    Dell U2515H

    Have 4 of these at my desk at work. No image issues or power supply whining. Anyone think we'll ever see this drop to $300?

    Are you using Windows or OS X scaling? What %?

    Dell U2515H

    How small is text without scaling on these panels? I'm considering a pair that would mostly be used for development. I currently have a pair of 23" 1080p and 24" 1920x1200 screens. I don't have room for dual 27" screens on my desks and I'm worried that I wouldn't be gaining much real estate...

    File server upgrade path: Stay with hardware RAID or move to new-fangled file system?

    Would you create 11 different, randomly allocated directories (because attempting to name the single-drive subdirectories by name, genre, date, etc would be a fool's errand) if you had an infinitely large disk? Of course not. I realize you can create symlinks, but still unless you want your...

    I'm curious... about your storage

    Does that include lossless audio? I'd think a lot of people going to to the trouble of building large storage arrays for movies probably aren't listening through TV speakers or cheap HTIBs.

    File server upgrade path: Stay with hardware RAID or move to new-fangled file system?

    So assuming 13 2TB drives, would snap raid support dual disk parity while exporting a single volume instead of 11-13? That's the PITA I'm referring to.

    File server upgrade path: Stay with hardware RAID or move to new-fangled file system?

    It stores basically all of my data: media (music, movies, & pictures), other machine backups, VMs, development work, documents, etc. Capacity wise, movies dominate since it stores rips of my entire blu-ray collection. Only for portions of the server. Things like blu-rays are not backed up...

    File server upgrade path: Stay with hardware RAID or move to new-fangled file system?

    I've been using 3-Ware cards for my home file servers since the dawn of time. My current server is running a 9550SXU-12 (PCI-X) with 12 2TB drives in RAID 5. I've had this card for a couple of years and have been slowly adding new drives as it filled up, taking advantage of online capacity...

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Anyone have issues with the drive indicator lights on the 4224? I I have about 8 pairs that don't light up when drives are connected. Even though the LEDs don't light up, the drives still work. Has anyone attempted to repair them? I'm well outside of my return period and don't want to buy...

    Did you ever figure out what was going on with the DTS:Neo function not upmixing over the analog outputs of your sound card?

    Question for B-Enspirer and other C-Media CMI8788 card owners...

    I realize this thread is ancient, but I'm having the exact same problem using the C-Media reference drivers for windows 7 released in February of this year. Any ideas? I'm using this in a car, so the SPDIF output isn't an option.

    WTB: 4-8 Sticks of PC3200 (DDR400) ECC Registered RAM

    I'm looking to pick up either 4 or 8 sticks of PC3200 ECC for an old socket 940 server. I'm only interested in single stick capacities >= 1GB. I really only need 4 sticks, but if the price is right, I would consider picking up 8.

    Do I have any other options other than HDMI sound cards for my desired setup

    I have a GTX 280. I don't think it will encode EAX into a multichannel stream over EAX unless I'm missing something.

    Do I have any other options other than HDMI sound cards for my desired setup

    I'm in the midst of setting up a distributed A/V system throughout my house. I am matrix'ing several HDMI sources, including my computer, to several different rooms in my house. I need to ensure that my computer is passing an audio stream over its HDMI output so I can decode it through my...

    Home wiring question

    I'm going to update the wiring in my bedrooms and my family room, and would like to make things as future proof as possible. I will have an A/V & networking closet set up that will feed all of the rooms. What I'm thinking about is wiring each room with 4 drops of Category 6, 2 drops of RG6, and...

    Looking for PC game closest to Dungeons & Dragons as possible

    You didn't say whether or not you wanted a newer game, but here are some suggestions if you don't mind old school gaming: Dark Sun: Shattered Lands (My all-time favorite) Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager Ravenloft: Strahd's Possesion Menzoberranzan

    Adv. of 2x1gig over 2x512?

    I don't know anything about video processing, but if it is memory intensive or you run other things at the same time, the extra memory could reduce paging. It's not difficult to consume 1GB of memory in XP.

    Is a glossy screen really that bad?

    Same here. Although, glare is also an issue indoors during the day.

    I also use Irfanview. Very handy, and you can batch rename at the same time.

    What to install first?

    The only time you would need to install "hard drive" drivers before Windows is if you were installing on a RAID that the installation CD doesn't detect.

    Screen Got Too big--Can't find my mouse pointer

    We had a similar problem at work with our test stations that had two 24" widescreens. The application suite used opened up a zillion windows and it was very easy to lose the mouse icon. Eventually somebody changed it so the mouse icon would grow about 5 times larger when it was hovering over...

    Does look nice, but I'd have a hard time buying another MS mouse after my last two each developed clicking issues about a month into ownership.

    Is my P/S is adequate for my Hardware

    Yeah, definitely get a name-brand PSU. If you monitor deal forums, you can sometimes get an Antec case with an Earthwatts PSU for the same price as the PSU itself (basically a free case).
