That isn't what it's about, is it? Even as the richest man, his contribution is nothing compared to the rest of the Billionaires. He wants the system fixed.

Heh, I had no idea Motobecane still made bikes. Mine is 33 years old at this point, and not made of Ti ;)

We have a fairly large line interactive UPS that lives between the generator/commercial power and our equipment. Typically it just runs the server room and a single outlet in each office dedicated to the computers, but it is capable of running the whole building (except the elevator, provided...

Corrective and preventive action?

The switch to bypass on ours is mechanical (generator/commercial is electronic and automatic). Obviously several orders of magnitude smaller, but it struck me as the most reliable way to do it.

Sick. Sucks.

Indeed. Like I said, really fun to build. Considering my test rig includes three Axis Q1755-E cameras (5MP @ 30FPS, $1700 each) and the necessary accessories (IR Floodlights, power injectors, cabling, mounts, and a 50' tall tower to mount some of them on), it isn't that bad ;)

I might have framed "painted" a little wider, but that is really nitpicking ;) Really, other than some minor cropping issues I do really like them. Doubt I could do as well.

I am working on a video surveillance system at the moment...that would be really fun to build ;)

Nice pictures, paugie.

The kids are one thing, and having a decent CPA is another. I know corps are willing to pay accountants and lawyers $0.99 to save $1 in taxes, and I must admit that I don't skimp on the professional services myself, paying on average $500/year to save probably $3-5k/year over doing it myself. I...

I would buy it if anyone could tell me if it would work or not. Otherwise it'll be a PC-80.

Windows softRAID should work on any controller in passthrough mode. I would just make sure that the controller the drives are on isn't even listed as a boot option in the BIOS.

I really like the look of the Lian Li PC-X2000F, but I can't get confirmation that it'll fit. It looks huge.

980X

In this case, two of them will be for video cards, one for a RAID controller, and one for a RevoDrive ;)

That'll work. Thanks.

Product Link XL-ATX Form Factor; 34.5cm x 26.3cm Antec P193 is a couple inches short unless I rotate the board 90 degrees. Tempting. The usual taste applies. Prefer black, no windows, as plain as possible. Low noise a plus, cost fairly irrelevant.

My 193 just arrived ;)

Interesting. Is this possibly a BIOS disk boot order thing? How far into startup does it get?

There are motherboards that are larger than ATX. I have several that won't fit in an Antec P183.

Were you expecting the array to work with the drive powered down? I don't see how that could work...

Yup, I've done Ashland twice. Probably the best in the country.

I usually make it to at least one of the performances at Shakespeare Santa Cruz.

I have a Corsair AX750 sitting here that I had in mind. For sure I will use a fully modular design.

Thanks Coug. This rig's only SATA drive will be an optical.

I really hate ASUS, but it looks to be the only high-end motherboard that is both 1366 and miniATX. In fact, I scrubbed miniATX just because I would have had to deal with an ASUS board.

Is there another socket that gives me 6 Intel hyperthreaded cores?

Most soot will go right through an air filter. The stuff that doesn't will stick to the bits of lint on the filter (because it is sticky, particularly in high humidity) and effectively block all air from passing through. Also very hard to get off the filter.

The ASUS Rampage III Gene seems to be the motherboard for high-end builds in this chassis? Looking at one with an i7-970, 24GB of RAM, a GIGABYTE GV-N580SO-15I GeForce GTX 580 and a RevoDrive for a gaming customer. Seems to be a good LAN-party machine.

We'll see how the price/performance works out. Intel needs to decide whether they are going to compete with OCZ or price higher and pretend they don't exist. I feel that Intel can make a lot of money either way (many won't put OCZ products in enterprise environments), but I would of course...

Yeah...2600...that is what I meant :( I didn't know any of them didn't make it to 4Ghz.

That price is low enough to get me interested. I still haven't had any issues with the RevoDrives, but I wouldn't mind keeping my machines all Intel.

Is the i7-2700k not still the price/performance leader once you get a decent OC from it?

Very much ouch.

I just run SATA->eSATA cables out a missing bracket.

JBOD is "just a bunch of drives". If you manage the RAID arrays in Windows you will have an easier time of it. It does support JBOD (spanning) and RAID-0 (striping) in all versions that can handle dynamic disks.

If you have an account on the Facebook, you can try my time-waster of choice.

I avoid confusion by having one drive be letter "z" and the other be drive letter "y". The letter is the same no matter which computer you are on. Z is the master and Y is the backup, even if you are working on the computer with the Y drive on it, you still work on the Z drive. I was toying with...

Sweet. I'm looking forward to the winter, I've amassed a nice collection of 6-core Intel machines.

Sounds pretty good. You could keep the two RAID-0 arrays on the same computer as well, but I have had a PSU go ballistic and take everything with it before. I like having the two copies of the data on two different machines. Better protection against viruses as well.

500MB/s is the benchmark score test. The fastest I can do between the two RAID0 arrays over the network is 118MB/s.

GbE is fine if you can get it set right. If one of your computers has two GbE NICs on it, the easiest way is to bridge them in Windows and then connect one using a crossover directly to the other. "Rest of Network" -> "Regular Cable" -> "Computer with 2 NICs bridged" -> "Crossover Cable" ->...

What complexity and mediocre performance? 500MB/s isn't bad. What do you use for backups now?

So long as the two RAID-0 arrays are on different computers with a time-delayed (or manual) backup, it is far more secure than 10 or 01.

The drives were fine. One was a blown motherboard, the other was an OS change.

If the drives are OK, just plug them into another computer and import the array. Done it several times.

I'll mix brands. I have no problem with that, particularly with Windows-based "soft-raid".

I have 2 6-disk RAID-0 arrays with Hitachi 3TB drives, and I get 500MB/s+ read and write. Better than single drives, that's for sure.
