That's what I have on my ~20TB storage server right now :(

Though there are 2 onboard NICs my switch doesn't support whatever superseded 802.3ad, so they're not super useful. Upgrading the ol' network is definitely the next step.

This burrito is delicious, but it is filling.
All my file storage is on an IBM xseries with dual dedicated gigabit NICs. But all the files are on USB 2.0 external hard drives.

It's a file server using FreeNAS, but an onboard NIC? Pfffft.

I upgraded my monitors a few months back to 4x LG 27" 2560x1440. My old BenQ monitors already had the capacitors replaced, were showing their age, and I was legitimately running out of desktop space. In addition to the monitors, I picked up a GTX 780 Classified to drive the bottom three in surround gaming and a hex monitor stand to hold everything upright.

Still living like poo poo, replaced the 3+1 monitor stand I had with a 2x vertical one because the old one didn't have adjustable arms and the VESA height on U2711s are different from the U2713HM :downs:

That bottle gave me some flashbacks playing Nalgene roulette where we would throw them full as high as we could in a parking lot. Most of the time it would bounce sky high, if you were unlucky though it would land on the cap and that was that.

Then the coach would come scream at us.

Also nice monitor :v:, what are you driving it with

advion
Jul 25, 2005
Yes it's running at 3440x1440 @ 60hz. Right now it's only being driven by a GTX670 but that's going to be replaced in the next month or two I think. It does a surprisingly decent job of pushing 3440x1440 in most games at medium/high details. It's doing way better than I anticipated but I've been looking to replace the GPU for a while now I'm just kind of holding out for the next cycle.

Don't get me wrong it can be way better and I wish it was. But I went into the monitor knowing I was using an inferior GPU and it would be pretty horrible at times. Yeah if you get annoyed at a 780ti... :derp:

Thanks, I'm at 1/10 of the maximum reasonable sag, so I should be good. With the width of the filing cabinet and the other piece of furniture I used as legs (an end table style TV stand) there's only actually a foot and a half of floating space, so it should all be good, I'll be finally assembling it all tonight.

Yep, made in 2000. I don't remember how much it was at the time, but it must've been a ton because it runs 1600x1200 @ 60 hz or 1024x768 @ 100 hz (what I have it currently set to, counter strike playa :D) and the included JBL speakers are pretty good. Also, it didn't take me a month to build, I had to put it on pause after getting the wood because I had a costume to finish for an anime convention earlier this month.

I sold that poo poo when I worked for Circuit City. We used to use those speakers to blast music because they were the powered and pretty good.

How come? You get the option between high res and high refresh, it's pretty big (19" screen, 18.5" viewable). I don't really see the downsides.
