OK so planning an ESXi 5 installation for 2 win2k8 servers, a couple workstation instances and a few application (linux based) boxes. Will have an openfiler setup for iSCSI on another box containing the images, and a 3rd box which will run backups for the entire network. The 3rd box I was...

Howdy, just a quick sanity check. Want to do L2 vpn from one site to a remote site - both sites have cable and dsl as a backup. Have a Cisco 1811 at one site (with advanced IP suite), and looking at a 1921 SEC/K9 with a 4 port EHWIC at the other end. Will these 2 talk VPN? Just looking...

I have a client adding a warehouse soon. The current warehouse is actually right next to the new one, but the added space means bandwidth goes up and a number of phones need to go in. Warehouse is 800 feet down the parking lot in the next building from the corporate office. No bandwidth...

I'm such an End User when it comes to just about anything Apple. I have "subscribed" to a number of podcasts, both audio and video in iTunes on my desktop at home. I've turned off "sync" for everything as I need the ability to connect with both my work and my home PC. SO I load a couple...

Anyone have much exp working on an iphone/ipt app - connecting up to a server for work order completion/signature capture/parts lists? I could conceivably have a real contract opportunity for someone skilled in this.

Anyone using this productively? I have a specific "Collaboration Services" quesiton. Also - is there any pre-built web stuff built in? (looking for a work order generation and response type program)

While not specifically SFF per se - I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of small cases for regular ATX style motherboards? I've got a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R that I need to put in the smallest possible area. Only needs a single HD, no cdrom or floppies.

Howdy, looking to upgrade a server on the rack from using the onboard Intel ICH9R controller to something with a bit more beef. However this CPU only has a single 16x PCIe, and 2x 1x PCIe. No 4x PCIe at all, and 2 PCI slots. Its a 3U unit so I think I can get by with most sized expansion...

Have an SB X-fi (surround 5.1) from work (that is used for our conference room setup) - took that home and measured it with Rightmark Audio Analyzer and a loopback cable. Compared that to my onboard IDT (stac9274) (intel MB) and was amazed at how close they were. WIthin something like 8 db for...

Just had to change motherboards - gigabyte ep45-ds3r died on me. I've got a choice between using the HD 2600 Pro, and my old card the 8600GT. I don't game much, in fact 2d performance might be a bigger consideration than anything (I do a decent amount of photoshop and dpp), but I do play the...

Like selecting drivers and building crossovers and graphing responses and whatnot? Building the box and everything. I've been working so much on my car system that now I've got an itch to do something for my PC. Anyhoo I gotta do something with the really nice caps I had been using in my...

Looking for something that will let me put out from the 6ch analog outputs (ALC889A) onboard HD audio as crossover channels. Even 3 channel. aka Active crossover output from onboard sound. It can just be a foobar plugin like foobar_dsp_crossover Or do I have to look to ASIO stuff for this...

So we've been using shuttles on all projects for the past few years. I'm comfortable with them - we have a nice factory running when we need to build a half dozen - no real big problems. So my boss gets the ida to change things and wants me to examine mini-itx boards for use instead of the...

All - Not looking for 5.1 at this point. Want a very good audio front end - Have a sharp aquos (65u) panel - Looking to bring audio from all sources into the set either via RCA's or HDMI. Aquos has a optical out that I could bring right into a zero - then into my amps. Anyone see a...

Anyone use this? http://www.openpsa.org

Cliffs: 1. network went down. 2. Unplugging a PC that was turned off fixed it 3. WTF? 4. ???? 5. Profit? I'm the IT admin for a small office of about 15 folks. Last Thursday after I went home for the day the boss called reporting the whole network - (internetz, servers, phones...

Anyone experienced with one? I'm having a bit of trouble with the focus methinks. I have a Minolta Hi-matic 7s - which had a PX625A battery installed at 1.5v instead of the proper 1.35V. I picked up a Wein cell which fixed that - before that it was overexposing by about a stop. So thats...

Hi all, Had a web guy build us a web app that is currently hosted onsite. Would like to move this to a web host that has a dedicated machine for us. We currently do our email here. The OS on the in-house machine is Ubuntu LAMP, the dedicated machine is CentOS. Any pointers on the...

I'm doing the ultimate boot CD from a USB key, anyone gone so far as to put xp and have a disk free workstation? Any links or help? I'd like to be able to R&D this avenue as we put computers aboard ships (actually mega and super yachts) and marine life is pretty hostile to spinning disks, yet...

Title says it all, my office has a garbage single Linksys WAP54G. I'd like to put a few (at least 3, maybe up to 5) - and we have 2 warehouses physically separated from the main office that need connections as well. Need seamless roaming with the same SSID/WPA, etc. I want the AP's to hand...

