Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Not arguing you can't find better performance, but there's no better value to be found that I know of.
I can't even start a build with a chassis for what this cost. Performance wise this thing is already overkill for a media file server as I'd use it...
Those are current selling prices for new components of course.
Even if you wanted to build with sandy/ivy bridge this chassis is worth $200 + shipping. Look at Google prices on that AIC: https://www.google.com/search?q=AIC+RSC-4ED2&tbm=shop
Everything else is bonus. 3TB x 24 is plenty of...
I don't know how this received no interest here, but this is indeed the steal of the year.
Motherboard is a SuperMicro X7DBE-X. Runs about ~$400 itself. Dual LGA771, comes with a single Xeon E5120 (or E5130 if you get the 2GHz version, doesn't seem worth it to me with much more power had...
I've had good luck using disParity for snapshot raid: http://www.vilett.com/disParity/
The GUI I've used: http://student.fau.edu/pbryan/web/dsm/, though the CLI is a snap.
Had a WD20EARS go bad, bought a new one, threw it in and recovered. Worked well.
Wow, that video is nuts. Some of the artifacts are familiar, the whole image shifting I haven't seen though.
Did you ever check to see how much warranty you had left on that service tag? I just checked mine and it expired two months ago. Chatting with CS to see if extending/upgrading is an...
I just swapped out the dual-link cable with another DVI cable, hence the 1280x800. I have also swapped video cards (nVidia to ATi for what it's worth).
The vertical band is always in the same place, but different on screen colors trigger it in different ways. Sometimes it will disappear...
Even better, nice find!
I was charged 6% tax. $749 - $112.35 (15% off coupon) = $636.65 + 6% Sales Tax = $674.85. Shipping was free.
I'm guessing you have 9% sales tax?
If ejunkie runs out, you can still pick one up for $10.98 on eBay- still a great deal I think.
Just pulled the trigger, $675 shipped- unbeatable for this price. I almost thought about dual 2407WFPs they had on there, would have been $45 more... but I didn't know any specifics about what they were precisely (not HC I would guess).
If you do get this, be sure to get the 15% off Dell Home...
