    Hey all, I've got a LSI 9260-8i card in my VMware server that I'm trying to configure as a RAID 6 array with 6 identical 2TB drives. The BIOS for the Raid controller detects all six drives and I can run the configuration wizard, but there is simply no selection available for RAID 6 even...

    I have a workstation that is set up to be used with exercise equipment, but I'm struggling with finding a proper way to provide a monitor for the workstation. Previously it was residing on a shelf which was about eye level when using the equipment - but after moving recently I'm looking for a...

    [H] DayZ game group

    Lets get organized! A few people have been wanting to get a few people to run with in DayZ (that zombie survival mod for Arma II that we all have a love/hate relationship with). I figure it's about time we make a list with the aim of facilitating [H] players in finding others to share their...

    Niche gamer soundoff!

    You know who you are. Your tastes in gameplay and what you enjoy about a game is different from others. You have a hard time enjoying many of the mainstream games, and often find yourself playing games that no one else has ever heard of, or that none of your friends play. Whatever the reason...

    Multiple install inc. SCCM, no network, one image

    Quite a title, I know. Seeing as how my career in IT is relatively young and some of these terms are over my head, I'll break it down to how I understand it, and see if anyone can point me in the right direction. While this current situation doesn't quite fall into the Networking and...

    Session timeouts mid-post = lost post

    I like the forums, yes I do. I like the forums and so do you. That aside, why is it that when I am writing a rather lengthy post, that my session times out and when I am finally ready to submit the post, I am prompted again for username and password, and my post data is not cached at all, so...

    Old dual AMD rig having issues with "newer" CPUs

    Ok, this is some old stuff, so here goes... I've got an older AMD Dually rig. It's using a Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P motherboard, and has been running dual AHX1200AMS3C CPU's (1.2 GHz of course) for many years now. It's reaching the end of it's usefulness, but I ran into a pair of AMSN2800UT4C...

    Oldschool 3D Relevators; still useful?

    Ok, so here's the deal... Back in about 1999 or 2000, I picked myself up a pair of Elsa 3D Relevator glasses(old page, don't trust all of the info) along with my GeForce2 GTS 64MB, which was just screaming back then. I had an absolute blast playing games with them, and did not suffer from...

    A bit of fun for you all...

    Recently, we've had a bit of an issue with our $10000 secondary backup tape drive system. So one of our ASP Administrators is in the datacenter, and he comments that it smells like something is burning. Being the dutiful Administrators that we are, we rush in to investigate. Sure enough...

    HTPC Sound solution

    So I've visited some of the links, browsed through several pages of history and haven't seen this question, even though I'm sure it's been asked before. I'm building a new HTPC for my folks, and am basing it off of the GA-MA78GM-S2H motherboard (with the built-in Radeon 3200 HD). Thing is...

    Virtual 3D Gaming

    Does anyone recall having used those 3D glasses with their games that create the effect of being truly 3D, by adding a false sense of depth to the 3D image displayed on the screen? I remember owning a pair of the 3D relevator glasses that did this, and playing through Half-Life and Opposing...

    Okay, so I've been tasked with finding Windows 2003 Server drivers for a gaggle of dell Optiplex 330's. Only problem is, aside from a functional driver for the network cards, I have been unable to find any! Dell conveniently has no drivers for this model that are said to work with Server...

    Westy 42W2 $999/37W3SE $799 free shipping at the egg

    May not be hot, but it's pretty warm for those in the market... Newegg has the 42W2 on clearance with free shipping as well. It's $999 at $500 off. I remember seeing these for ~$1100-1200 so it's not a huge discount, but it adds up when combined with the free shipping. Free shipping alone is...
