My company has a client with lots of data. 326,000 files totalling 150GB. And this will only continue to grow. He currently has all of this data residing on a single HP DL380 G5. The OS is on 2 72GB 10K SAS drives and the data on a separate RAID5 with 3 146GB 10K SAS drives. For several...

http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=hl-2040 I just jumped on this last night. Total charged (MD tax included) was $73 shipped. I'll post back once I get my rebate. Just a heads up, this price applies to only one per order. If you buy it and then go back to the product...

I posted a thread in the Webhosting section and have not received much help on my issue. Please refer to this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1117976

My company just signed up for hosting services with 1and1.com. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of registering the same domain name as the name of our Windows Server 2003 domain. So basically everytime we access the website from a computer within the intranet, IE tries to point to the...

Hopefully some of you may be familiar with the R3000 laptop. I purchased this laptop a little over a year ago and the performance leaves a little to be desired. It is configured with an XP-M 2800+ and for the life of me cannot get the powernow to operate correctly. No matter what drivers I...

I currently have a mixed digital/analog circuit board that requires about 40 decoupling points. Each point has a 10uF tantalum in parallel with a .1uF ceramic cap. Unfortunately, I did not notice that the caps I soldered on had a voltage rating of only 16V. When I powered the board up with...

Ok, about a year ago I jumped on the SC420 bandwagon like many others around here. A ridonculous server/workstation/desktop (shhhh, don't tell Dell) for about $200...how could you go wrong? With Maxtor hard drives, thats how. Ok, bear with me: I bought my first SC420 for my brother for...

After populating an entire PCB with components (99% surface mount ICs, caps, and resistors), I noticed the traces for my only thru-hole component was missing...DOH! I'm using an LPKF pcb-milling machine to mechanical make my traces. Every now and again, the foot of the LPKF machine causes some...

For the longest time I have wanted to be able to plug a guitar straight into any receiver that has RCA jacks. Any thoughts on doing this? I have experience with connecting a microphone to an LM386 audio amp IC...would the guitar hook up similarly? Also, what kind of filtering, if any, would...

Has anyone ever noticed, after a full day of soldering, the impossibility to stay awake? Soldering is something I do at work very infrequently...maybe once a month tops...so it took me a while to fully diagnose this issue. I have fallen asleep at work maybe a handful of times over the last...

A buddy of mine is trying to add an LCD screen to his car and needs to fill in the gaps of the bezel. He's been trying to use fiberglass to fill it in, but doesn't look so hot. I recommended he use Bondo. Unfortunately, I really don't know the first thing about Bondo. I see the modders here...

I know this topic may be a little outdated, but it's rightfully so. If many of you follow [H]otDeals, you may be familiar with the Dell SC420. Well it's Dell's dirt cheap entry-level server. Unfortunately, it has no support for 3d acceleration and lacks an AGP slot. The pcie 8x slot can be...

Hi all, I have a NIB Nintendo DS that I want to sell. I preordered 2, thinking one might not come in time for xmas. Well anyways, I tried to sell this on Ebay, but the buyer pulled out after the auction close. So now, I would like to sell this on the [H]. The boxes for both the DS and Madden...

I am currently using the onboard video in Windows XP on my SC420. I am currently using the video driver for Server 2003 that came bundled on CD. Do these drivers actually support Direct3D? I completely forget what Direct3D even is. I am trying to use an old screen saver and it reports that...

Ok, I have been cruising through Ebay and the FS/FT forum here for a "hardware" based raid5 controller card. Ideally I want the Promise SX4, with 4 250GB SATA HD's. The hard drives are not crucial, I just want a good price for the card. I'm looking to spend no more than $150 for it. Anyone...

Ok, I just purchased one of the Dell PE SC420 for like $230. Now I'm ready to raid5 her up. I'm almost positive that I will settle for the Promise SX4 as a controller. As for the hard drives...all I can afford right now is 3 Hitachi 7k250s. After I get my tax refund I will buy 2 more (1 to...

Here's the linkage: http://www.directron.com/a8nslid.html It's a whopping penny less than the ZipZoomFly deal.

I am trying to set up an HTPC running Linux and MythTV. I have very little linux experience, but am using this project as an opportunity to become very proficient in the alternative OS. But before I can start, I need to purchase the hardware. First and foremost, this box needs to be made as...

Well, I've had an Abit VP6 plus 2 P3 700's for about 3.5 years now. The processors are OC'd to 1GHz with moderate voltage increase (1.85V, i think) and only air cooling. It is definitely time for an upgrade. I was wondering what I could get for this setup plus 256mb of PC133 cas 3 sticks...

If so...could you post what driver versions you are using? My buddy has this system and he decided to bring the box over to play with my 32" S-video TV and 5.1 surround. Immediately after starting the game, everything was fucked up. I couldn't make out any of the menus as they were all white...
