    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    Hi Guys, Here's my setup. I had been waiting to get these arms for a while. They're damn expensive but finally got them and worth every penny! :) I currently have a 22" wide and 17" normal aspect. My next plan is to get as big a screen as the arms will take and use 22" as a secondary in...

    Hi levk, Sorry about the delay in replying. I'm sorry to say that I got buried into other things over the past few months and had to put that project on the back burner for a while. It's on my resolution list for the new year ;) If I have any success i'll update this thread. Regards

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    Hi Guys, I noticed some people have posted setups with the IKEA Micke desk.. I'm planning on buying one of these desks to use with an Erogtron Dual Arm stand. Just wondering what the clearance at the back is like, would it allow me to clamp on the Ergo?? Any body wanna post a reverse angle...

    PCI Passthrough on ANY vm solutions?

    Ah ok, I'm not really sure I want to go through the hassle of learning to set up ESXi to find out I can use my PCI cards.

    PCI Passthrough on ANY vm solutions?

    Hi Guys, I'm desperately looking for a solution that will allow me to run a VM which allows the guest to directly access the PCI (PCIex) devices plugged into the Host machine. Currently I must run my media server software (SageTV) on the main install which as a result is limited to 4GB RAM...

    Advice on new proposed RAID setup..

    I think you confused the whole thread and everybody reading.. I was originally just asking peoples opinions on mixing two hard drives of different rotational speeds into a RAID 1 array. I'm quite familiar with the different levels of raid and how each one operates.

    Advice on new proposed RAID setup..

    :rolleyes: I would have thought the standard implementation of RAID 1 would give read speeds performance increases to a factor of nX (where n = number of drives) because once written the data is on all the drives.. Anyway.. will it really be that bad if the two speeds are different?

    Advice on new proposed RAID setup..

    Why isn't it a normal RAID1? Because the drives will spin at different speeds?

    Advice on new proposed RAID setup..

    It's a secondary drive. How do I go about installing the newer drivers? Just through windows or do I need to anything extra? Will I need to slipstream those drivers when installing Win7 or do they come included?

    Advice on new proposed RAID setup..

    Huh? Yea, I know, I have an ABIT IP35PRO that has the Intel ICH9R chip but I can't for the life of me get RAID1 to work. I tried lot's of things, but when I "successfully" build the array it tells me that one of the drives is a "non-raid-disk".. I even had the shop replace the drive...

    Advice on new proposed RAID setup..

    My bad, There's only a read benefit on RAID1 no write benefit. The array is just for my desktop development machine. I just want some redunancy so that if a drive fails I can still work away. I will have offsite (online) backups of my project work and I periodically archive projects to DVD...

    I'm not sure i'd agree with you on this. Mine is a little wobbly if I hit hard against it or smack it while playing Crysis online!! I most certainly wouldn't stand on it.. Saying all that they aren't bad for the price..

    Wiring home for nets/comms.. Structured wiring question.

    I agree, thats why I am asking about the uses of coax. I had though that I could pipe video around the house with easy using coax but I don't want to know about it if it's limited to SD video. The only use I can think of now is CCTV outside. But then again CAT6 would be better suited for this...

    Wiring home for nets/comms.. Structured wiring question.

    Ok, I hear you that I should probably run coax around the house but do I need it in every room? What could I need it for in the future? Also, i've been looking up those converters. They look a little pricey to be honest but i'm sure they're the only way to go for long distance HD! Do you get...

    Wiring home for nets/comms.. Structured wiring question.

    Hi, I think I asked about this a while back but the time has finally come for wiring the new house for all the goodies etc At the moment my plan is to go with CAT6 all over the house. At least one point/socket in each room. Then for the main rooms (kitchen/living,sitting and study/office)...

    I'm not saying that it effects transfer speed but the overall management of the file sharing will be severely lacking.

    small personal file server, vista or xp?

    What version of XP do you have, PRO or HOME?? Home sucks big time for filesharing. You can't manage users, permissions etc.. All you can do is just turn on filesharing and any shared folders can be accessed by anybody on the LAN. I must check out fastcopy, thanks!
