The board is good so far I had to use a Supermicro IT firmware to get the LSI controller converted but other than that all was smooth and with out issue. I have several ASRock boards and all have worked flawless. I think the oldest is 4 or 5 years old running 24x7. I haven't measured the...

Suppose I could. I forgot that was there. "http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1847026" I need to get a couple more parts so I can make new power cables and clean it up.

Its really small compared to the 4u supermicro rack chassis it was in.. The board has been great Ive wanted one since they were released.

Ok they have been scaled down..

For those of you that are curious I thought I would share some photos on this case. I probably should have resized the pictures but, I didn't. This is my Server Essentials 2012 R2 build. I am using storage spaces for all of my movies and music and what not. Cables are still a work in progress...

Just use bit locker the only short coming it has in my opinion is that it has to be an entire partition. However its free and works well from my limited testing. Of course with everything it has more abilities with newer versions of windows. You can also get it setup and running with group...

This may be too late but, I figure it may help someone else later.. If the vhd isn't set to fixed you should be able to run the optimize-vhd and it will compact it down to just the space it is actually using. You should be able to use convert-vhd to change the original vhd to dynamic and...

Why not just let AD DNS use the root hints for name lookup? I have never used forwarders. Just let your DC do the work and be done. Also you don't "need" to use windows dhpc although it does make it more secure if you setup dhcp to do all dns registrations on behalf of the clients. The only...

Maybe I am missing something but if it was me and you already have the 2008 standard licensing just upgrade it to server 2012 standard. Once you have that you are allowed to run a physical server with two virtual instances under hyper-v. I would think that would be much easier than dealing...

Also this fan seem to be a good bit quieter than the silverstone fan. Im not sure about when it ramps up however.

Ok got some more photos. Got the fan mounted but I still need to cut some and get a radiator picked. The last one is just to give you reference of size. Its sitting next to my Dell 30".

If small and out of the way is the goal these are nice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112361 Doesn't get much smaller than that. They come in silver as well.

I just wanted to say cudos to those of you that sleeve your power supply's. I'll never do it again. Anyway I'm hoping to get some more pictures up today.

What he said.

They are not the same. I have never seen this spacing before. its 120mm one direction and 140mm the other.

Got the fan today. It will fit no problem but it will take some mounting hole modifications.

when it gets here ill take some pictures of it in the case.

I had no plan to run a reservoir. Also not mounting the 2.5" drive in the standard place. There is room to put it right behind the optical drive. Everything I plan on doing will require cutting and removing parts. I also have no plans on using the other drive trays. They were the first to come...

I have several Black Ice radiators thats really all I have ever used. Just dont have a 140mm. I still havent decided what to do.

I think I could actually make a 180mm fan work on the bottom with a little work but getting a 180mm rad in there is out of the question. I looked around and didnt see much info on a single 140mm rad and what it can handle but I have terrible luck searching. i dont think search engines like my...

I ordered a Thermalright TR TY-140 to try for a bottom fan replacement. The P8Z77-I has two PWM headers. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11677/fan-755/Thermalright_TR_TY-140_140mm_x_160mm_PWM_Fan_-_900R1300PM_Standard_120mm_Fan_Mount.html?id=vCrEwANU&mv_pc=230 I just got my case and...

I also have had up to four blade servers running server 8 in clusters and no clusters. Never once had a error or failure one. At one point i was running over a hundred vdi machines between the bunch. You should try again.

Its people like you that give me the energy to just annodize and make simple modifications (that usually never get finished). How you do it is beyond me. However this has got to be the most ambitisous cooling project i have ever seen. Maybe I missed it but where/how did you charge the window...

May not be on topic but I was back and forth on these 2 monitors. Finally decided to order the 3007 since it will only be a pc monitor and nothing else. I was worried about all the nay sayers and issues that people were having with back light and what not but, I think I got a perfect one back...

haha why are mine always 3 times that much? i would say it just depends on what you want to do and how nice you want your components to be. mine seem to always be around 600$ or so.

check this app out. It may do all that you need. http://www.run-virtual.com/?page_id=160

I would agree but I have had 2 different 2003 servers running inventory applications that improved 100% by adding a second vcpu. But yes I would always start with 1 and if needed add another.

Your most likely correct on the oem. Thats why they have excpetions in there DataCenter and Enterprise licensing for servers. I can contact my MS rep if you really want a real answer.

I used to use the plastic clamps but then I needed to make a change which required getting it off and that was the end of them. They are bitch. I have used zip ties on the last 4 setups I have built and never had a leak. They are cheap and easy to remove/replace when needed.

kinda wanted to keep it at 3/8 id tubing. it has been the easiest size to deal with in the past and i have a bunch of tygon thick wall 3/8 id. kinda thinking about this pump...

Ive been to busy to ready everything on heat disipation and what not. Busy at work and getting ready for my first kid in a couple weeks so im throwing this out for approval. i would like to stay on a single loop just so i dont have to monkey with 2 pumps and 2 rads but if this rad wont take the...

for what its worth i have tried using the fill ports and didnt care for it. the last 3 machines i have built have used the reservoir to fill up. i just use a 1 foot piece of tubing, thread a fitting into an extra coolant lid and attach the hose and squeeze the fluid in. if that makes sense, if...

Just got mine. Now waiting for memory and power to get here. It looks good. Not much help to orignal post but thought I would chime in.

It looks to be a good one. I like the placement of everything so far.

I currently own Lian-Li PC-A77B and a PC-A17B. The smaller 17B is currently being water cooled (cpu and video) the 77B I just got and am in the process of dismanteling for water cooling and mods. I love these cases. I also have a 600B which was a little tight with the water in it. I have a...

i currently have a mcubed tbalancer. its nice and does alot more than just control fans. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=48&products_id=20837 Little expensive but its a good product.

Would be lovely

thank. i figured it should work. i just need to decide if 2 cards in crossfire is better than 1 dual gpu card or just wait and get two 3870x2's.... decisions decisions.
