That's really weird. The only reason for 2 headers then, would be to allow for more leds (split the amps between 2 headers), but that's rarely needed. Its a really odd design choice.

I just got a new system up and running. To my suprise, the 2 RGB headers on the Tomahawk Max do not seem to be independently set through Mystic Light software. I had figured that the 2 ports would be independently customizable, otherwise why put 2 ports on the motherboard when you could just use a cable splitter? Am I missing something?

I figured. I just can't justify getting a micro atx board AND a new case just to save some space on the floor. Thanks though.

I am getting ready to redo my media server, and I have spent hours looking at cases. I presently have an AMD-A10 running on an ATX motherboard, and I see no reason to scrap those. I am looking for a small case that can hold ~6 hard drives, that uses a standard power supply, and has toolless trays. Since I use the onboard graphics, I don't need to populate ANY of my slots. So I started looking for a super compact case that might use the space that would have been taking by the slots to house HD or the power supply. I couldn't find anything. Anyone seen anything like that?

I am currently running a WHS2011 system with Drivebender and four 4 TB disks. For those that that don't know, DriveBender allows me to take all 4 hard disks and make one giant drive, and further allows me to set individual folders to be duplicated across the drives, so that if one drive fails, you just pull the lost data from the other drives. I am pretty happy with my setup, but I am about to upgrade my three client PC's from W7->W10 and WHS2011 does not always play nicely with backups of W10 machines. I have never quite figured out where is issues is, but my wife's laptop is W10 and its constantly not backing up correctly. I am looking for another type of software I can use for backups on my windows 10 machines. I really like the format of the WHS2011 backups. Its makes nightly incremental backups and I can restore individual files as needed. Basically, it mounts an image backup and then I can get into that mounted image as if it was its own hard disk. I want a backup solution that has the same capabilities, but hopefully does not have a yearly fee. I am willing to spend money for the program. Any recs?
