    SAS SSD Data Recovery Company Recommendation

    I'm in EU but I have no problem sending the drive overseas. Backups are available but are pretty old because stupidity. To be honest, 1000 Eur to get this data back would be more than reasonable. Gillware quoted me $1000-$6000USD but while others say they're the best I did find some negative...

    Interesting ITX Socket G2 (laptop sandy) Dual Intel NIC, vPro: $55 shipped

    Got my hands on a LSI 9240-8i HBA and I can't get the motherboard to see it. No detection at boot, no ctrl+h/i menu, no nothing. It works on a Dell desktop without problems so the card is ok.

    what did you swap the cooler with ? I've ordered this case (wanna throw some 3.5" hdds and I need the room) so there's should be enough space for a bigger cpu cooler as well. PowerCube 712 | Computer Cases | Products | Spire Corp - Powered by Innovation

    After fiddling with it for a few hours I found the problem. I unplugged the keyboard (a Fujitsu usb) and the mouse (logitech wireless) during install. Everything worked perfectly after. anyone knows if it's possible to get temperature info in ESXI ? I see no sensors in the Health Tab.

    Interesting ITX Socket G2 (laptop sandy) Dual Intel NIC, vPro: $55 shipped

    I found an I7 3612QM very cheap (~100$) but I haven't received my board yet so I'm not sure if it will work. Did anyone use a 3xxx series cpu on these boards ? Entz, glad to hear you solved your problem. So your problem was the clear cmos jumper ?

    So the specs on the 272 say it supports 8gb max but that guy is selling one with 16gb. Anyone who got their board already can confirm it works with a 8gb so-dimm ? I'm also interested in what cases you guys are using for them.

    Wow, didn't even notice he had 2 types of boards for sale (270 and 272). I bought the 272 so the i5-2520m should work.

    1gbps router/storage/torrent box on the HP Gen8

    I got a Gen8 at a sale for ~300$ (G1610T) and decided to make it my new router/storage/torrent box. Bought 8gb for it, installed ESXi 5.5 and I've been running RouterOS for my 1gbps connection. At max speed (~950 mbps) it's using 80% cpu. The plan is to swap in an e3-1230v2, add another 8gb...
