I don't know if this happens for anyone else but remote desktop sessions (using the RDP desktop app) to systems/vms with this KB installed black screen if I minimize the session and come back to it some period of time. Can't interact with the session after that other than close and re-open...

Have had the makings of a 2700x system in an Amazon shopping cart to a week now. The price is back down to $299.99 today.

Fan noise wise, she'll put out some noise when booting up but after booting, the chassis fans whisper leaving the power supply fan to be heard. More like a woosh of air though and even still seems quieter than the D-Link 48 port switch I tried. I hear the exhaust and CPU fan of my old ReadyNAS...

I did go with the HP 2920-48 non POE version. It's currently installed and running. A bit louder fan noise wise (power supply fan) than the D-Link DGS-1210-48 but I'm used to fan noise. :) Simplistic management can be done via the web ui but the real meat is all command line. I haven't gone...

Thanks for all the suggestions. May end up going layer 3 route even though it's wicked overkill. I haven't played with layer 3 switches since my days at Alcatel/Xylan. The HP 2920 is still high on the list. I did give a D-Link DGS1210-48P a shot. Random reviews looked good but I did have...

I may be over-complicating things as usual. Entertaining pricier layer 3 options like the HP 2920-48G. Researching performance/stability gains not that I've ever had issues with the Netgear layer 2 options, multiple link agg enabled ports, mixed MTU, etc. before. Part of me wants to try...

Thanks, diizzy. You're recommendation of the Zyxel 24 port switch in another thread is what had me looking at their 48 port version. Decisions! Part of me started thinking full but not far out expensive L3 switch just to play around with. Bad for the pocket book. Good for the brain. :)

Thanks, Easius. Looks like I saw some old documentation.

Forgot to include those additional details. Performance should be decent especially to the link agg enabled ports where data is moved to/from regularly. PoE not needed. Web UI although I could live CLI. Not too concerned about power consumption or noise. And price can be < $700. This...

I know I've seen a fair amount of 24 port gigabit switch recommendations. How about for 48 ports for a home network that's 99% gigabit. Need at least 6 link aggs (2 ports per - static or LACP capable). Something nice and stable. Under $600 or so. Fun part of looking on-line is most places...

Thanks for the info. Now to decide on the Benq or the Samsung.

Comparing the dot pitch of a 30" at 2560x1600 vs the 32" 2560x1440 offerings doesn't seem like much of a difference. Considering I end up using Windows scaling to 125% on a 30" monitor, I'm curious if one of these 32"ers might help me live w/ 100% scaling and be happy with the text sizes. Do...

My last build, a Hyper-V server, has a Seasonic PSU. Totally rock solid and great experience.

I've had a couple of Enermax PSUs bought for their small sizes and modular cables perfect for small form factor systems. Long live Liberty! :)

Built a small VM box using this motherboard this past weekend and an Adaptec 6805. Same type of thing. The card wasn't seen on POST. A quick search on Adaptec's site mentioned update the BIOS but if the issue remained, try setting Advanced -> Chipset Configuration -> Integrated IO Configuration...
