Sata 3 drive from Newegg. Opened the package, dropped it in, formatted it and all was peachy. Recently, I've been having computer problems in that Windows XP Pro won't boot with that drive connected. If I unplug the drive...

Well, I was working on my cousins computer today. He mentioned a virus alert and some spyware he couldn't get rid of. So I grabbed my copy of Ultimate Boot CD for Windows and headed over. After running Avast!, nothing's found. I ran one more, and it picked up 311 infected files, none of...

Well, my uncles computer is crashing at boot (before the login screen) with "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_DEVICE", we've tried pretty much everything (chkdsk /r, chkdsk /p, fdisk /mbr, etc) and we can't fix it. We were able to pull the data off the drive with Knoppix, but he would like to save the drive...

Alright, my buddy and I pitched in to get my friend a "new" computer for Christmas. It's not top of the line everything, but still rather nice IMO... specs are: AMD64 3200+ 1GB Kingston Value (not planning on OC'ing) 7800GT 256MB 120GB SATA Windows XP x64 I got the newest drivers in...

Alright, having gotten out of following computers for a while, I'm coming back to build a PC. Now I'm sure this sounds like a noob question, but what's the big deal about the A64 processors? I mean, right now, Windows and Linux don't support 64 bit processors to really take advantage of them...
