    Not to be an ass, but do you have any way of providing verification? I mean, this is the Internet after all, and while it doesn't make a world of sense that someone would just pick this up it would still be nice to know.

    WHS 2011

    I've got 2011 running in a VM right now before I install it on my server, but so far it seems like a pretty solid upgrade from v1. I'm currently using 2008 r2 and 2011 isn't really any different other than lacking some of the roles (full blown ADS). So far I've been able to set up SABnzbd and...

    Smoothwall and Active Directory

    Sorry I didn't specify more. I meant the latter, how to make sure the two play nice with the necessary DNS configurations. The last time I configured a domain controller was... lets see... about 8 years ago in my Win 2k Admin class. It has definitely been awhile. I've been wanting to configure...

    Smoothwall and Active Directory

    I've been looking at configuring ADS on my server running 2008 R2 and I was looking for some advice on properly configuring it at my smoothwall to work properly. The information I've been finding so far on Google University has been old and doesn't seem to match up to SmoothWall Express...

    Core i7 930 vs Xeon W3520

    I've found some comparisons since it seems that the Xeon's are becoming more popular for workstation machines, but again, nothing solid. I know that Dell has them in their Precision workstation series and I've seen a number of forum threads about people using them on A/V workstations. The bits...

    Core i7 930 vs Xeon W3520

    I'm actually in a similar debate, though I'm considering the E5620 (2.4ghz, 32nm, 12mb L3 cache) and I'm having problems finding solid reviews comparing the i7's and the westmere xeon's. Wasn't sure if the e5620 would be better/worse than the i7 930.

    Post your Smoothie/ipcop/etc. specs

    I have that server (though when I bought mine, it was a combo deal and not pre-built), and it works perfectly using smoothwall. I tried using Endian but it wasn't detecting the cards, and as it turned out there wasn't built-in drivers. I did find a guide to downloading and compiling the drivers...

    New Office - Server Room Updates #2

    Great job overall, especially on the wiring. My rack at home is nowhere near that clean! But I agree with the others that you put the money in the right places. If you can get away with saving a buck on using standard desktop equipment instead of expensive server grade stuff, go for it.

    pfsense in vmware on whs.. second nic for dedicated file sharing?

    It's definitely an intriguing idea... Thinking about moving my smoothwall onto my file server. Just not sure since I use my file server for converting video files to play on my phone/iPod.

    Western Digital 1.5TB WD15EADS HD Owners...

    So far the only issue I've had is on some 1080p mkv movies I've ran into some skipping. Haven't been able to figure out why. It's not the network (running an Intel server NIC in SLA), and the device (xtreamer) played flawlessly before. The only real different in the system is the RAID controller...

    Western Digital 1.5TB WD15EADS HD Owners...

    Just an update, got 4 of the WD15EADS drives from Newegg. Installed them as soon as they came in and one of the drives has bad blocks when I started to build the array. Went ahead and built it with the other 3 and everything works great. Getting the drive replaced from newegg and will add it to...
