Never seen that "verizon ... crowded..." msg before. So I guess my problem is with Netflix lol.
All I know is I hate having movie start out all blurry for the first few minutes even during non prime time.
Providing a third of internet traffic during peek.. I'm sure they are bottlenecked at times...
I just wish they provided a pre buffer option for times when you want better quality.

the comic sans made this post x1000 less acceptable.
btw where did you get this "super legit" fact from?

I see you guys are talking crap about the Q6600.
 
I think you guys are pretty much kinda wrong. The Q6600 is still a great CPU to work with. Heck, I still have one. I don't think it still would bottleneck a 780. I love my Q6600. Your friend's stepdad should love it, and so do you guys.

This is the start of a build i will be atempting this summer.
It will be a custom desk, with a pc inside.
The desk will be made of wood, with a Mirroed 1 way glass window down the middle.
When the pc is on it will light up so you can see in, when off you cant
Will also be a racing sim with g27 (if money permits it) and a Key start for computer.
Wrapping around the outer edge will be brushed alluminum ill be making with RGB lights under that
Whole thing will have sound proof matts.
Fans will be silverstone AP 122
Specs will be my current specs for now,
FX 6300- Have
Cooler Master TPC 612- Have
MSI 970a-g43- Have
Asus direct CU 1gb hd 7850- Have
XFX TS 550 watt 80+ bronze non modular PSU- Coming

4 or 5x SIlverstone AP 122- Need, have one.
New IPS monitor- Need
Glass and wood and stuff- Need
And no more Red phantom 410 YESSSSS
 
Building will start later this month or the next. But here are some renders.
 
And for thoes of you that cant understand orthographic drawings,
 
Normally that glass would be Mirrored, and when the computer is on there is only the computer that you can see
 
 
 
 
 
Just an ordinary desk being built, change of plans.
 
Case will be painted tho, something might get cooler, we will see

(First, please no comments about Vista. I hate it too, and have other problems)
(Second, I can't really geek out about specs with this, sorry. It's just the nature of the beast)

Hardware

CASE: Pretty
MB: Custom
CPU: ARM926EJ-S rev 0 (v5l) 189028 kB
RAM: Unicorns
RAID CARD: State Secret

HDD: 5X 2TB WD GREEN Caviar WD20EARS

Configuration:
The 5 Drives are partitioned into one logical drive which are raided in a proprietary fashion called "BeyondRAID".

Usage:
Currently - I use the Drobo for movies, shows, music photos and as data dump site for just about anything. Houses my disc images for ghosting and backups.
 
Additionally I use it to dump my families data onto if and when they ask for help(and I can't weasel out of it)
Originally - was being used to store raw HD video from MiniDV tapes and their encoded version, while I'd work with an encoded copy locally. (Family wedding videos, never paid...or thanked)
Backup:
...Taking a faith based approch at the moment. I have faith that drive redundancy will carry me through til I can afford to back up.

Drives as listed on My Computer, and you can see someone is telling big fat lies >.>. I do not have 48TB of space, but 3 main shares/folders mounted from ONE 10TB logical with 7TB currently useable.




My Data Dump in the basement, right next to my electrical panel on top of 2 vinyl record players(that are older then I am), sprinkled with silicon packets surrounding it for kicks(to absorb moisture, which isn't something I should have to worry about because...reasons.)


THOUGHTS, PROS & CONS
Not by any means a review, just my thoughts and experience. And since the Drobo FS is no longer available, it doesn't really matter(unless you see the Drobo 5N as a restamped FS.(an SSD accelerator option being the only difference I know of)

Beyond its awesome build quality, I don't know how I feel about Drobo to be honest with you. On one hand the securing of data, idiot proofing, small size and total silence are pretty big plusses. Also the bells and whistles(that I haven't tried or looked into for years) may be of interest to some.
The proprietary aspects I find annoying because, I know they'll eventually bite me in the butt. Like when the controller card eventually fails I'll be on the hook for big money that I don't have, with my data as ransom. Zero hardware modding and upgrades ( except HDD's and some misleading stickers). Or unless you consider buying additional Drobo's to "upgrade" expansion, which would be a salesmans reaching pitch IMO.

Once I mounted the drive on the network, that was really the last I dealt with it. I messed about with it's features for an hour maybe two, but never realy put the time into figuring it's flashy parts. I just dumped files on it, set up computers on LAN to back up onto it, and moved on with life. I've had 2 drives fail, shortly after getting the Drobo. Which is not a poor reflection on WD or Drobo by any means. I bought the drives shortly after the Fukushima tsunami 2011 and vendors were having issues of all kinds. But despite the 2 failed drives, I did not lose any data (failed at separate times, and I replaced the drives ASAP)
So in terms of data being safe and the Drobo doing the most important things I wanted, saving me when it was supposed to then returning to being unnoticeable. It passes with flying colours.

