[QUOTE=SEKCobra;37783813]aaaaaaaaaa I'm getting 3 replacement server drives, WTF do I do with that many ;-;[/QUOTE] 1. Plug drives in 2. RAID 5 3. All the things

I'll never do any RAID with a controller below 5 million euros again.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;37784197]I'll never do any RAID with a controller below 5 million euros again.[/QUOTE] Why not? It's largely software driven now. You can move raids around between system these days.

[QUOTE=Zerokateo;37783974]Yeah they still have a few 460's, he could get a 7850 for about $200.[/QUOTE] Can't really find a 460 (not sure where the 460 even came from in the first response but w/e) but i found this: [URL="http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121623"]Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16[/URL] What kind of PSU would i need for this? Also, would there be a significant bottleneck since i only have a PCI E 2.0 slot?

idk about "high rated" but I've heard only good things about Corsair [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027[/url]

I am running a system with 4 HDD's, a 570 and a PII x4 on a 500w Builder series Corsair PSU.

Is it possible to get a mobo that supports the 3570k + 2 way crossfire (at at least x8 x8), for about £70? Any recommendations?

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;37784197]I'll never do any RAID with a controller below 5 million euros again.[/QUOTE] Just keep a backup. Then it's simply a headache and not a catastrophe. Though if I could I'd run JFS which would be beautiful.

Would a HD 7770 and an i3 3220 be sufficient enough to emulate Wii and PS2 games and play games like GTA4, SR3 and DayZ?

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37783158]An asus better made than a lenovo? mkay.[/QUOTE] I just read reviews saying the chassis of y580 isnt too good and the screen isnt matte. Which should I get?

[QUOTE=Silverspar;37787035]Would a HD 7770 and an i3 3220 be sufficient enough to emulate Wii and PS2 games and play games like GTA4, SR3 and DayZ?[/QUOTE] Yeah but good luck trying to use a PS2 emultaor.

[QUOTE=Silverspar;37787035]Would a HD 7770 and an i3 3220 be sufficient enough to emulate Wii and PS2 games and play games like GTA4, SR3 and DayZ?[/QUOTE] Should be able to play [i]most[/i] PS2 games via PCSX2 but some games might stutter a little.

[QUOTE=matrix_1995;37781595]So I'm ordering a Raspberry Pi, and was wondering if I could plug the Micro USB into my laptop and use it as a power source?[/QUOTE] Bump.

[QUOTE=tom1029;37786051]Is it possible to get a mobo that supports the 3570k + 2 way crossfire (at at least x8 x8), for about £70? Any recommendations?[/QUOTE] Bump for new page.

asrock boards, I would save up around 110 - 120 though and get a nice ASUS or MSI Z77.

Is there any difference between [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HD-Audio-Video-Component-Cable-Sony-Playstation-PS3-P2-/120708118792?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item1c1ac3b908"]this[/URL] and [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HD-Component-RGB-Cable-for-Sony-PlayStation-PS2-PS3-NEW-/300439612259?pt=U"]this?[/URL] Does component cable quality even matter?

why not just buy the official one, it's 1 euro/pound more

erp, do you seriously not know that (pound symbol breaks FP app!!) is the pound symbol!?

[QUOTE=TehWhale;37788216]why not just buy the official one, it's 1 euro/pound more[/QUOTE] Sounds too good to be true. Where?

Both of these are probably generic copies from China. The question is if there is any difference between the two.

Not really, they work inmho. Why not an HDMI cable though?

Is there any add on for firefox that stop pages from scrolling when loading images?

Does anyone make a surge protector that you can plug an ethernet cable into to protect against those kinds of surges?

Yes, USV

I am using Ubuntu and trying to remove a few programs from the start-menu ish thing. But I can't use sudo apt-get autoremove or remove on their name. The names of the programs are Mupen64, Minecraft, Skype. Help, quick?

[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;37788790][url]http://www.raspberrypi.org/quick-start-guide[/url] Most laptops cannot provide 700 mA through their USB ports.[/QUOTE] Ah. Thanks for clearing that up.
