The case moding bug has bit me and I am going to be using a Lian Li A71 case to create a GPU server. I have stripped the A71 down to the basic aluminum frame. The motherboard I am using is the Asrock H510 BTC which is not a standard MB size. It is a 20.1-in x 8.8-in (50.1 cm x 22.4 cm). The...

My main rig has two SSDs in RAID0 and 4 Hard Disks in a RAID10 all on the Intel Controller on the ASUS P8P67 Pro. The motherboard was replaced after the Intel SandyBridge chip-set issue. One of the disks in the HD array started failing (SMART errors). I had an unused cold-back-up hard disk...

Folks: What do the infrastructure guys think about this trend? These guys are putting storage in side the server to provide scale out architectures in a box similar to what the big cloud guys (Google, Amazon etc.) do internally. They seem to be doing well in the VDI space. How do you think...

I am replacing the 2 pin 80mm fan with a 3 pin 80mm fan. The original fan was attached using these plastic push-pins which I presume help dampen the noise. I am not sure how to reuse them. The way they are now, they are too wide to be pushed in. Are these one time use? Or do I use a plier...

I want to rearrange some of my SSDs and had a general question about the Intel Rapid Storage Technology and portability of the array. From what I have read, with IRST, you can simple take your drives to a new motherboard, plug them in, enable RAID mode in BIOS, and the Intel ROM, and once you...

I had heard about Vista Bloat but never realized it was so bad. I have a Dell Insipiron 1420 laptop with VHP 32Bit. This is used for web-surfing, netflix etc. primarily content consumption tasks. The disk has about 140GB used. I wanted to put a SSD to replace the boot disk but was being held...

I finally got a true gaming card an HD6870 ASUS. The box I got was not in the shrink wrap and the card was outside the anti-static bag. Gave them an earful. They agreed to accept a return or give me 20-30% off. I thought I will test out the card. I am playing DIRT3. In my effort to get to the...

I am a noob when it comes to gaming driven cards but I have seen some good deals on the 48xx series cards which do not support DirectX 11. What I wanted to understand is what it means in practice. I will most likely use the card for strategy games like Civilization, racing games like Dirt...

I was wondering how the SB i3 compares with the i5 in regular day to day home usage. It will primarily be used for web-browzing, collecting photos, videos etc. Mainly for content consumption, with some media editing. The i3 is dual core but it has hyper-threading. So when you are not CPU...

I am making a backup workstation which needs to drive a multiple monitor array. My main rig has two HD5670s. This time I want to go with a single card which can drive at least 4 monitors and will allow me to explore the word of gaming. The HD6870 seems to be a good choice. 1. I noticed that...

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0334239 This was $75 at Best Buy a few weeks ago. Most other places is 100+.

Good deal, especially for a SFF since this is on the smaller side. Does not have too many cables so non-modular will also be OK. It is from a retailer that is not welcome here so deleted...

I noticed that there are some full size cases which support two PSUs. I am curious on how they work electrically. One application would be redundancy but that would require some form of parallel drive circuitry where both the PSUs power the machine with automatic fall over. Please educate...

I have a very basic question. A lot of after market air coolers have heat pipes which go up to a radiator like structure with a fan. The Hyper 212 is a great example. I was reading about the thermal solution in the Shuttle bare-bone PC and there ICE-2 cooling. They say that the heat pipe...

I currently have a P67/2600K rig which has two graphic cards driving three monitors each. I am in the process of assembling a second rig and the impulsive choice was the Z68. However, I have been wondering whether a P67 with a discrete card might be more appropriate instead of using a Z68...
