I need to replace the PSU in my server, which has 3x SuperMicro 5in3 hotswap bays powered by 2x 4pin molex connectors each. So 6x 4pin molex connectors pushing 15x mechanical drives. The server also has a SSD (another to be added soon) and 2x m1015 cards, 2500k, 16GB RAM. Any suggestions...

http://blog.logmein.com/it-management/logmein-changes I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to be jumping ship once they see the annual pricing model. Pricing: 2 PCs - $99/yr 5 PCs - $250/yr 10 PCs - $450/yr I use OpenVPN/SSH for my home network, but LogMeIn was very convenient for...

So my Alienware M14xR2 took a dump today and won't boot (power button does nothing). I can't even get into blind flash mode w/ the end-key and connecting power trick. edit: Ordered another motherboard, hoping for the best. Motherboard #3 for this system. Stay away from Alienware/Dell.

Is there a way to manually specify the fixed resolution? I've always used 6048x1080, and have been happy with that. For some reason CCC is now defaulting to 6336x1080 which has screwed up all of my custom config files for games. I know that you can do the triangle adjustment thing, but...

I'm setting up a router at a vacation home that will experience some high ambient temperatures (probably ~100-deg F during the summer) due to not running the AC when not occupied and was looking for some recommendations. DD-WRT would be nice to have. I want to keep it up 24/7 so that I can...

Anyone have any recommendations for a replacement for the network meter gadget from windows 7 that works in windows 8? It doesn't necessarily need to be a widget that's always open, but I need some way to check and see how much bandwidth a certain machine is sucking down. I've been looking...

http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/06/john-carmack-is-making-a-virtual-reality-headset-500-kits-available-soon-video-interview-inside/ I know that some of you are still pissed about Rage, but I've been waiting for tech like to to mature. I've seen Carmack's talk of his obsession with the future...

Anyone know where I can find current 650m drivers? The card isn't listed on the drop down menu on nv's site, and is not listed in the release notes as being supported by the 301.42 drivers. I'm getting pretty bad performance in Diablo 3 on my laptop (m14xr2) and am thinking it's a driver issue...

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/28/steam-big-picture-mode/ This is the first mention of the elusive big picture mode that I've seen in almost a year. I honestly can't wait for this. I have a machine hooked up in the living room exclusively for games and would be happy with booting straight...

I went ahead and picked this up as a few of my friends also bought it. Has anyone started playing it yet? If so, what are your thoughts? I loved the first one.

This thing looks freaking epic. http://widescreengamingforum.com/news/announcing-wsgf-edition-multi-monitor-stand -Integrated power distribution and surge protection for up to four monitors. -Curved, five-segment monitor bar that allows for a truly parabolic curve in 3x1-P and 5x1-P. It...

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/06/rockstar-red-dead-redemption-on-pc-isnt-happening-not-viable/ Screw you Rockstar. This would have been a beautiful game. You are missing out on a rapidly growing market.

It includes the BF3 fix and improved RO2 CF performance. Get it here: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/crossfirex-app-profiles.aspx edit: The new Rage driver is still coming out later today.

http://the-witness.net/news/ Check it out! Joystiq just linked this article explaining that it probably won't end up on consoles. It seems that the freedom of the PC platform and the broad exposure and success of smaller indie titles is starting to sway more devs...

Beta 0.1 is released today - 1800 UTC. Check it out here: http://www.realitymod.com/ There will be 5 100-slot PVP servers up today. Can't wait!

-edit- Problem solved.

It looks amazing. Screenshots here on PCGamer. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/05/19/arma-3-announced-releasing-summer-2012-first-screenshots/ Check out the system requirements! OS – Windows 7 / Vista CPU – Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster GPU – Nvidia Geforce...

After seeing a few complaints about the fact that some people still play with an inverted mouse -- I bring you the 2011 inverted mouse poll. I for one love my mice inverted. The only game this causes me constant grief in is NWN2.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/ips-and-3d-come-together-in-mitsubishis-new-23-inch-display/ Been waiting a long time for something like this. IPS and Passive 3D. The bezels look pretty small, but the bottom one needs to go in order to allow portrait mode. Now if they can get the size up...

http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/31/creators-of-arma-2-announce-take-on-helicopters/?mtc=comment-59862#comment-59862 Just announced. With this and Cliffs of Dover this year is looking great for flying games. I'm a huge fan of flying the helicopters in Arma 2. If they can keep up that level...