On the opposite side of the spectrum we have the Drobo Dashboard, and it is horrible. It's the program you use to control your Drobo in order to play with the apps, flashy features, and to make important changes in how the Drobo behaves. Don't get me wrong, it looks nice, is intuitive and has the features a normal end user would love to use. It's just flaky in the dumbest of ways. Until recently I have not seen the dashboard work for years. It would never detect the Drobo on the network, even though I have the network drive mapped and was accessing files from it as though it were any server/computer on my network. The dashboard just stopped working. Fortunately I had everything setup and didn’t notice until I wanted to mess around with its features, which very quickly became more trouble then I cared for. So I just lived without it, and partied like I was on windows NT.4.
The solution to the Drobo dashboard was ultimately quite simple. I had to cycle the power on the Drobo. So just hit the power button on your raid, with all your files on it...on purpose. So you can guess how I felt about trying that.
It's probably an unfair criticism of the Dashboard, especially since I haven't given the newest firmware and Dashboard update the benefit of the doubt yet. but it is what it is.

Would I recommend this for an enthusiast or medium to large business? No.
Would I recommend this for small businesses and people who want raid like redundancy but don’t have the expertise, space, or time? Yes.
Affordability, there is better
 
:Edit: UPDATE
updated the firmware and software, can now see the Drobo every time
But seem to have lost the ability for windows to backup to it via scheduled backups
Ugh now I have to monkey about the interwebs in try and find a solution...but not now, later. doin other stuff

WARNING: I haven't seen anyone encountering this but just like overclocking, there is an inherent risk of damaging your display and it may not be covered by its warranty. It may not even be able to achieve the same settings other people are able to get.
 
Note: I did not make this guide but have used it on all of my monitors without any problems. Credits are due to the ones that originally posted these on another forum. 
 
What this guide is all about is how to get higher resolutions than what your display is capable of. It is called Downsampling. What it basically does is to have your GPU artificially push a resolution that's over what your display is able to do. The impact it will have on your GPU is equivalent to what it would do on a display that can actually output that resolution natively.
 
For example:
Your display is natively able to support a resolution up to 1920x1080. Using Downsampling it will send out a signal to tell your display to output a resolution of 2560x1440. Now on a display that can output a maximum resolution of 1080p has about 2 million pixels while a 1440p display outputs 3.7 million. Downsampling does not increase the amount of pixels being displayed. Itcan't go beyond that. What it does is bring that 1440p resolution to your 1080p display and compresses it to fit inside the screen. The effect it has is similar to zooming out on a lower resolution picture.
 
Below, you can see the difference in image quality on both images taken on the same display. Both images are using the same settings but with different resolutions.

So everyone has been hyped up about the new X99 Haswell platform that is due for release soon, everyone wants an 8 Core desktop from Intel and everyone is waiting. So I thought i would take the time to take a trip down memory lane and share an older platform that went under the codename "Skulltrail". The platform was originally launched in 2008 and  was slated towards the ultra-enthusiast and the goal of this platform was simple, bring multi socket desktop mainboards to consumers.  Intel launched the Skulltrail platform on Feburary 19,2008 the main selling point of the Skulltrail  platform was  its  ability to bring  an 8  core CPU platform to enthusiasts and blend it together with more commercial features  such as ECC Ram support and the ability to do 4 way Crossfire or SLI  (which  there were only one or two boards on the  market  capable of doing this). The standard spec of the Skulltrail  platform consisted of 2 Core 2 Extreme QX 9775, these processors are commonly confused with  the QX 9770 processors  that appeared on the LGA 775 platform, however these chips were specially made for the  Skulltrail platform, Today it is a dream to  run  two extreme editions on one board, the  Skulltrail  platform allowed two Core 2 Duo Chips with  unlocked  multipliers  work on the same  board much like Xeons.  This feature has  not been seen since in modern day platforms.

Above: A photo of a DX5400 Seaburg Chipset Skulltrail  platform
 
To put it simply Skulltrail leveled any other motherboard/ Cpu platform out there,  it  was an extreme outlier on  all  benchmark graphs,  however it had  an  Achilles heel the platform  made use of FB Dimms instead of DDR3 which  was just rolling off the  production line, this choice handicapped the Skulltrail platform as there was too little memory bandwidth at too slow a speed to compete with standard one socket desktop boards, couple this with the fact that there were almost no multi-threaded apps back then and you have  a  platform that only ever ran at  half its  overall potential. There was also  the problem of price. A brand new  Skulltrail platform  was stratospheric  in costs , Each CPU costed $1600, The motherboard which  was  a unique Intel only design would set you back another $600 and finally the Ram which was specialized server Ram  would  set you back another $200-300, You would have close to a $5000 computer without even touching the storage or graphics cards. Couple this with the blunder that it was mostly marketed towards gamers (ahem similar to Titan Z)  it became a really oddball  platform that was interested but  didn't fit anywhere in the  market.
 
