    Dell U2515H

    Have 4 of these at my desk at work. No image issues or power supply whining. Anyone think we'll ever see this drop to $300?

    Are you using Windows or OS X scaling? What %?

    How small is text without scaling on these panels? I'm considering a pair that would mostly be used for development. I currently have a pair of 23" 1080p and 24" 1920x1200 screens. I don't have room for dual 27" screens on my desks and I'm worried that I wouldn't be gaining much real estate...

    File server upgrade path: Stay with hardware RAID or move to new-fangled file system?

    Would you create 11 different, randomly allocated directories (because attempting to name the single-drive subdirectories by name, genre, date, etc would be a fool's errand) if you had an infinitely large disk? Of course not. I realize you can create symlinks, but still unless you want your...

    I'm curious... about your storage

    Does that include lossless audio? I'd think a lot of people going to to the trouble of building large storage arrays for movies probably aren't listening through TV speakers or cheap HTIBs.

    File server upgrade path: Stay with hardware RAID or move to new-fangled file system?

    So assuming 13 2TB drives, would snap raid support dual disk parity while exporting a single volume instead of 11-13? That's the PITA I'm referring to.

    File server upgrade path: Stay with hardware RAID or move to new-fangled file system?

    It stores basically all of my data: media (music, movies, & pictures), other machine backups, VMs, development work, documents, etc. Capacity wise, movies dominate since it stores rips of my entire blu-ray collection. Only for portions of the server. Things like blu-rays are not backed up...

    File server upgrade path: Stay with hardware RAID or move to new-fangled file system?

    I've been using 3-Ware cards for my home file servers since the dawn of time. My current server is running a 9550SXU-12 (PCI-X) with 12 2TB drives in RAID 5. I've had this card for a couple of years and have been slowly adding new drives as it filled up, taking advantage of online capacity...

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Anyone have issues with the drive indicator lights on the 4224? I I have about 8 pairs that don't light up when drives are connected. Even though the LEDs don't light up, the drives still work. Has anyone attempted to repair them? I'm well outside of my return period and don't want to buy...

    Did you ever figure out what was going on with the DTS:Neo function not upmixing over the analog outputs of your sound card?

    Question for B-Enspirer and other C-Media CMI8788 card owners...

    I realize this thread is ancient, but I'm having the exact same problem using the C-Media reference drivers for windows 7 released in February of this year. Any ideas? I'm using this in a car, so the SPDIF output isn't an option.

    WTB: 4-8 Sticks of PC3200 (DDR400) ECC Registered RAM

    I'm looking to pick up either 4 or 8 sticks of PC3200 ECC for an old socket 940 server. I'm only interested in single stick capacities >= 1GB. I really only need 4 sticks, but if the price is right, I would consider picking up 8.

    Do I have any other options other than HDMI sound cards for my desired setup

    I have a GTX 280. I don't think it will encode EAX into a multichannel stream over EAX unless I'm missing something.
