Background: Bought a new Dell R320 for use as an internal database server to replace an aging SQL Server 2008 setup. It runs Server 2012 as a host and two HyperV VMs for production and testing environments. Usage is expected to be relatively light, not looking for critiques on the hardware...

Amazon: Sapphire Flex 7870 $213.69 - $15 MIR = $198.69 Only 5 left in stock so be quick! Prime shipping, comes with TR + Bioshock as well. Order by the 15th to be eligible for $15 rebate. Seems to have a pretty decent cooler although OC'ing is kind of a mixed bag based on reviews on the...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202010 $210 - 15 = 195 after rebate. Comes with FC3 and Hitman Absolution which sweetens the pot. Was waiting to jump on a 7870 until after it had crossed the $200 mark, might need to jump on this.

tl;dr: How would I go about running a diff from a windows box on two mapped drives that are supposed to be identical? Each contain over 15 million files and 5 million sub directories I need a list of the files that are on one but not the other Director's cut: I couldn't decide...

tl;dr 1) Can't boot my Hyper-V core server with networking support 2) Stuck at either "Applying Computer Settings" or "Welcome" depending on if I have the ethernet cord plugged in or not 3) How the hell do I troubleshoot this beast? 4) Give up and just reinstall Hyper-V and reattach the vhds...

Preface: One of our potential clients is looking to do a data migration from their in house servers to something a little more cloudy (god I hate hearing suits talk about "the cloud"). It will involve us being on-site to extract the data, then we can physically take the data and migrate it from...

Been using this UPS for about 6 months now, one of our machines has always seemed to be a bit flaky after being put on this UPS. We had to move all our boxen to a new office last week and ever since we reconnected everything that cracked out machine won't stay up for more than a day or so, a lot...

I'm looking to put together a cheap whitebox NAS server for the office that needs to have 2TB+ capacity. I want to use some form of RAID that is both speedy and has redundancy so I'm thinking either RAID5 or RAID01. This box is also to be used as an NFS datastore for an ESXi server so the...

I've recently created a whitebox ESXi 4.0 (B 236512) server on the cheap as a sort of sandbox testing environment at work. Everything is up and running fine locally on the box: I've got 2 VMs installed, vSphere client, PowerCLI, ssh enabled, etc all without a hitch. Now that I've got that down I...

Just saw that John F posted a blog entry about an AMD contest giving out a 4 socket Magny Cours system: Don't think the winning essay is going to be "Try to max out Crysis" but you never know :p Might add a couple of significant digits to my electric bill if I ran that at home but that...

Let's get these out of the way first: 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Heavy browsing, moderate file/app serving, media transcoding, heavy gaming 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $600. Yes 3) Where do you live? DC Area 4) What...

If you guys are done sweatin' over Unigine's eyecandy then AMD has some more demos to help you flex that new card's muscle: http://developer.amd.com/samples/demos/pages/ATIRadeonHD5800SeriesRealTimeDemos.aspx What better way to show off all that DX11 sexy than with an awesome transparent...

Caught this article posted on Firingsquad's front page this morning, anyone who is buying a new system from a B&M or is thinking about purchasing Vista in the near future might want to hold off until later this month. Vista + Win7 for the price of one sounds like a pretty damn sweet deal. Those...

AMD to show off Evergreen/Cypress at Computex It is Charlie so it's filled with the usual loaded verbage and exaggerations, but the main headline is still pretty damn striking. Is anyone on these forums currently at Computex? Would love to hear some first hand accounts if they demo this...

Saw this video on my monday morning trawl through the interwebs: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/12329/global_foundries_45nm_32nm_and_28nm_caught_on_vid/index.html . Nothing earth shattering it's just some silicon, but at least it shows they have the ability to execute at these sizes which bodes...

Cuastic Graphics announces the CausticOne™ video card Seems a little rushed to push a real time ray tracing tech out to retail with 100% of today's games being rasterized, but I always welcome fresh thinking. Looks like they have some noteworthy talent onboard at least. What do you guys think?

