Hi, A basic question regarding "best practice" when it comes to placement of the OS on a file server. I've put together a RAID 10 storage array on 4x WD Black 1TB hard drives. This will be for an office environment with 5 PC's accessing the files. My original plan was to create a 50-100gb...

Budget is enough to get 6 or 8 SATA II or SATA III 7200 RPM hard drives. Pricing seems fairly close to one another on the HDD side; havent researched MB's yet. I dont need more than 2 TB at the moment. So... hypothetical situation... if I got a motherboard with onboard RAID and the...

I'm looking to replace the 2K3 Server with a more updated OS, due to the growing compatibility issues with new software being made. Currently my 2K3 computer supports a 10-PC office with two duties - 5-User Quickbooks Enterprise via Remote Desktop, 500GB file server, and Microsoft Office...

Hello! I'm looking for assistance in choosing an optimal raid card & setup for my small office environment. With my knowledge being little to none (built only 1 RAID setup in the last 5 yrs) its fairly difficult for me to select something appropriate. As a background - I put together and...

Hi guys thanks for your replies. The computer shuts down when the temp hangs out around 57C for a few minutes. bobalong- what setup do u have? I dont want something thats gonna sound like a hair dryer. I bought a few of the large copper heatsinks that were recommended. It cools well, but dust...

Update - its now at 57c, I think it'll shut down soon :(

This question is for outdated equipment for anandtech standards, but I figure I ask anyways :) I have a barebone computer I built for simple home use, with a AMD XP1800+ CPU. Lately it has been shutting down randomly, and I think it's because of overheating issues. I tried doing a search but...

Hello, I'm having the toughest time trying to find a good and reliable webserver to host some sites. So far, I've switched around 4-5 webhosts from $8/mo to $80/mo, none seems to work very well, probably because of the fierce compeittion. I used yahoo, it was good but the database connection...

My CDrom drive is not working in optimal conditions... It's an asus 52x and reads between 10-15x. The Plextor 52X cdwriter I use isn't working properly either, the CD's dont burn properly regardless of program I use. Can anyone help? Thanks

I was wondering if someone can point me to a link with the IDE utility program as mentioned in one of the previous posts. Unfortunately the link got taken down. My problem is very slow CDROM drives (2mb read for a 52x Asus) Thanks, Peter

There was two posts regarding compatibility of Boston Acoustics speakers w/ this board, more specifically, the speakers do not receive anything from neither the digital nor analog outputs... With regular earphones it works just fine... Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? I don't want...

Wow, I got Linksys to ship me a new unit. It's so funny how I pass by linksys almost every single day =\ I'll keep the new linksys for awhile and see what happens. (Woohoo, i will have 2 refurbished linksys products soon haha)

It's for a home office and the switch is connected to 3 computers that are always on. I don't have any power surges I know of, and it's surge protected... Unit is next to a window away from direct sunlight, and temps do not rise above 75 or so.. Socal, so not too bad on the humidity...

Yep... I borrowed a switch from my roommate and the problem was isolated to the Linksys switch. Took about 2 hrs for me to realize that something on the network is slower than normal, and another hour or so to isolate to the switch. I'm actually surprised you prefer linksys hehe... The first 2...
