Laughably looks like I was also probably eating the Zinger Tower Stack last night around the same time as rob's posting! Now on the Shreddies hoping to take away the heartburn from last night...

Hi All, In the middle of building out a machine for a relative and came to fitting the PSU above bought from yours truly. However I was shocked to find a 2 pin power lead supplied with the PSU. I'm not to sure what my options are in this situation, I can only assume the PSU will function...

Prolimatech Blue, I CHOOSE YOU!

Say I opt not to use pfsense as a front end security, how would I secure my network host from being accessed from the "outside" world, a second nic with only the network host on it, and just directly plug that into say my desktop to be managed from here? I think my problem is I do not have a...

Hey guys, Wondering if anyone has any experience in setting up esxi5 to use one single port nic to act as a front end WAN (with a pfsense vm on this network) and then have a LAN network internally where the other vms will reside, including the management host? I can technically set up 2...

Cheers for the comments guys, went ahead and ordered the 1port nic for now until funds allow for further upgrades down the line ;)

hey guys, i'm trying to get esxi installed after finally getting all my hardware, however the install fails to detect a network adapter. i realise if your NIC isn't recognised then the install will not continue. I am using the following mobo...

Uhtred, I'm assuming because you use DRM to pass them to Freenas that any other vm's on your server cannot access those drives nor that raid?

I should add that my intention is to have a seperate disk from the raid where the OS etc will be stored. I will need to test this tomorrow as I'm waiting for a delivery of equipment currently, this is pre-emptive to me trying the install, from what i've read there shouldn't be a problem with...

Hi guys, I'm about to setup my own home server using Esxi5 as the base, now the problem is I want to run my drives in raid for some redundancy, however I've been doing some reading and I know that you cannot use the motherboard raid as it counts as a software raid which Esxi doesn't support...

I must say the SG05 seems really amazing and I thank you guys for the suggestions, however my sister went with the "prettier" option in the prodigy in the end, even though I offered her both alternatives! Though I'll certainly be tempted to make a build into an SG05 when time permits :)...

Cheers for all the suggestions guys, I'll try and take them all into consideration. Unfortunately I realised just after posting last night that I forgot to include a PSU, but given it was already 3am I was hitting the sack! So LED > LCD monitors, duely noted! Although a tight squeeze, is...

So my sister is looking for a sub £500 gaming rig, which will fit an mini-itx case, this is what I'm looking at so far and wondering if you reckon it'll all play nice in the case, and also if that card is up to the task? Any suggestions are welcomed! Iiyama ProLite E2208HDS 22" Widescreen LCD...

Decided I'd through it up here considering I spent the last 4 hours trawling through old picture collections to find it! Enter an elf from lord of the rings, preparing for battle! Scout group had a lord of the rings themed camp one year, our Scouts went as elves... we have a lot of fun...

Any ruling of using an image taken a good few years back when I was a kid? Got a nice roleplaying one to get up :)

I know this might sound off, but I'm struggling to find anywhere listing these at a value where you'll be getting them for £90 after the cashback... Anyone mind pointing me in the right direction of a trusted seller offering the cashback?

I'm in it to win a Corsair Vengeance M60 mouse!

Latest update: Booted up GParted on a usb pen drive and got that running, however the only drive it actually showed me was itself, not the SSD or the original HD in the laptop.... Also something to now, suddenly the BIOS discovered the SSD again with the proper capacity, but as soon as I...

I will try this when I get home tonight from work and reply with the result, i'm hoping this might be a solution, but i'm sceptical as the drive isn't often ever shown on the bios to begin with.

Hey guys, Kinda looking for some advice here, I have an older Asus G50V and I went ahead and ordered the Vertex2 from OC to give it a speed boost, but it seems after the first attempted format the drive is goosed. I ran through the windows formatting utility, set up the 2 partitions...
