In my experience Supermicro makes very affordable and not very good stuff. I really liked their 1U barebones machines for a couple years; until things started failing. Now I just get 4U chassis and stick desktop hardware in them. Doesn't seem to be any less reliable, and is quicker and cheaper...

I have a few of those Three Hundreds with the 430W PS; easy case to work with, looks good, no complaints.

Pebble Bed Reactor

I suspect that they understand that the main value they were providing was the controller. Now that they own the controller manufacturer, they actually have some value.

I'm quite happy with the added real estate going to FF4. It makes the bookmarks toolbar more useful even on narrow screens.

Looks like I lucked out here. I didn't buy any.

The thing that is bugging me at the moment if that none of the press is talking reactors with passive safety vs. those without. Only reactors without passive safety are ever in danger of this kind of problem.

Well, my average is back below you and Mark, and there are only 9k points between Handruin and I.

I don't have a need at the moment, in the past I've used different solutions.

Is that what it would take? I've always been concerned about breaking stuff.

That is really interesting. I have a number of applications where I would like a write and read capability, but not change or delete.

Dexpot looks interesting, but I think I prefer just having more monitors.

According to Antec, my revised home computer requires an 806W power supply. According to my Kill-a-Watt, it is drawing 550W at full load. That isn't bad. ;)

Nope. The American people are (on average) idiots. The only thing we can hope is that they don't notice. Of course, if we used more modern techniques like a Traveling Wave Reactor, this would be less of an issue.

If you leave the BIOS boot order at "Basic" where you only specify HDD, CDROM, Network, then you're fine. If you go to "Advanced", where you specify devices individually, hardware changes can shake things up.

1. Under volting a laptop can kill it. 2. Netbooks are perfectly capable of dying without help.

Good thing my boat was on it's trailer; 3' storm surge in the harbor. Broke a bunch of boats off their moorings, sunk 3. The water was leaving the harbor at 20kts.

True. Unless you got the highest-capacity drives that still used all the channels. IIRC, they actually did a recall on this problem.

I'm pretty sure that GPU Tracker V2 uses the console clients in the background anyway. And I've confirmed the update to the A5 client on all my machines. My fastest machine (work) is working on a 6900 right now, and will likely finish well inside of 3 days.

Conversely, Buck's shop has always had excellent service.

FuturePowerPC yanked me around for days on the 3tb wd drives. I wouldn't use them again.

Intel 40gb ssd? Depends on the capacity requirements.

Same here, which if a little surprising.

Wow. I understand that the police need to pursue crime, it is what they do and crime is a bad thing, but I wonder what the cost of just your case is.

So the delivery company had put it on your porch, someone took it, opened it, and abandoned it in a public location, where it was brought to the attention of the police, who then sent someone to your house to wait for you to get home? Wow. That is pretty wild.

Then just watch your regular TV cross-eyed and pretend ;) Honestly, I don't feel 3D contributes significantly yet. Give me some real VR goggles and some decent content and we'll talk.

It will be, but I think the RevoDrive is an old enough model to not have them at the moment.

I don't think so.

We don't have (nor need) a system that tracks "useful" posts, so we work with what we have ;)

I hate Paypal, and refuse to create an account or tie it to a bank account. Even though resellers say they accept credit card payments through paypal even if you don't have an account, paypal will refuse to process payments from a card after you've put $10k on that card until you create an...

Interesting. I've seen people use a bellows rig to create a tilt-shift effect of some kind, but this guy made his own lenses and left the bellows on the rail. Probably a PITA to work with, but I'm interested in the results.

Wow. Do I want to know?

Most of this stuff is for clients, but I get to stress test for a while. Also, as it warms, I won't be able to run the stuff at home full-throttle. Edit: It stays cool quite a bit longer where you live ;)

Another 570 showed up today, I'll be seeing you soon ;)

Got it working again, just had to terminate all the FAH processes and try again. Has Fushigi finished for the summer? Edit: Looks like LiamC has stopped as well?

When it was just me it didn't bother me to be self employed. Some months I made twenty grand, some none. Now that I am married with a mortgage, there is no way I could handle the pressure. Just be sure top have a plan "b". Something else you could take up that mightsuck but would pay the bills...

You bet. Or a16x slot for that matter.

I'd like to thank our fearless leader for 8k+ very appreciated and useful posts. Congrats!

So get two and RAID1 them ;) I still haven't had any fail.

They are available in sizes that could be easily large enough for just about anything, and are plenty fast.

Mine start downloading fine, but before all three can finish it stops and returns an error: FATAL ERROR: Could not download clients Check your internet connection, then try Setup -> Download FAH Clients I'm certain if the stupid program would just wait a few more seconds before erroring out it...

Home 1 is completely offline, as FAH GPU Tracker won't download the new SMP client.

IPA ;)

B3, Your post basically says "computers that aren't available now will be faster than the ones that are". While I agree, it isn't particularly...novel ;)

I would stop at the GA-X58A-UD7.

$1.87/MHz is a bit steep, even at these prices. No OCing on this machine at all; CAD, Photoshop, and FSX.

Sounds good to me, of course it doesn't involve much effort on my part ;) I also lack the skills to do much of anything in this scenario. My contribution may just be financial/hardware.

Spiffy onboard audio and networking gear. And the ability to go triple crossfire. The one that supports quad crossfire costs another $100.

I love some of my consulting clients; they seem to be made of money. 5 items in my Newegg cart, totaling $2500: Intel Core i7-970 Gulftown 3.2GHz LGA 1366 130W Six-Core GIGABYTE G1.Sniper LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Kingston HyperX T1 Black Series 24GB (6 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM...

I've noticed that only when the screens where cleaned while still hot. Whatever liquid dries before it can be removed.
