    Power Supply "blank"/cover?

    I'm using a pico like PSU, but have a normal case. It doesn't have a normal power supply so there is a gaping hole were one should go. Is there such a thing as a 'blank' or 'shield' to put in there to block it up? If so, what is it called? Bonus points if you have a FAN that fits perfectly...

    Lower powered serer?

    I'm thinking of using a i5 laptop CPU (with this motherboard) for a low power [usage] server. I would need another NIC since it's a gateway which would eat up the PCI-E slot. 5 sata ports should be fine. It should be quite a bit of power (2 cores x 2 HT) for a mere 35W TDP. Any downside...

    OCZ SSD Drives?

    What's the deal with OCZ SSDs drives? Tons of bad reviews on newegg and interwebs saying they go bad fast. Not that it's significant, but everyone I know with an OCZ drive have seen them fail within 12 months. My lasted 15. Never meet anyone with an Intel or Crucial SSD that has failed on...

    No raid for green drivers?

    Both the WD and Segate green drives have newegg comments that they shouldn't or not meant to be used for RAID. Why? I wanted to put 3x2 TB in a ZFS raidz, is that ok or some how wear these drives out fast?
