Unlike the previous generation of HP Microservers, the Gen8's use Celeron/Pentium processors. They appear to use a Matrox G200 graphics card (which I think I've seen someone on here using). Any reason why these wouldn't work? I don't know much about the chipset, but it's designed for Xeon's...

I guess this isn't 100% hackintosh-specific (since it could be used on any machine), but it's not complete unrelated, either. I intend to use OS X software RAID, but I need an external enclosure. It needs to have a USB 2.0 option. I know it's not ideal, but it's all I've got. Thoughts? Ideas...

I'm currently running my 27" Apple Cinema Display via a DisplayPort on my ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard from my HD 4000-equipped processor, and I'm considering an upgrade. I have some specific requirements, though. It must be: 1. Affordable 2. ML-compatible 3. Single-slot (I have a...

If this is old news, just ignore me... So I discovered these little guys while I was building an unRAID box. They allow you to turn your internal USB 2.0 headers into external ports without occupying a slot on the back. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200294 It's...

Need help recognizing SATA controllers on ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe I've used the P8Z77-I Deluxe, and I've got everything working except for sleep. Thanks to everyone for making such a solid solution with such a great motherboard. That being said... Even though the SATA controllers work fine and I...

This is less than of a "buying advice" thread than a "procurement advice" thread. I say this because the piece I'm looking at using for my desktop build is actually an internal DVD drive that I pulled from an Apple MacBook Pro. I haven't tested it yet because I need a cable, but "dry...

The title pretty much sums it up. I haven't made up my mind yet, but I'm highly considering picking up a GTX 660 Ti. However, my build is compact and made to sit up on the desk. Quietness is pretty important to me so I'm trying to find out who makes the quiest video cards out there. The other...

My wife said I can finally finish the build after she saw the giant 27" Apple monitor I broguht home and I told her we have nothing to hook it up to yet. :twisted: Here's what I have and what I need to finish the build. Ordering: Case: Silverstone FT03S-MINI PSU: Silverstone ST45SF 450...

I'm looking for a 140mm fan that will turn blue at lower RPM's and turn red at higher RPM's. Does such a thing exist? Of course, it absolutely has to be quiet and effective, too. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for desktop speakers to go with my new setup, but everything out there is black and wuoldn't go with the all-silver look I'm going for. Has anybody come up with some good desktop speakers that fit in with a Mac setup? While we're on the subject, are there any decent headphones...

I don't game on my computer or do any CAD or design work, but it's possible (if not likely) that I will be doing some Photoshop work on it. I understand that Photoshop now takes advantage of some of the advanced features of modern discrete video cards. What would be a good video card for...

Mac or Hack for a server setup? I'll start by admitting that this question probably gets asked a lot, but this one has a twist. I have two SPECIFIC setups that I need to decide between. Mac Mini Core i7 quad core w/ Lion Server (Mid 2011, new in the box) Custom w/ Core i5-2500K I can get...

The title tells most of the story. I've currently got on-board HDMI and DVI (via HD 3000), but I'm considering upgrading to a 27" Cinema Display. However, I'm not ready to rebuild my machine just yet so I figured just dropping a cheap discrete video card in their would work for now. Any help...
