    Machine choice for ESXi/Media

    Thanks asman...I don't understand the VM cost you refer to as all the apps would be *nix and most likely run in Ubuntu. You are correct though that most could coexist just fine in a single VM. I am trying to keep Unraid in a separate VM though just so that it can do its thing and not have to...

    Machine choice for ESXi/Media

    Sure- I know the term 'cloud' gets thrown around a lot, but basically I want control over my data/media and have it accessible where ever I'm at. I effectively already have a NAS right now with Unraid installed on a Dell 755. I did the FreeNAS thing awhile ago and after a corrupt RAID 5 array...

    Machine choice for ESXi/Media

    Hi all, I'm embarking down the road of media serving/distribution and ESXi. My basic vision is to build a private cloud at home for access to all my media/docs etc. I'm currently using an old dell 755 as an unraid server with plex, sabnzbd etc set up. With more apps that I'm adding I've...

    Hi, Quick question on your PE2900, I've been looking at picking one up or a T7400 to use for an ESXi/Unraid setup. What's your experience been with the 2900, overkill? How bad is the power draw/noise etc? Any issues with ESXi compatibility? Thanks!

    [H]ard|OCP Xbox 360 Sneak Peek

    Tiny - Can you confirm whether the Xbox360 will be backwards compatible with original Xbox games? Honestly this is a bigger concern to me than if it is going to be able to use an MCE remote or if it has an hdmi output.

    Can't find Windows Drivers

    I'm having some problems with a computer, for some reason it is not automatically finding the "Client For Microsoft Networks" in Network Properties, it shows up on the list of available 'clients' to add for the network adapter, but when you try and add it, it prompts for the location of the...

    Best Buy 1GB Lexar JumpDrive for $44, YMMV

    So most of you have probably seen the Best Buy ad for this week, 11/14/2004, and noticed that there was a 1GB Lexar Jump Drive for what they said is $69.99AR ($20MIR). However, when I went to the store, MSRP was listed at $79.99, so after rebate it is $59.99. That is pretty sweet in and of...

    Onkyo/Athena/Velodyne home theater system for $597

    A7N8X (non-DLX) Sound Issues

    Howdy, My GF tried to install the updated sound drivers for her Asus A7N8X (not Deluxe) through Windows Update. Of course, it screwed the sound up. I have removed the drivers it tried to install and have gone about trying to install the AC'97 drivers from Asus' website, however, after the...

    Weird Linux Data Recovery situation

    Hi guys, So here's the situation, a friend of mine decided he wanted to play with Linux on his laptop, without really understanding what he was doing he installed Red Hat and by doing so overwrote his Windows files etc. I am 99.99% sure that he did not do anything to create a new partition...

    Nice deal on a huge HDTV - Apex 65" WS for $1329

    Yeah, while the 65" may have pretty good reviews, I remember reading the reviews of the 50"?or so 4:3 HDTV, and they were pretty much along the lines of 'buy it from a B&M because Apexs quality control isn't that great.' Again, just a word of warning, but yeah they are awesome prices and...

    Super HOT: WD 160GB 8MB buff = $40 after PM & MIR

    Forget BB, I would do this at Circuit City, they have the 1600JBRTL (8mb version) for $159.99 in my experience CC is much friendlier than the other places, and more willing to offer PMs even to another store's AR price. I remember a post Black Friday deal, BB had the 250GB WD drive for like 140...

    Wireless Networking Card

    As I was saying I would probably look for notebooks with integrated wireless as they are becoming cheaper (Hell, the eMachines with an A64, 60GB and wifi etc is 1299 at Best Buy after rebates) but yeah they are coming down significantly in price. If you want performance look at the A64 or one...

    Wireless Networking Card

    Just ignore what they are telling you, I support the wireless on our campus, and many times the Linksys/Netgear and especially the Microsoft cards will get better signal than the stock Lucent/Orinoco/Proxim cards. The reason the University says that is because that way they only have to...

    Free Cell Fones...or mistake?...nice fones too

    I got my t68i free after rebates. I would check out Soundtrack/Ultimate Electronics if you have one around, they tend to do a lot of rebates on nice phones where they are giving the rebate, not just the service provider.

    Wireless Networking Card

    A couple things with wireless: You will never reach '11Mbps' or '54Mbps' the reason for this is because wireless is a shared network. With standard ethernet, each person has 10/100Mbps to each and every port coming off of the switch. With wireless since it is shared, that 11/54Mbps is...
