    LSI RAID0 Confusion....

    I have installed 2 Crucial 256GB C300 drives on an LSI 9240-4i SATA6 Gb/s expansion card and the results are rather disappointing. Here's the card with a single drive.... And this is the card with two drives in RAID0.... I'm a novice with this card but as you can see the 4K and...

    When is "Free" not "Free"? --AKA FREE UPS

    Short and sweet, AAR, here's the deal...I have one of these and the batteries died. I bought a larger unit and have no need for the old one BUT it will take $70.00 dollars worth of batteries to get it working. I got the 70.00 price from here. The battery is model SLA1056 and it needs five...

    Wadda Think?

    I bought this HP branded Intel 80GB G1 on 9/3/2009 and was having problems with it dropping from the array. I got this from a bootable test CD..... The drive tests well with the Intel toolbox but I can't load an OS. Since this is an Intel branded HP drive I called HP on Friday and...

    Are larger HDs more susceptible to failure?

    Are larger HDs more susceptible to failure mechanically or otherwise? I would have thought since most of these 1TB+ monsters are the 5400rpm "Green" drives, there would be less mechanical stress and longer lasting drives? Or is it just some inherent problem with 1TB+ mechanics regardless...

    KVM Switch + Wireless?

    I've been poking at the idea of a KBM switch for my main machine and WHS box. I use a wireless Logitech KB and mouse combo and at first glance, nothing seems to be guaranteed wireless compatible. I'm looking at USB units in the 100.00 to 200.00 range but it doesn't seem to make a...

    I suppose this is the right section. It's always been free, but if you're wanting to try WHS, it's now avaliable for DL from your friends at MS. The link is here. This OS is pretty nice and at this price everyone should at least try it.

    HP EX470 MediaSmart Server-299.00+ship

    Nice deal. Office Max has the HP EX470 MediaSmart Server for $299.00 plus shipping.. Looks like online only. PS. Even though it's online only, it seems to be limited to certain geographical areas. To me, that doesn't make any sense but that's how it's coming down. Put your zip code in...

    Would this count as phone harassment?

    Seems my 37yr old stepson has made another bone-head move by stiffing one of those cash advance places. I have very little contact with him and normally, one more crappy circumstance he's put himself into wouldn't bother me. But this time he's given them his mom's phone number as a...

    What's up with this?

    I was doing a good deed yesterday and gave an old buddy a printer I'd had sitting around. He called later in the day and asked how to install it.....I knew there'd be trouble. It's an older Canon F60 connected by USB to an Asus A8N-SLI Premium motherboard. Should be no problem, but no...

    Cisco Router Question

    I'm looking for a Cisco wireless router. I've narrowed my selection to the model 851W-G-A-K9. I've run across a few models 851W-G-A-K9-OB, with the OB meaning "open box". I've found a gent with a model 851W-G-A-K9-VO1 for sale. Anybody know what VO1 means? Thanks!

    NewEgg has the Rosewill RC-213 Silicon Image PCIe SATA controller card for $20.00 + $4.99 shipping minus a $20.00 rebate = $4.99. This card also does a coupla funky RAID modes, but the big draw is the eSATA hotswap. Dying to use that new external with the eSATA port? This fits the bill at a...

    Corrupted Compaq?

    I was called to assist a friend with his 4-5 yr. old Compaq desktop system. The problem is when the system is first booted it lags on the Compaq logo screen for @ 15 mins, then goes to the Windows welcome screen and loads normally. While displaying the Compaq logo screen, there's no HDD activity...

    Lian Li PC-A10B Fan Filters?

    I received my Lian Li PC-A10B yesterday and it's definately a class act. The construction and materials make my current "Tsunami Dream" look more like a "Ripple Nightmare". At any rate, there's no dust filtering included with the stock case and I think it would be prudent to install some before...

    Mix and Match - Mice and Keyboards?

    I'd like to purchase a Logitech diNovo laser desktop combo but use my MX1000 mouse. Will it work, and would I be able to use just the MX1000's base unit, or will I be forced to use both receivers?

    External Hard Drive Temps

    I have an external Coolgear SATA case running a 250 GB WD HD. The HD ran all day long at 37 degrees when it was installed in my case. When running and connected to an external Sata port, Hard Disc Sentinel reports a temp. of 50 degrees. It would probably go higher if I ran it longer. I bought...

    XP Pro Smooth Scroll

    I would appreciate a little assistance. I have XP Pro w/SP2 installed and it doesn't seem to like smooth scrolling. Any movement, up or down, on a page results in a screen "refresh". A bar goes from the top to bottom, or bottom to top, depending on the scroll direction I request. Other...

    Sound Blaster Cable

    I have a Sound Blaster 2 ZS Platinum in a TT Tsunami case with side window. Is there a round replacement made for the flat cable that connects the card to the unit in the front of the case? I thought it was just a floppy cable, but when I removed it to replace it, the pins didn't seem to match...
