So what company makes (relatively) cheap, reliable, bootable, iSCSI HBAs?

Can I blame your motherboard? :P

So is housecall "it"? Is there not a resident virus scanner worth a hill of beans? I have clients clamoring for it...but they're all shite.

gold disk'd?

Well, he beat me to it actually, but I didn't notice until now.... Congratulations ;)

Also, if you don't mind spending some money to protect your expensive equipment, BlackBox offers some very nice enviromentally controlled enclosures. They have a really spiffy one with dual filtered intakes and A/C :o

So is everyone here fairly confident about housecall's ability to find everything?

I'd vote yes to at least 3 of those options, but cluelessness is the primary factor. 1. Most computer users are completely clueless. Those with a minor clue know that viruses exist, those with a slightly larger clue have heard of Norton. 2. These people take the fact that Norton is on their...

Here in Central Califoria I run quite a bit of gear in the garage. I got one of those weather recorder things from Rat Shack to keep an eye on the climate. The garage is relatively air-tight, and computer equipment does a great job of removing humidity from the air. Just be sure to keep all the...

Kicked every one out of work so I could leave early, won good money at poker, drank a lot of good wine, made good progress on a girl of distinction....life is good ;)

I'm at work. Though we've posted standard hours, I plan on bailing and going to a friend's party as soon as it gets quiet. If everyone left right now I wouldn't mind.

I'm seriously interested in putting 3 of these on some workstations I'm building. Does anyone have information on getting it to run on PCs? If they just use the dual-link DVI, than the Matrox cards should work...no?

The P5A is the reason I still love Asus. Though they haven't done much for me lately, that was an absolute dream.

That is absolutely incredible. Even if you don't have the time for all 10:22 of it, you must listen to the last minute or so...that is completely amazing.

I'll second Merc's review of Spidey. I just got out and wouldn't complain about seeing it again. And the ending is perfect.

Grr. I moved it, really I did. But then Smiley came back and messed it up again. I have mounting brackets for the cams, and just haven't had the time to bolt them in place.

After doing some more research, that Hayabusa Turbo is good for 420hp! :o Weighing in at only 480lbs...boggles the mind....

I'll drink to that.....Belvedere and Tonic, if you please.

Doesn't strike me as paranoid...we'll see how closely they're watching the thread...

I will when I get into the office. Right now the tall blonde kid is working, and I'm 100 miles away. I'll be in @ 6PM PST.

that second video is very cool. That bike could get me in a lot of trouble (as I'm sure it does the current owner :roll: ) And for only $18k? Holy cow...

nice thread on SR

Thanks, at night the systems are the only light source...it looks really cool.

not when I made it....I just wanted to go to sleep having 999 posts and ran out of things to say,

I'm a gaming nut. If this system can't play DX9 games @ 2048x1536 it won't fly. Triple head is also a requirement. This is my primary rig, I just want to put the harddrives 20+ feet away. One of the clients that I would consider this to be a test for use AutoCAD2004 on dual-head workstations...

My quiet computing has really become a sick obsession. My system has 2 120mm fans, one built into the PS (that I've replaced with a 5v Panaflo) is actually ducted to draw from my Zalman 7000A with fan removed. the other draws air across the hard drives and blows across my passively cooled 9800XT...

Thanks guys. When I started posting here, it was my primary social outlet. Now that my new business has me playing host 12 hours a day, this is more my home than any physical place on earth. I've always been able to count on consistent, informative, and earnest responses from everyone here. I...

But I am doing local processing. AFAIK, no thin client can do what I mention above.

999.....goodnight :mrgrn:

My sister had been bi for many years, she is getting married in July to a guy I was originally introduced to as being gay. Other than the really awesome Haloween parties, they are (now) quite "normal" in their behavior.

I have a beagle running around called zipper that has a more permanant fix; he just chews though the wire and shorts it with his teeth. I think he likes it...kinda reminds me of "Terminal Man"...

I was able to hold out this long for more info, but I just gave newegg $2k+...I hope this stuff works ;)

I've been a contractor/consultant for quite a few years, never really taken a "sick day". I've had days where I do everything by RDC and cellphone from bed, but a day without work has always been a day without pay. Congrats on the TV, BTW.

If the terminals had high-end 3D accelerator cards and were capable of driving triple-head video solutions that could stream MP3s while playing games and encoding DVDs....yes, that would be fine.

Wow, not a single one of those cards are under $1100 :o I'm not that adventurous...

I've already gone pretty crazy with the noise reduction, but my house is insanely quiet. My bedroom system currently runs 2 120mm fans @ 5v, and is too loud for me to sleep with it running. I'm at the point where getting any quieter will require the elimination of moving parts, and the thought...

Soundstorm is the only onboard audio solution that I know of that doesn't suck. It was on my ASUS A7N8X Dlx boards, and it was a good thing.

I'm still really interested in iSCSI and somewhat interested in Fibre-channel. Mainly as these work better with high-capacity SATA drives, and (with iSCSI) the cabling can be longer and is cheaper.

FYI: LVD SCSI has a 12m max length, but using one of these ($60) will double that, 70+ feet would work for most installations. I'm having a hard time finding 12m cables, though. I'm just curious on pricing.

Even though this implementation may only be 1 or 2 machines (totally do-able with SCSI), I like to use my home as a lab for testing technology before I stick it in the field. From what I've read, iSCSI has the ability to mount bootable volumes via a switched ethernet network? Is this correct?

And the very fact that he wants a 47" HDTV means his job isn't his life.

Back now. My home server BSODed overnight....these dyndns clients aren't all that stabls :(

Yeah, it is open-ended. Mainly becuase I don't know exactly what I'm up to. But let's start with my home configuration and see where we go from there. I'm planning on building a very powerful 0dB machine. Using the very low power (35W) Athlon64 2800+ and undervolting it. I also have a...

I like tinkering with different technologies. Sometimes I even convince some of my more adventurous clients to take the plunge and check them out. My latest obsession has been in getting hard drives out of workstations/clients and consolidated into something fast and redundant. Like most...

Well, the poll wasn't specific....

Figured this was a fine place to put this. This was gotten from my GF's bedroom in the hills over San Jose. No special antennas, just the laptop's built-in WiFi.[/img]

What if I wear pantyhose, but still want Pradeep to enjoy his new toy?

Just last night I was driving away from Dave and Busters in the Great Mall in Milpitas (near San Jose) when there was a really nasty one of these in front of me. The offender was in a Dodge Neon while the enforcer was in a Durango (SUV). At least 4 other cars were involved (the roads are 4...

This is something I'm interested in. Anyone have luck finding quality media in good quantity at good prices?
