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.

Using it myself and gea, the author and developer, has a long thread on these forums as well as elsewhere.
ESX boots off whatever (raid1, SATA DOM, USB, whetever you use). napp-it VM has the HBA in exclusive use through vt-d and...
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...
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...
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.
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...
europe has the shitty silver one, north america has black only. stupid decission on samsungs end
if it were black here in europe too I'd be all over it, now I'm still deciding between the 215tw and vx2025wm
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
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...
you want something like this (page is in german) but images speak a thousand words
mind you, it will be more expensive than picking up a good case and quality psu
secondly 8 hdd's over 1 firewire link? have fun, that will slow as hell, esp. in raid5 setup
if you really want this - two...

but I'm interested in other solutions as well, as this is what I want to do as well - linux backend and windows frontend
