SOHA NAS drives

I don't think it rises quite to that level of necessity. I use it for proof-of-concept testing because it's faster to spin up my own VMs than wait for the sysadmins to get me one on the development cluster. Also, sometimes I need to mess with the domain controller to conduct tests that integrate...

SOHA NAS drives

I apologize if this has been covered, but my search came up empty. I'm looking to purchase a NAS appliance sometime in the next 6 months. I'm looking at 8 bays, probably around $1000, with offerings from Qnap and Synology being the leaders right now. I'll be using this for the following tasks...

Maximus VI Hero + Realtek

X-Fi Fatal1ty. I prefer it too, but I was shaving money where I could and popped for a 256G SSD and an H100i water cooler, which were my splurge items.

Maximus VI Hero + Realtek

I just picked up this motherboard for a new PC I've built. Since my old Creative board is a PCI card, I couldn't use it in the new rig. So I'm trying out the onboard and for clarity it stacks up pretty well, but I'm frustrated by one facet. I can't seem to expand stereo sound beyond the 2...

ESXi 4+ motherboard

I want to set up an ESXi box at home. Trouble is when I went to Whitebox HCL website (http://www.vm-help.com//esx40i/esx40_whitebox_HCL.php) , all the motherboards they had been confirmed working were out of stock in the brands/configurations I wanted. I was hoping to get something that...

That's the wrong use of the term. Inflation (when used in terms of economics) is "a persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency" Yes we are seeing a persistence substantial rise in...

Following up from a previous post, I talked to one of the people at zipzoomfly and they indicated that even though I placed my order while the 5870 video card was "in stock", that doesn't necessarily tag a physical item to the order and it may be stuck in "Processing" state until the product...

Actually just the opposite, they could not be more in hand. It's supply and demand: While the supply is low and the demand is high the resellers can increase their margin, which in this economy they'll take advantage of. I was able to 'buy' a 5870 yesterday from zipzoomfly (I use single-quotes...

VMWare ESXi and video

thanks guys. Now all I need to do is decide how much horsepower to put in this thing to accommodate the # of boxes I want to create inside it.

VMWare ESXi and video

I'm thinking of replacing several of my test servers at home with virtualized boxes using ESXi and new hardware. In addition to the existing servers, I was toying with the idea of creating a Windows guest server with the purpose of running PlayOn on it, a service which transcodes video to the...

Mobo for VMWare box

It sounds like from previous posts however that ESX/i won't work with my single SATA HDD idea. UPDATE: Looks like there's a way to get it to work, I just need to alter the ISO and dd file with an updated oem.tgz compliments of communities.vmware.com

Mobo for VMWare box

Thanks. I didn't realize that about the SATA drives. If I still use one of the virtualized servers as my gateway under GSX, that's not going to effect my network traffic more than ESX would it? I suppose I could use the host OS as the gateway and virtualize the other 3 boxes off of it. Also...

Mobo for VMWare box

Yeah I thought about going down the server road, but I need to stay around $500-$600. The servers I specced out with similar hardware on Dell were going to run me ~$800 and that's more than I'm willing to spend on this project, not with the other expenses I'm looking at this year.

Mobo for VMWare box

I've been building computers for gaming for over a decade now, but I'm into new territory here and trying to keep this on a budget so I'm reaching out to the forum. I'll need to give a little background so bear with me. What I want to do is put a box together and then use VMware to slice it into...

Replacing P5W-DH Deluxe

Thanks to everyone for the info. Actually the Geek Squad came through in spades. Turns out my BIOS chip was bad. The power loss probably corrupted the BIOS and when I flashed it more bad things happened. They popped the chip, put in a new one, flashed it and up she came. $62 for the service...

Replacing P5W-DH Deluxe

Well, with less than a year owning the thing, my overclocked E6600 system is in the shop being repaired. Normally I do it myself but I just don't have the time anymore. After a power outtage the video on the system didn't output (yes it was a behind a surge protector. No I don't really trust...