Put simply the Skulltrail platform was  far,  far  ahead of its time and because of that the platform failed to appeal to a large market,only today are we seeing the benefit of 6+ cores in gaming and were are just starting to see 8  core chips  enter the consumer market.  Right now  software is still playing  catch-up  to  multi-core chips and  this was a  platform that hoped apps would be threaded properly, however that never  came  to  pass and  the  Skulltrail platform faded out  of  existence and  relevance. Intel has never revisited the Skulltrail concept and  likely never will in  the  consumer market.
 
 
 
Though today I  have something  special to  share with  you all, 3 weeks ago I  got a   call  from  one  of my friends that moved  out to California after highschool  and  got a  job in  IT. He was calling me about a Skulltrail platform that he  recently took out of service for a small marketing firm. He told me he was sent in to do a system replace for the firm and they were buying completely new systems from the ground up, he managed to salvage an entire Skulltrail platform from a server rack that was used as an emergency backup. Thats right  this high end enthusiast style platform was being  used as a backup server. When he questioned the owner about it he said the  previous  company that handled the first system install  told them they needed a high  end  system like Skulltrail  to handle 3-4 VMs in case of  an  emergency. Needless to say he was dumbfounded  and  so  was  I after I  heard the story. That previous  company must have been some  hella good marketers to sell  a  small  company an entirely overkill  platform for a back-up  machine.The  system was  rarely powered on  and the  CPUs were never overclocked  apparently. He offered  to sell me the kit for $350 as he had no use for it, I accepted  and he shipped it out.
 
I received  the package today and I  can honestly say I am  shocked, there  was no  dust to be  found on the  board, it honestly looked like  it was just taken out of the packaging. I originally wanted to build a  small server with the money that I  spent, however the kit was too good of a  price to pass up, since I had enough spare parts lying  around the kit seemed to be the right idea. I had some old Raptor hard drives from my very first PC build that still worked flawlessly, I also had a EVGA NEX Supernova 1500w PSU that was leftover from my Quadfire 7970 rig, then I had  a HAF X case and a HAF XB case lying around from swapping cases for clients and my  own  builds. So for  $350 I got  an  entirely  working dual  socket CPU platform...a  complete steal.
 
Now  to make  this a  bit unique I going  to try to cram the following specs into a HAF XB  Cube Case, I figure with some light modding I can get the board and all the parts to fit.
 
 
Motherboard: Intel  Skulltrail D5400XS

Software and Configuration:

I'm running three VMs on this machine, one for my personal stuff,
one for my dad's business and one for serving media throughout
our household. All VMs as well as the host are running Arch Linux
as their operating system. It might seem like a bit of an odd choice,
but I've been using it for a few years now and have had very good
experiences with it.
 
The storage system itself is ZFS.

Network sharing is done via NFS and Samba, depending on target
machine.

My dad's business data is on a three-way mirror, my own data
and the media files are stored on RAIDZ2 pools.


It's a headless machine, all administration and maintenance is
either done via IPMI or SSH.

A diagram of the storage topology (the Velociraptor has been
reassigned to a different purpose in the meantime) below. The
layout is based on @wpirobotbuilder 's excellent thread about
the topic.

in the remaining three corners:

Usage:

Personal data, business data and media data. So, a file server.
On a less important scale, as a sandbox for some VM experiments.

Backup:

My personal data is backed up to a JBOD disk on ZEUS. My dad's
business data is also backed up to ZEUS, on another ZFS mirror
(only two-way though). The business data is additionally also
stored on one of my dad's main work machine.

UPDATE, 2014-SEP-01: Bought 6 TB of drive space for ZEUS for
backing up the more important media files.


For those interested: ZEUS

I don't have very many pictures of the process of paints and the modding of this case. I have a Corsair H60 water cooler that started leaking about a month ago (the unit wasn't even a year old) and I can't find my receipt anywhere. So here it is, the pictures are large so yeah...:

Before paint:
There is a 5.25 inch blu-ray/dvd drive that is hidden behind one of the sections of mesh, the mesh is held onto the drive using a child's glue stick. Funny story, I had to shave down the eject button because the drive would not stay closed. The front of the hard drive cage presses up against the side panel window. I left extra plexi glass so in the future I could expand the window as much as i want, and there is also the benefit of stiffening the panel.
 
If there's any questions or if there's anything you want explained, ask away, I will respond promptly. I'll search for more pictures if there is any.

Missing Icon = no internet... :rolleyes: 

If Henry Ford would have asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses. I can think of a lot of ways a coffee table computer would be extremely useful.
 
