    Adding external storage to HP Proliant G7

    The Proliant is a 2U HP server, I'd have to look and see if there are any open SAS channels to work with. The ESXI from VMware creates a datastore that can be used by all virtual servers. Something like this could work I guess, if the card can fit in a 2U rackmount...

    Intel pc constant lockups

    Well I finished my pc build this spring and the past 3 months I have barely been using it. I'll be doing anything on my computer, live tv, internet, music, sitting idle.

    Intel stock cooler temps on i7 860

    Which intel would you recommend?

    Worth it to buy Intel or wait?

    Yeah thats my current dilemma. I can get a xeon x3440(i7 860) for 240 shipped from newegg, or I can wait a month and pick up a 860 for HOPEFULLY 200 when I'm on vacation which has a microcenter in town.

    Hows Life?

    I work IT at my college too, and when I mentioned to the IT manager that we should setup folding he told me that a few years back an IT guy got fired by the state for using the comp labs at the capital building for folding!
