    I want to buy a new car

    This is a public test, they are losing huge amounts on each car and the fuel.

    Lots of Snow

    Wife and kid are off to the Aquarium and museums for the day. I am back in my office keeping an eye on things and making sure the generator is behaving itself. I was just out at the country club, they seem to have lost about 10% of their trees (50? can't get out to most of it). Once the wind...

    Presenting "The Coffin"

    This one isn't wired or fired up yet, but the first one ("Home1" in my sig) never goes more than 2C above ambient, even with the most absurd synthetic benchmarks going. I did put two additional 80mm fans inside running at fairly high speed; they are not audible from outside the chassis.

    Lots of Snow

    Winds were gusting to 72MPH (115km/h) earlier today, we've taken about 8" (20cm) of rain, flooding and trees down everywhere. House has been without power for 12 hours already. I don't want to go home from the office (yay generators and T-1 SLAs), but can't leave the wife and kid alone in a dark...

    NAS Drive

    It is faster to throw some drives in a NAS and share them. It is also faster to enable features that the NAS supports. Of course, once you exceed the capabilities of a NAS, you are SOL. A PC-based solution can scale significantly. https://youtu.be/uykMPICGeqw

    Probably fine. Haven't gone to see anyone yet. Wife is figuring something out. Didn't mean to raise an alarm or anything, just a random comment in the random thread.

    dSLR thread

    When do you think digital viewfinders will satisfactorily (not ideally, just "enough") replace mirrored systems? I suspect we are close, and that would reduce the cost (R&D, Mfgr, service) considerably.

    So the question is, is the market big enough to support even one major DSLR player (Canon), or will the choice be Mirrorless/Hasselblad?

    We've received 6" of rain in the last 30 hours, and were already at flood levels before that. Should start getting interesting. Damaged Dam with water rising 2 feet an hour.

    Some of our industrial sites are inland, and freeze as much as a dozen nights a year. To be safe I'll put the coil about 2' underground ;)

    No delid. Just dropped it in, hit it the "5Ghz" preset on the motherboard, and then bumped the voltage and clock a notch. No idea if it is stable yet, but I may have totally lucked out. This motherboard has a vertical M.2 slot extending out near the edge, and I've just stuck the drive in there...

    Indeed. A pressure regulator could be handy. My favorite was someone who ran the coolant into a heat exchanger with their swimming pool.

    If I didn't want feedback, I wouldn't have posted it ;) I've been running 100% Koolance 702 UV-Blue in my system, and will probably continue to do so. Good to -5C and anti-corrosion/biological. UV is good for detecting leaks. As far as the rest of the cooling system is concerned, I've left a...

    Thanks! The water loop at home has been in 24/7 operation without fluid change (or even adding fluid) for nearly 4 years. The pump is a little noisier than when it was new, but no issues at all. We'll see once I stick a similar system in an industrial environment how well it holds up.

    While my Russian relatives were here, we were averaging 4-6 drinks per person per day. I stopped completely for a week after that. Just starting back up now.

    Switching to phones where you can't replace the battery because you've been having issues with the batteries seems extremely counterproductive.

    The prototype will be my home system, eventually they will go in all of the industrial environments I run. You may have noticed that the case is completely closed; no intake or exhaust ports at all. The radiator inside is a heat exchanger to get any ambient heat out of the case. The major...

    I'm currently under the impression that you can still choose which seller you want to buy from? If you don't choose they will choose for you, but if I say I only want to buy from the seller Amazon.com I'm pretty sure those items are sold by Amazon themselves?

    Didn't want to make a whole thread looking for one motherboard. m.2 SSDs are generally too close to the board to have the sandwich-style waterblocks fit. Minimizing the number of connections to help reliability is a good thing.

    Has anyone had any luck finding a ROG MAXIMUS IX EXTREME motherboard? The monoblock that incorporates the M.2 would be great for an upcoming project. Too soon after CES?

    Server rack suggestions?

    Really happy with the APC racks, but they are some of the most expensive. I have a cheap 42U 4-poster in the living room at home, no brand or anything. I will be getting rid of it in the next few months, but shipping to you would cost more than a local rack.
