    Looking a t LSi Megaraid 8708EM2 for SSD raid....yay or nay?

    Probably not an issue in home use but SSDs without power loss protection and RAID card without BBU is asking for trouble, even if server UPS should catch most power-loss situations. Card is 3Gb only, SAS2, so you are limiting your drives. Cheap and ESXi supported, according to HCL, however It...

    High capacity 2.5 inch drives?

    I'm waiting for the Seagate 4-5TB 2.5" Baracude compute to become in stock, so far few if any sell them in Europe. I assume February until mass availability which should reduce the price too as they are at 47Eur/TB. Plan to pick up 2 or 4 of them, to replace old 1TB WD greens from 2008 and 4TB...

    Deus Ex : Mankind Divided

    Just buy a bunch of 500/1TB SSDs for game storage. Cheaper drives like 850 EVO are perfectly fine for games and are often on sale. Not having spindles in the main rig is awesome and steam handles multiple libraries/drives just fine.

    Looking for a solid 1200w PSU

    I'm also buying a 1200W next week and I'm getting the EVGA P2. It should be quieter than the SeaSonic, which is loud once under load (>70%ish). Have considered the HX1200i myself which should be quieter than the EVGA. The i-line features are minimal on the HX, imho, and thus irrelevant. Plus...

    Abit KN8 SLI, good mobo?

    isn't the kn8 line the more cheaper line of K8 mobos from Abit?? AFAIK KN8 did not replace AN8, it's more of an alternative, but cheaper that said, I'm not sure where the savings are, as the kn8 has a heatpipe for chipset too, but it looks different and less eficient for me

    Thermaltake Armor vs Antec P180

    i have the armor for my server box and I wish I spent slightly more $ and gotten the CM stacker . The armor is nice but has quite bit of a heat trap in the lower left (where pci cards are) - you should put a slow blower or cut out a bit of the case to accomodate one to draw the hot air out. It's...