I'm playing Neverwinter Nights 2 and am having problems playing w/o an inverted camera. The camera does invert when in character mode, but will not invert in tactical or exploration mode. I use a Razer Deathadder (don't know if that will cause additional issues), but I'm looking for a way to...

I noticed my cpu was idling around 80C. I am using the included fan, but case ventilation is not great. I'm going to add two more 60mm fans on the back to vent some of the heat out. Right now with the case cover off I'm seeing idle temps in the 65C range -- I would still consider these too...

http://kotaku.com/#!5764404/now-you-can-play-gran-turismo-5-on-five-hdtvs While I do realize this is semi-hilarious. It's also a cool concept because maybe more games will start supporting eyefinity natively. That was the biggest knock against playing racing games on the console I had...

So I crammed another 2TB drive into my desktop and then went to fill out the rebate form and stupidly had not recorded the serial number. Now I really don't want to pull it back out as it involves removing my graphics card, unhooking a ton of power cables, etc. Is there an easy way to read the...

Check this out! http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/02/07/modders-recreating-stalker-in-cryengine-2/ Look really amazing. Cryzone – Sector 23.

I just saw over at WSGF that 5x1 is official now. I want to see some pictures of the crazy [H] people out there that get games running at such a high resolution! http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=21509 This makes me wish I had IPS monitors... Should be about the...

I'm pretty blown away right now by the graphics on Epic Citadel -- a new tech demo from Epic and Cliff Bleszinski. Cliff released it for free on the App Store today after the Apple conference. Check it out if you have a new iPhone! Unreal Engine 3 on iOS! Screenshots below...

http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-ex-john-dalys-prostroke-golf/17-3122/ That video blew my mind. I can't believe I had not heard of this before -- it looks awesome!

Anyone got any suggestions? Homerun Battle 3D works perfectly (free iOS version works too), but we are looking for something else to play. Going to try out Skies of Glory next. Pretty cool concept!

Saw this indy game on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/42500/ Anyone played it? I'm kind of ravenous for a flying game right now and am wondering how the joystick support is (x52 Pro user) and if it supports eyefinity.

Can anyone recommend a decent way to talk on skype via the evo 4g? I'm kind of shocked that there isn't a native skype app (at least one that I can find). It looks like you have to have an android phone on verizon to use skype? I don't even care if I can only use it on wifi, but I'm used to...

I currently have 4x WD10EADS drives in a software raid 5 on my ubuntu server. Newegg is holding their sale today of WD10EARS drives -- will it work for me to add a few more and grow my array? Also, will a WD10EADS and a WD10EARS drive work together for a Raid1 in Windows 7?

I've about had it with this game. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the game stable. For a while I was able to play the game so long as I was on a fresh reboot and it was the first game that I played -- CTD's would happen really quick during play if I had played any other...

I can't seem to break the low 30's @ 1920x1200 even with everything on low. I'm running a [email protected] with a 5870 and 4GB of RAM. Is it time to get an i7? What gives? Please post your settings!

Is it possible for me to fold on my 8800GT while in a hybrid physx configuration with my 5870? Fluidmark works and shows hardware physx, but gpu2 f@h is not working -- I get system_unstable errors if I force it to use the 8800GT and it won't start with my 5870.

http://kotaku.com/5496600/is-usb-storage-in-the-xbox-360s-future Looks like great news -- it's not a replacement for HDD's, but it might explain why it's really hard to find a 360 Memory Unit these days... It sure would make bringing your profile/saved game to a friends house easier.

... It's going to cost $20/year for a 2 computer (non-raid compatible) license that requires an online connection.... Is there an alternative? I hope they don't get rid of the old version -- metabrowser definitely has it's quirks, but it's awesome. I use it on more than 2 computers though...