A 27" TV is what, half the cost of a 39" TV? Makes sense that a 39" "tablet" would be twice as much as a 27" one.

why do people always assume their personal little subjective opinions are blanket and universal and as a result that the product must be flawed because of it?
 
Really?  If you don't like it or don't see a reason to own one then that is fine, but to assume that the product is flawed, or a stupid mistake is just foolish.
 
 
 
 
 
What a load of bollocks, you hate windows we all know it and that's fine, but please stop posting rubbish or back it up with some supporting reports.  Show us where MS actively developed for this specific product.  Show us the HTC didn't make a windows phones.  Show us in what rational argument would claiming that any supposed adversity from MS would even exist? 
 
You are posting nonsense about an issue that doesn't exist.

This is not a Microsoft product

If anything i see this being pretty cool in the angled table and coffee table mode. Imagine having one of these in a cafe/restaurant as a table and you could order things using it while being able to access the internet and other features. As a TV it seems a bit of an overkill, but as an angled table or coffee table it makes a lot of sense and looks pretty cool.

Your TV doesn't have the stand, nor touch screen.

Yeah, it would be nice to have an integrated solution for this, but
at least this way I got to dust off my Perl a bit. Besides, having
a ~500 line script for this (OK, including comments, but still)
is much more geeky.

Thanks! Yes, I like to have clean code (I'm a bit of a formatting
neat freak ).

Fixed link, and added second list to second post (and the script does
it automatically too, yay! ).
For those interested: I've made a github repo for the script, which
you can check out here. This should also allow collaborative maintenance
on this thread and make it not just dependent on me.

Yeah, it was ghetto method, and the hyperlinks keep messing up, if not posted a certain way.  I made some edits to the list to make similar OS and Storage type setup naming more structured.   I was hoping there could be some standard chart and submission method the forum could use, and user self sort  (can be useful many of the collections... e.g. build logs, build recommendations, etc).  (At OCN they had iframe in external charts) Anyway.. I digress. 
 
The new chart looks awesome.  BBCode for the links sure is a lot cleaner!  
 
correction and other thoughts
- link of item #6 on first post "my build" goes to second post.
- I think the noteworthy builds info might would feel at home at the second post.

Ok guys I've got it working, I used EaseUs Todo backup, which worked first time, the free edition. I recommend this over acronis/disk wizard and definately over maricum reflect. Not saying clonezilla is bad, just perhaps not quite the right tool.

Okidoki, I have now (with looney's permission, of course ), rearranged the
thread's beginning a bit. Opening post is rules and builds that didn't make
the list.
Second post is the actual list.
Third post is looney's server (was second post before).
I had copied stevv's google doc and tried to work with that, but there was
always something slightly off about the end result that didn't quite sit
right with me, so in the end I wrote a Perl script into which we plug the
data and which then generates the output you see in the list now.
It's not set in stone yet, there may still be some changes though, not sure
yet.
In any case, even though I didn't end up basing the list on a google doc,
many thanks to Stevv nonetheless. You compiling the data into one neat
document actually made things quite a bit easier for me because I didn't
need to go check the forum for it, but could more or less copy-paste into
my script (well, at least that part, it still ended up being far larger
than I'd hoped it would be, it's a bit ridiculous TBH, but hey, I like
coding Perl and I need the learning experience ). 
 

Noted, updated your entry to 64 TB.

On the upside: whatever is supported actually works in IPB

each time he says sense is better than stock
 
a little part of me dies

Exactly my feeling for forums in general... not very good for "colaborated document" or they should have some kind of  wiki plugin.
 
The SC plain text export looks pretty good.  Better than the html, the no links.
 
I couldn't help it... so I created this... 

Not exactly a tech deal but here you go:

@MrBucket101 : I've taken the liberty of editing your post a bit to make it conformant
with thread rules. I've also taken one of the pictures you linked and linked it to a smaller
version hosted on my server so that you have at least one pic in your post. If/when you
wish me to remove the image from my server and replace it with your own, please let
me know (I wanted to link the original image you have on dropbox, but it's just too large
and would be annoying for people with smaller screens ).
@X1XNobleX1X
 
@Alexdaman : Is the 64 TB box a new machine, or just an update for the server which
is already on the list? If it's a new rig, could you make it a proper post according to
thread rules so that we can add it to the list? If it's an update, I'll just edit the capacity
of the server that's already on the list. Thanks!

@tycheleto
 
If anyone has been forgotten, a quick reminder would be welcomed, I or looney shall then
amend the list with your entries, should they qualify.
 
 
I've also added a "Total Combined Storage Capacity" counter, we are currently at 1,137 TB,
meaning we can now call ourselves truthfully the LTT Petabyte Club ™ !