Hi all, I have a bit of an interesting question and I've not yet run into this. This particular client requires a fully redundant network (its actually a boat - they have class requirements, this is one of them). That fact isn't negotiable, they actually require 2 separate wires run via 2...

Boss had 4GB in his machine - 4x1GB, in a Gigabyte GA-EX38-DQ6 with a q6600. Ram was running at 1066 @ 1.8V 6-6-6-20 (was the best I could get at 1.8V.) Worked OK for a month, then one by one - about once a week - he called me in and said his PC wouldn't boot. Each time it was a single...

OK, so my company builds PC's for customers where we install our custom software on top of winxp. I have been speccing the WD RE2 series of drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136200 We typically install in a Shuttle, or a rackmount case - a single hard drive...

We used to run a Hotbrick 800/2 (2 WAN ports, round-robin, failover and redundancy - one session goes out one WAN port, the next session - the second WAN port.) It kept track of it all and was seamless and invisible to the user. Now that thing has gone out (bad switch). The cost to repair...

What is the definition of running at 1:1? Is this it? What are the advantages? lulz now that I look it tells me right there 1:2. How would I do this? up my bus speed to 533, then reduce the mult to 4.5? Wouldn't my effective FSB then be 2133?

Soundmax HD audio and Vista - I *think* its an ALC 888 or 889a - In any event I have ridiculously low output from any output jack when connected to headphones. Even on something I know is modulated at 100% - its sooooo quiet its ridiculous. Its not the headphones - connect it to an amp and its...

Hi all, Does such a thing exist as a 2.1 or 5.1 speaker set with an optical input? Of course this means that the speakers would be doing the decoding. I'm looking at a very high electrical interference environment and need to keep copper away (megayacht). Am I stuck with a full receiver...

www.savantav.com Anyone here an installer or dealer? Can't wait for CEDIA and the next set of stuff to roll out.

http://amanda.zmanda.com/ Found this - anybody have experience with it? Seems on the surface to be an inexpensive solution.

Hi all, I'm implementing a backup regimen that works better than whats been in place for a couple years now (that is the boss runs "second copy" on a PC with some external drives, and occasionally ships them offsite to another employee for safekeeping). We have 300GB of data that isn't...

Based on laptop parts - this system has handled everything I could throw at it. We intend to use it in an HTPC capacity and once stability is over-proven - we'll be transitioning away from Shuttles to this for our shipboard monitoring and alarm system. http://minipc.aopen.com/Global/ To...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230179615458&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=013 I'm willing to sell to [H]ardOCPers at $225 if they catch it before any bids happen.

I've realized that I'm not using my Dell Axim x51v PDA as much as I would have hoped. I simply don't have the applications to justify it anymore. So I'm entertaining serious offers. Send PM's with your interest or your trade proposals. I'd be willing to trade straight up for an xbox 360 or a...

I've had this ATX power supply for over 4 years now. It was like $50 back then, was a 550W when most power supplies barely made 350W. Its been solid and I've never had trouble. It has 25A on the single +12V rail. I figured 300W on the +12v pin would be plenty... So I upgrade my computer, have...

Hi all, We are expanding and as such we will get a nice new server room to fill up. The boss had a great idea about putting up a glass window into the server room in the new digs, thus he wants it to "show well". This means flashing LEDs, status screens, pretty switches, all that. I've...

My AthlonXP 2000+ bit the dust just before xmas. I'm ready to get something to replace it, and I'm looking into the Athlon64s. My one caveat seems to be that I still have an AGP video card that I'm not willing (nor can afford to) part with just yet. It's my trusty Geforce3 and yes I know its...

OK I've done it again.... Heres some history: Back in 2001, I bought a new system with an Athlon 1.4ghz, Abit KG-7RAID, 30GB HD, 4x10GB RAID0 array, Geforce3 (plain jane), and a nice Antec case. 3 months after that a fan failure on a relatively expensive heatsink/fan, toasted that chip. I...

Hi all, I'm looking for an online retailer to purchase a lower end digital camera for my wife. Are there any out there that aren't crooks? Any recommendations or reviews?

My GF wants a PDA for xmas. Budget is around $250-$300. Important features - MP3 playback, note-taking- address book/phone book. Sketch pad very nice, Battery life. Application availability/compatibility. The last time I looked (like 2000) all the apps seemed to be written for PalmOS...

I built this system for a friend. Gigabyte GA-7N400 MB Athlon XP 2600+ (1.9Ghz w/ 333 FSB) 512MB PC3200 RAM (no-name budget ram, but from a reputable dealer) Chaintech Nvidia Geforce 5700LE clone 256MB RAM. 20GB Maxtor 7200RPM 30GB Western Digital 5400RPM. onboard sound, nic, other...
