Since I'm getting into programming and web programming, I am looking into getting a small low-cost server to test my stuff on. The server would also double as a file server, and occasionally a local game server. On it would be a web server, PHP, XML parser, and other stuff I need to develop my...

My new computer is giving me hell trying to install WinXP Professional. I have 2 60GB drives hooked up to a Promist Fasttrak TX2 in a RAID 0 array. Then I go to install Windows XP. I pop in the CD and it goes into setup. I install the drivers like asked (and says in the RAID card manual), then I...

I have to 60GB WD drives (new) connect to my Promis Fasttrak 100 PCI RAID controller (also new), but it say it isn't detecting any drives when I go to set up an array. I tried each hard drive separetly on my mobo's onboard controller, and each one is recognized, meaning they aren't dead. I...

Yeah, I know. Here's hoping.

First I tried my Athlon XP 1900+ in the Tyan Tiger MP motherboard, along withn the other components (see sig). I couldn't get it to POST. So, I RMA'ed the Tyan board and got a new one, but to no avail. Now I have the Shuttle Ak31A, but I still can't get the damn thing to post. Would the Tyan...

Who wrote the song with lyrics that go like this... "Where do we go from here, now that noby gives us a damn." I hate when I can't remember these things. :|

What kind of switch should I get for my home network. I need a good 10/100 8-port switch. My network will consist of two normal PCs, a file server, and cable internet, using a coyote linux router (which I'll make). I want an 8 port instead of 5 because I'll have friends of for a LAN party from...

<< If you run a Linux distro, and stay pretty well updated, I don't think you have all that much to worry about. >> I dunno about Linux, I don't have any experience with it. I thought about learning it, but don't have the time. Besides, because I'll have a lot of crucial data inside the...

Well, I want it out of the internal network because I'll be using it for a multitude of things. It'll do VPN, light web serving, email, act as a game server, and any other jobs that might come up in the future. I thought having something like that inside the network would be unsafe.

Guess I ought to have explained that better. :frown: Anywho, it would be a temporary place from a client to house their site for testing purposes. When everything is finished, the site would then be transfered to a permanent host. The server would also do other jobs such as email (personal)...

Right now I have a computer in my basement and one in my room (upstairs). In about a week we'll be getting cable, so naturally I'll set it up to share it. I also want to get a file server to backup my files with. and share movies, music, and applications. My files I'm making on my PC will be...

I'm looking into colleges, or any form of high education, for web developing and/or 3D animation. I'd really love tolearn both, but 3D animation would come first. I was thinking about Penn State, because I live in Pennsylvania and I heard they have a lot of technology programs up there. What...
