    Are Klipsch ProMedia amps prone to failure?

    First off, thanks for looking :) I have been using Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 speakers for a few years now. Prior to recently they performed flawlessly. One day when I turned them on they started making crackling noises and then degraded into nothing but static and popping sounds. All of the...

    What brand(s) of external SCSI RAID enclosure do you recommend?

    MrDigital, I couldn't agree more :cool: Case in point: I paid $50.00 each for these on eBay. I bought four of them and picked them up directly from the seller. She ended up giving me two extras for free (for a total of six) just in case I needed some "spare parts". She was thrilled...

    What brand(s) of external SCSI RAID enclosure do you recommend?

    Thank you for your post IceCzar. I have had a few ongoing, nagging issues with this CRU setup since I started tinkering with it. These problems dovetail perfectly with your point about an integrated solution. Originally my enclosure had a four bay backplane designed to use DataPort VI SCA...

    What brand(s) of external SCSI RAID enclosure do you recommend?

    Thanks for the additional info. Considering what's included, the price doesn't seem out of reach. Can you recommend a particular vendor who carries them?

    What brand(s) of external SCSI RAID enclosure do you recommend?

    Thanks for the info draksia. If you don't mind me asking, how much does an NStor setup like yours cost to buy and set up? I googled your model number but couldn't find much pricing info. My CRU subsystem was purchased piece by piece on eBay for pennies on the dollar, but I'm sure I won't get...

    Post your Speaker setup PICS!!!!!!

    Only two speakers are visible, but here is my home setup with Klipsch Promedia 4.1s. The Sennheiser HD250pro headphones are to avoid aggravating Mrs CJan :)

    What brand(s) of external SCSI RAID enclosure do you recommend?

    First off, thanks for looking as always :) I am looking to buy/build/configure an external SCSI RAID enclosure for a video editing PC and am seeking some help on the best enclosure to buy. The CRU enclosure on my home server works very well, but I don't know how well it stacks up...

    Bump back to front page. Does anyone have any ideas? Please :D

    Any idea where to find firmware updates for OEM Seagate SCSI HDDs?

    First off, thanks for looking as always :) I have several Seagate Cheetah 10K RPM ST118202 LC and LW 18.2g SCSI drives. A few of them are RAIDed, and a couple of others are used as standalone disks behind an Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI controller. They are all roughly the same vintage, and have...

    UPS quality: How does Liebert stack up against other brands?

    Thanks for the help guys. I just finished installing two of them under my desk. I'm very impressed with the features and runtime compared with what I had before. There is a lot of stuff in the documentation like sine wave power conditioning etc that I haven't figured out yet, but so far...

    UPS quality: How does Liebert stack up against other brands?

    First off, thanks for looking as always :) I probably should have asked this questions before I bought them, but the deal was great and I couldn't say no (I could always return them if they're subpar). How do Liebert rackmount UPSs stack up against other brands of similiar size and type? I...

    LSI vs Adaptec low end SCSI RAID controllers. Opinions?

    Ahh, okay then. Since I just figured out the difference between SATA and PATA this PCI-X vs PCI Express is probably way over my head :D If you can imagine a chimp assembling a 747 then you'll have a pretty good mental picture of me configuring my first SCSI RAID5 array... During my very...

    LSI vs Adaptec low end SCSI RAID controllers. Opinions?

    Thanks for the additional info. I've noticed a reference to "PCI-X" on some higher end controllers. Is that the same thing as PCI Express?

    LSI vs Adaptec low end SCSI RAID controllers. Opinions?

    I didn't know that :eek: Thanks for the info! The 64bit cards looked too big to fit in a standard 32 bit slot. Does a part of the larger card just overhang the smaller slot? If that's the case I could always cancel the order and order a larger U320 card with an eye toward the future. I'm...