Just got this in my inbox: :D:D I've been waiting for this for awhile just to see how well it works out. I spent countless hours playing Q3 and all of the mods for it back in the day. One of the best hardcore multiplayer games ever imo, mostly because of the mod community tho. RA3 and...

Hello AMD Socket G34 - DailyTech.com Quad channel DDR3? Quad HT3? I can't wait to see what can possibly use such ridiculous bandwidth. Hope that Torrenza platform AMD + IBM are building on produces some cool new toys to make use of it :).

I've noticed that my 3850 512 (dual slot cooler) has been artifacting more than it used to in some of the more demanding games without the ambient temp changing at all. Enough to make me wonder if it would do me some good to remount the heatsink with some better TIM. I've seen at least one...

I've been interested in the 32GB Sansa View ever since I saw it get announced and it's almost time for it to come to market. Before I go buck wild and buy it next month I would like some opinions. First off, to those of you here who may own some lesser Sansa Views what is your opinion on...

I have no idea how much customization you can do to the signature code for the forums but I would like to see a sort of standardized hardware spec signature. Maybe CPU model, speed, RAM quanitity, speed, GPU model. GPU speed would be an issue here because of 2D speed settings coming standard...

http://clubit.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=A9630949 When did this SKU come about? I figured a 512MB 3850 might occupy this price. I see the need for that more than a 256MB 3870. Oh well at least it's hope that more configuration options for both the 50 and 70 are on their way.

Anandtech does a battle royale of quad cores. From the looks of it the Barcelona is coming out looking quite competitive with the Clovertown in the performance/watt realm and even a few transaction benches, especially given the huge clockspeed disadvantage. That FB-DIMM move really bit Intel in...

I've been holding out on switching over to SATA until I really had to cuz why fix it if it ain't broke? Well a perfect storm just aligned itself so I'm finally biting the bullet and going fully SATA. The older of my two WD800JBs just started making some scary sounding clicks and whines but...

If there is anyone on this forum who has gone through one USB external enclosure that gets those ridiculous Delayed Write Failed errors to another one that doesn't, could you please let me know which one you changed to? I'd prefer that the new enclosure have a USB hub on it but no big whoop if...

Yesterday I reinstalled Windows and was doing some rearranging of my partitions at the same time so I backed up everything I needed to on my external USB 250GB HD. But now that I'm back up and running, Windows is unable to see any contents on my external. It recognizes the drive and displays...

It turns out that life hates me even more than I already knew. I somehow managed to kill my nf7-s the same day I get Doom3 on August 3rd, but only after tasting its sweet graphical goodness so the separation was even worse. My system froze while I was playing, then when I tried to restart it...

30" Apple Cinema Display looks freaking awesome, 2560x1600 :eek:. Found an adapter that would work with it I think, but you would have to buy 2. Another interesting bit is that Apple tells of a new NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL for the mac and NVidia themselves have not done so yet, they even...

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/06/18/news_6100971.html Some pretty impressive gains. I wonder when we'll get to see some benchmarks done properly and against some cards from the ATi group. If I had the money to do it this would be a toy I'd definitely play around with.

I've been reading through various posts here and on head-fi looking for something new to feed my newborn interest in audio. I started by buying a pair of SR-80s and love them, but after about a year of use I want something of higher quality to accompany them than my NF7-S v2.0 output. First I...

I've been having issues with the in-game anti-aliasing setting and wanted to know if I'm all alone or what. Whenever I turn it on to any degree I get major flashing of random crap (as if I can see thru certain materials for a split second, random objects like trees pop into the middle of the...

I was one of the few winners of the [H] christmas giveaway last year; I lucked myself a set of TwinX 1024-3200LLPro Corsair sticks. I had never really looked at Corsair before because they were out of my price range, but after I won the pair I figured I'd read any literature corsair has on the...

I'm sure most of you have seen the headline on [H] now about the release of HL2 being moved back to summer. I'm pretty distraught over the delay, but for exactly the opposite reason that Steve is. He wants to blame the hackers for stealing the source as the cause of the delay. I blame Valve...
