    Web Content monitor

    Does anyone know of any free solution you can place just before our firewall in an office that would monitor all traffic? I'm looking for something that would basically monitor what users in the office are doing with a connection into AD / DNS to resolve the IP to a machine name or username.

    Just looking for some opinions. I primarily use my personal laptop to listen to podcasts & music at work and do some homework during downtime. Would the constant streaming of music for 8-10 hours a day accelerate the death of a modern SSD drive?

    LAN Speed Test

    Just curious what kind of numbers people are putting up in their home using just a standard PC (no raid or SSD) to PC (no raid or SSD) test via gigabit switch? I understand both NICs have to be gigabit and cat6 cables should be used as well to optimize the speed. I'm just curious if 7200 HDs in...

    Just curious if anyone has built any ESXi systems using a Phenom II Black Edition compatible mobo. I've found some fairly inexpensive mobos for the chip to get my started.

    Difference between 120hz LED monitor and 240/120hz HDTV

    So is there an difference between a 120hz LED monitor and the 240/120 hz HDTVs we see sold? As in could you just hook up a PC via the HDMI to a TV and run 120hz and get the same as one of the 120hz LED monitors? I haven't found anything online saying if there's a difference. If you've got a link...

    HDTV + Gaming PC

    So I've got a media room (man cave the wife calls it) that I'm in the process of building out. I'd like to put a 47"- 55" LCD/LED TV on the wall and run my pc off of it for gaming and also for watching movies and such as well. Is this basically a lost cause due to input lag? Are there any HDTVs...
