I have several spinning hard drives that I don't need and I'm hoping someone else does. These are almost all pulls from new OEM computers that were replaced with SSDs - basically brand new, but the warranty is with the machine they were installed in, so not transferrable. I will post prices...

I have a pile of 500GB Desktop/3.5" 7200RPM 32GB Cache Seagate Compute hard drives to get rid of. These are all pulls out of new machines that were upgraded to SSD. They would be under warranty only with the machine that they were originally installed in, so I am selling them as-is...

I am not a design guy. I can do some basic VB/.net code behind, but it's really not my thing. I paid to have a site design updated a few years ago, and it has worked well. However, somewhere along the line I broke some css that is causing some issues with a js menu on mobile devices. It...

I have a customer that has asked me for some assistance working with one of their vendors on a connectivity issue. The vendor manages a pair of redundant firewalls at the client location for connectivity to their datacenter. They have been having problems getting the firewalls to fail over...

I have been in IT in the public sector for ~10 years now, and worked in government several years before that. I have always been aware of Microsoft auditing networks for software compliance, but have never dealt with anyone that has been subject to one. Within the last couple months, I have...

This thread got me thinking about wireless solutions. In particular, we have a decent sized client that is due for an upgrade (hopefully later this year) and I'm not 100% sure what to recommend. We deal mostly with Unifi for our other clients, but they are mostly smaller and don't heavily rely...

I posted to the UBNT forums trying to figure out a config, but haven't gotten much response. I have more confidence in [H]. Here's the original thread: I am having some issues separating SSIDs via VLAN with Unifi and a Toughswitch. They are connecting to a ZyXel USG40 gateway with two...

I have a customer that needs to put a server in a room that has no physical security. They have no other options that are temperature controlled. I am trying to find a cabinet so that we can at least lock the machine up and provide some protection, but I am having trouble finding something...

I have a small public library customer that is looking for some security/surveillance/management software for their public use pcs. I'm not familiar with any of the products out there, so I'm hoping someone here has some experience with them. They only have two public access machines, so can't...

I'm looking for some recommendation on a NAS to deploy for a client with a few small branch offices. They have an existing Windows Server network, so integrating with AD is a must. I would prefer one that is Windows Storage Server based, so I can use some of the other features like the print...

I have a site that needs a refresh. I just need the HTML/CSS, I will reuse/recode the backend myself. The current site is a functional, bland, non-compliant hack that I threw together myself 7-8 years ago. It has served it's purpose, but it's time to move forward. I'm looking for a new...

I have had a Google AdSense banner on one of my sites for a few years. It doesn't make me a ton of money, but it pays for a good share of the hosting. The ads that Google has been serving have taken a turn for the malicious, and I've been spending too much time trying to block the bad ones...

I support quite a few small businesses, and have gotten by fairly well so far without any extra software, but I am working on a lead for a new account that is a bit bigger than most of my other customers, with multiple branches. A good MSP solution should help me save them money and provide...

Let me preface this post by saying that I am a PC guy through and through. My experience with Macs is very limited, but with the help of Google, I can usually make them do what I need to...not in this case. I have a customer with a MBP that had a hard drive go belly up during a Lion upgrade...

I have a few BNIB Samsung 840 SSDs sitting here that I bought for customer projects that went a different route. I need to get rid of them before I'm tempted to use them myself and eat the cost. These are all brand new - sealed in the original box and carry the full manufacturer warranty...

I run a site that is in need of a facelift. To this point, I have done everything on the site myself, but I am not much of a designer. As the site grows, I would like to make it a little more eye-catching and browser independent. I don't want anything complicated, but I don't have the time or...

I bought a used Xbox with a bunch of games that I will never play, so I would like to recoup some of my cost. UPDATE: Ok, let's change gears. I have updated the OP with prices. These are the Amazon marketplace prices with shipping -25% and rounded to the nearest .50. Shipping is...

I have a customer that needs a wireless bridge and security camera in a remote location with no power available. Total power needed should be 10-12W. The camera uses 5V, the AP uses 24V, so a 120V source would be best, even with the inefficiencies. I could possibly switch to a 24V camera, but...

I have a very small customer that is looking to replace an ancient wrt54g with a new router with VPN capability so that one remote user can connect with an ipad. The old router has enough horsepower for them, so they don't need anything special at all (sorry Untangle folks). That said, none of...

I am not a web developer. I can do some .net/vb stuff when I need to, but when it comes to css and making things show up when and where I want to, I am pretty incompetent. I host a site (kbjm.com) for a customer of mine, and they are having an issue with a hover menu showing up right in...

I have an accounting customer that is looking to send documents (tax returns, payroll forms, etc) securely. This is a fairly small firm, with only a few of the employees sending these emails, so an appliance is likely not justified. They would prefer a product that doesn't require much effort...

