I just saw win home server on newegg tonight for $99.00 and im debating weather its worth it. it has a 8gb mem cap and my rig is at 16 gb now. I will be rung drivepool and scanner with any os I chose but I haven't used 2011 ever. I loved WHS V1 but my current test rig is going strong and im lookin g into a xeon down the road. unless my needs can be met with a simpler machine? all my workstations are win 7 home or win 8.1 whats my best bet. also windows 2012 is way overkill for me.

got my drivepool licenced next will be scanner in a few weeks happy new years all

hey I no this is off topics for this page. but im looking at IHOMESERVER. am I ok at looking at a single licence version for my server?

? about the licence for drivepool / scanner. I have just under 9 days left. and im planning on buying the $35 combo but if im say not able to buy it for say 10 or 14 day will my pool stop working? not planning on adding any drive until long after I buy the licence but just double checking...

fixed my laptop issue by loading windows 10 preview... windows 10 gets 1 point windows 8.1 pro edition 0 im making switch asap

have a off beat question if u guys can help... I have an Hp Envy 17 inch laptop computer with following specs I7-4510U dual core at 2.0 ghz 16gb Samsung ram at ddr3 1600 256gb Samsung dedicated 4gb gtx video caand finaly rd and everytime I access music from my pool windows media player plays music but freezes until it bluscreens and resets back to standard desktop. don't no what to do...

my wife told me I can go with intel for the extra cost so im looking at a Gigabyte GA-Z97MX and a I3-4370 and I will upgrade to a xeon 1275 V3 down the road.. this setup should last a few years

I think I decided on my new motherboard and cpu looking at the MSI A88XM motherboard and AMD A10-7850k APu (4cpu cores + 8 GPU cores looks like it has all I need for about $ 250 shiped

also is the i3 series capable of 3 hd stream possibly 4? or should I look to an I5 or i7 or xeon

is there any good reason to look at these haswell E chips on the socket 2011 v3? very pricy but are they worth it for a "home server"

how are the i3-4370 compared to my phenom x4 945 deneb at 3.0ghz? I no they have better memory support for ddr3 1600 wich the phenom is limited to 1333...

also liking the I3-4370 Dual core

how long would an I3-4360 dual core last? I plan on purchasing more video through iTunes than ripping... so the server is more for streaming than ripping.....

Also is it worth tring to find WHS 2011?

another ? when is it worth running faster ram than ddr 3 1600? example ddr 3 2400 or higher.....

the lsi card I found is a 8 port card that runs at pci express 3.0 (LSI00301 (9207-8i) its on sale for 233.99 on newegg and looks perfect. as for the am3 + I was trying to keep that idea so I could just continue with the phenom 2 945 and my gskill 16gb ram kit for now but it MUST be a Micro atx to fit my case. that's the problem. im probably gonna switch to intel socket 1150 because there is much more available in micro format. how are the as rock boards I found one for 135 that I perfect with 3 pci 16 slots and its got 6 sata 6.0gb/s and it can go all the way to the xeon 1275 I want but ill build with either a Pentium or i3 to start.

my phenom 2 is still holding its own and would b plenty of power if I could find an am3 or am3+ micro atx mobo with 2-3 pci express 16 3.0 slots and 6-8 sata 3 ports and support for 32gb ram

hey I have a question about an AMD cpu...how do the socket FM2+ A10-7850K Kaveri core with (4 CPU + 8 GPU cores holdup to be used for Media streaming? its way cheaper than intel and my current phenom 2 945 socket AM3 is awesome but cant find am3 board for my needs don't get me wrong I love the intel xeons but that's A HUGE INVESTMENT for me. the amd is way cheaper and ive had great luck. my current rig is handleing windows 10 without issues but im wanting more sata ports and at least 2 pcie x 16 at 3.0 wich I cant get with my current board. I stress im not gaming... just windows 10 stablebit drivepool and scanner and possible future stablebit products. maybe anydvd and ihomeserver and a future version of Norton antivirus... that's it.

hey what is this stablebit server I saw in the roadmap part of the forum? sounds interesting but I no windows 2012 essentials is a pain to configure with the whole domain stuff.

? about anydvd.... do I need to buy both any dvd and any dvd HD or does any dvd HD do everything? sorry for the topic change.....

im running the fractal design Node 804 its sweet if u have a micro atx board

No problem... your system is solid ... I mentioned the ssd as a future upgrade. I'm running mine as a single drive for the os because there is nothing of importance on it. if the system crashed I reload windows reinstall drivepool and scanner and my data is back. thank you stablebit....(still keep backups) btw don't run a red as os drive... I tried with the 1 TB 2.5 inch and it was painfully slow..

sweet design for the price. 1 thing I would watch out on though is WD blue is NOT recommended for 24/7 use.. if this is a storage box my recommendation is a Kingston V300 series ssd I bought one last week and im doing remote access for drivepool and scanner. I bought the 120gb ssd wich is on newegg for 59.99 it increased my performance 10 fold easily. also u may want one more of those 8gb Kingston ram sticks to enable dual channel mode then windows will fly. otherwise sweet build

is that all I need years ago I used dvd decrypter and then dvd shrink. will dvd fab convert to a playable format for windows? seems expensive im also looking at ihomeserver

im trying to digitize my dvd collection.. just gotta find a good program to convert from dvd to digital (preferably hd)
