I have a new to me CX3-20 SAN that I would like to configure and start playing around with. This was pulled from an old data center and is still configured as it was there. I know I need to get access to the SP's but I'm not even sure where to start. There is a Ethernet Port and what appears...

I picked this up a few months ago and am now getting around setting it up. I believe the model is CX3-20 but I'll have to double check that. I need help with the connections. The drive chassis has copper fiber channel connections while the storage processors have fiber connections. How does...

I see the "Resume" thread but I'm not seeing anything for posting open positions. Is there anything here for that?

I am new to folding, just started last night. Right now I have it running on 3 desktops and 1 virtual machine (1 cpu 4 cores Xeon). Right now I am loading up ESXi on a Dell R900 with Dual Xeon E7450 6 core CPUs. I am going to light up a virtual machine on it for folding and need to know what...

I thought I would share this here too. I am in the process of changing a few things with my setup. The thread is here. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1717045 I put in the ladder rack across the basement yesterday. Should have the support anchors and such today.

I am in the process of revamping the Man / Nerd Cave. All of the old pictures are in this previous thread. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1038509477#post1038509477 I wasn't real happy with the old desk setup so I went a different direction. Some of that setup is below. I...

Brought this home a few weeks back. Still haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

Been playing around with the gear at home. Finally have a decent machine to run my virtual environment on. HP DL380 G7 Dual Quad Core Xeon CPU's 32GB Memory 7 300GB SAS Drives For storage I am using a QNAP appliance with 8 3TB drives with just under 20TB of storage. I am running...

Server is close to new. Bought it to run while some upgrades were done. Ran about 30 days total. Case is in new condition with no scratches etc. inside of the case is also clean, no big dust bunnies waiting to attack. Runs vmware ESXi 5 no problem. 2.4ghz Intel xeon quad core processor 8gb...

This should be fun to play with. I just installed it in my rack tonight. 80 cores and 320GB of memory.

I need a hardware SAS Raid controller for a Dell R510 server that is compatible with ESXi 5. I would like to use raid 5. The server has a 8 drive back plane in it and I would like the ability to use standard SATA drives if possible. Unless it's not already evident I don't know a whole lot...

I probably shouldn't have upgraded right now but went ahead and did so anyway. I've been running on an old single core AMD CPU, Gigabyte board and 4gb of ram. I sold my quad core about 6 months back and have been waiting to upgrade since then. About 5 months back I built a new machine at work...

Has anyone actually rack mounted this case? Is it 3 or 4 RU? Looks like it came out ot 3.75 U, is that right? I want something that is going to fit the rack properly.

I have had lots of questions on this mount and figured I would post a thread here. The mount is made up of the following. - Chief KTA325B Triple Monitor Arm - 1.5" Galvanized Steel Pipe threaded on one end - 1.5" floor flange I bolted the floor flange to the desk and used a hole saw to...

I need to run DVI from my computer to my monitor. The problem is that I need that dvi connector to fit through a 1.5" pipe which isn't happening. I need to have some kind of break in the cable. I've thought about two DVI to HDMI cables and then connect them with a HDMI femal/female barrel...

Not sure where the thread should go so I stuck it over in the case mod gallery. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1630399 This past weekend I connected my data rack to the server rack with patch panels and 24 runs of CAT5e.

I'm not sure if this is the place for it or not so tell me if it's not. We just recently moved and I am in the process of getting my man cave / computer room together. This is slow going right now because I'm in the middle of a bunch of stuff at work that is consuming a majority of my time...

Now that the servers are gone I'm looking to get rid of the rest of my home setup. All of this gear was used in my home and is very clean and in excellent operating and physical condition. You get the following. - HP 36U Server Rack (Includes all the side panels, both front and read doors) - 1...

I want three monitors so I can pick up a eyefinity card and use it. I currently have two Dell 2209WA monitors and thought about trying to find a third. However they are pretty hard to find and the ones that are available are priced high ( I paid $209 new). So I'm considering picking up 3 new...

How do I go about creating a Folding At Home username? Is a passkey needed to join the Hardforum's team?

I need a stand or multiple stands to hold 6 monitors on my desk. I considered getting one single mount for all of them but the inexpensive ones look like crap and the quality ones would require the selling of my children. I did some digging around and found these...

I'm looking to play around with some Cisco voice equipment. Thus far I have seen recommendations for the 1760V router. What other routers would you recommend. I'd like to keep my first born if at all possible.

I have a server that is currently running dual Opteron CPU's. It needs memory so I've been digging around for some. The thought occurred to me that I could use a different Tyan board that I have laying around that has a Intel Dual Core Desktop CPU on it. The board with Intel CPU is newer and...

I downloaded an app on my Droid that measures sound in dB. I can't imagine it's all that accurate but it's still fun. Front Of Rack -39 dB Back Of Rack -30.4 dB

I am looking for a ITX motherboard that has dual monitor support. Preferably VGA and DVI. Anyone have any suggestions?

Slowly getting everything into my new racks. I have two 4 post HP racks and an unknown 4 post relay rack. I'm renting a house right now so for the moment these will be in the garage. Later when I get into my own house I have lots of ideas for a room I'm going to put together.

What company makes quality rack mount cases? NewEgg has a metric butt ton of cases but I have no real way of knowing what's good and what's not. Opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone own one of these? I'm considering picking up a couple of them. Will it hold up as a rack mount case? Are the rack mounting ears pretty solid?

I had a squid proxy setup so that I could funnel all my web traffic at work through an SSH tunnel to the house. Well tonight I found my 7 and 8 year old looking at something on youtube that I would rather them not. So it looks as if I'll have to put the proxy into full duty. I knew this would...

Over the past 8 years or so I've always bought motherboards with onboard video. I'm not a gamer so I didn't need anything more. I would like to add a couple more monitors to my system and therefore I need to add a PCIe video card. Is it still pretty common for additional video cards to disable...

My wife buys a lot of clothing on eBay. One of the big things when doing so is whether or not those clothes came from a home with smokers or not. Well I just recently bought a case on eBay is it's quite apparent that it came from a home with smokers because it smells pretty bad. I'm sure it...

I currently have a tower case that will hold 20 3.5" drives. Though I do not have 20 drives it is something I would like to work towards. However I'm trying to figure out the best way to hook them up. I've been looking at the Megaraid cards from LSI and have found an 8 port card for about $140...

Does anyone know of a online retailer still selling them?

I posted this in the workstation thread but figured I would start a new thread for it. My old room was down in the basement but I wanted something at ground level and also wanted to make use of the door I picked up from work. The door was on the old server room at work so when they built a new...

This looks to be a fairly nice monitor for cheap. http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/dells-st2010-20-inch-monitor-to-bring-hdmi-for-about-120/ The 160 degree viewing angle doesn't sound half bad.

Is there a reseller of Aqua Computer products here in the US? Or even a reputable place somewhere else on the web?

I bought this phone for my wife in hopes that she would stop using her cell phone so much. Well she likes her cell phone and will not use this. I played around with it for a couple hours making calls and really liked it. Everyone I called said the sound quality was good. The phone works on...