I have an older Asus P5Q Pro board that I use in an ESXi test box. I currently have 4x2GB in it, but could use some more to add some extra VMs. Unfortunately, the board doesn't support ECC/buffered ram, so server ram is a no-go. Speed is not a huge concern, but I would like something of...

Since the stickied remote support software thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere and I need to get a solution in place, I'm starting this thread to get the conversation started again. I have used and like TeamViewer, but before I fork out the cash I want to see if there are cheaper...

Like the title says...One of my distributors is trying to push me to be a RingCentral reseller pretty hard and wants me to come to a training 400 miles away next week to check it out. I'm trying to decide if it will be worth the trip for me. We currently do IT sales and consulting, and...

I am trying to virtualize as many of the boxes sitting around my office as possible to ESXi 5, but I'm unsure as to how to configure one of them, and I need some advice from those of you that are more familiar with this than I am. The machine is question serves as a recorder/archiver for all...

I'm playing around with a new storage system for my in-house esxi host (running SBS11, untangle, and a couple VMs for testing) and getting some strange results that I can't explain and was hoping the experts could help me out. I have a PERC6i controller and 4 Samsung 2tb F4 drives. I am...

I have a web app that uses the asp.net membership provider for authentication. It was working great, but I just moved to a new VPS host (upgraded from 2003 to 2008R2), and now the authentication timeout settings are not working correctly and users have to re-login every few minutes of...

I'm looking to give an aging ABIT P35-Pro machine a little more pep, and would like to throw in a quad-core cpu to go along with some other goodies that I have. I would like a Q6600, Q9450 or Q9550, but other models would also be considered. I would prefer a chip that hasn't been over-volted...

I've got a unique request from a client. They have a SBS08 network covering three locations, and everything is working fine. They are accountants, however, and need to go on-site to a client's office once in a while to perform audits that can take a couple days. They rarely have internet...

I'm looking for an easy/cheap way to block spam from ever leaving my network. With the uptick in virii/spyware lately, I have had quite a few spambots coming into the shop to get cleaned up. Some of them because the ISP has shut them down for sending spam. Once in a while (twice in the last...

I'm working on spec'ing out a new build for one of my customers to upgrade their outgrown infrastructure and I'm kicking around a lot of ideas for backups. Specs aren't final yet, but there will be somewhere around 2TB of user accessible storage and 5 servers to back up (3 physical, 2 virtual)...

I know similar questions have been asked before, but I can't seem to find anything referring to this card specifically, so I would like a little input if anyone has some experience with it. I have a customer that is running a Dell PE SC1430 with a Perc 5\i card that seems to have gone belly...

I have a friend that is going to be recording an independent album soon, and approached me about getting a site up to sell them. I resell hosting, so getting a site up is not a problem, but I was wondering if there are any decent services that cater specifically to this type of customer...

I've been selling the retail and OEM versions of NOD32 in my shop for about 4 years now because it is a great product, and I could buy them in volume at Newegg at a good enough price to make a decent margin on them at MSRP. Newegg isn't giving volume discounts on them anymore, so I need to look...

I recently inherited a Dell PowerEdge SC1420 that I plan to use as a test rig for SBS 2008. It has a CERC SATA 1.5 6ch controller in it (rebadged Adaptec). The controller supports RAID 5 and I had three 500GB Seagate ES.2 drives laying around, so I assumed that would be the way to go...

I am looking to put up a website to go with my B&M store selling computers, electronics and office supplies. I don't need tons of bells and whistles, but the ability to integrate with my distributors (D&H, TechData, Synnex, DBL, SuppliesNetwork and SP Richards) for inventory and pricing would...

I just picked up a new customer today that has an existing 2k8 standard AD domain, but would like to add exchange server, and possibly SharePoint. They only have 30 users, so they would be a great fit for SBS, but I'm not sure how or if it will work. Microsoft has this...

From what I can see, it looks like SBS08 is supported as a VM on a HyperV server, but a quick google shows some problems with Untangle. Has anyone tried this? I'm a newb to Untangle, so I don't really know what to expect. I'm sure it would probably work with VMware, but I don't see where...

I'm self-taught in SQL, so please forgive the crudeness of what I'm trying to do. I manage an asp.net app with a MS SQL 2005 database that is used to enter event registrations for an organization I belong to. Each entry becomes a new row in the database, and that all works great. The only...

I have a $500 Home Depot gift card that I got from the rewards program for my credit card. The problem is, the closest Home Depot is 400 miles from me. I'd like to either sell the card, or trade it for something useful to me. It is brand new, unused and still has the pin number intact I...
