I noticed two things today : We passed the 150 million mark. Tea out-produced Santilli this month (so far).

The specs only list the 2 USB 2.0 rear ports, but omits the front 4 USB 2.0 ports. Odd. Together with the FACE module, it would make a great alternative to a Ubiquity router IMO. I have not read how much it cost though.

Nevermind. It worked this time.

Also, from what I read, the power consumption of 1.5V RAM versus 1.35V RAM isn't worth the trouble for a standard board (4 RAM slots or less). It might make sens for a server board with 16 RAM slots, but not for a maintream board. The difference I saw what only 1-2W. Not something you'll want...

The double-clic only works for the "Reply with Quote" for me. No matter how fast I double-clic on "Reply", it only sends me to the bottom of the page for a quick reply. I don't mind since that's how I wrote most of my posts since the forum upgrade.

Seagate cut it back to a laughable single year. WD only removed a year of their past three years warranty for their Green and Blue series.

For the enclosure, the smallish Silverstone TJ08-E can accomodate a small motherboard (µ-ATX) and it has a big, low-noise 180mm fan. It's not silent, but I bet it can match the noise level of the Antec P180. There's also the cheaper version from the same company : the PS07. It is 20$ less...

It's just Dave showing off his Asus DP LGA2011 board, expecting a concert of comments from envious people ranging from "Oh you're so lucky" to "GFY I hate you!". ;-)

You know those 35$ Dynatron heatsinks aren't exactly pleasant company, right? 7000rpm for a 60mm size, I let you figure it out. You don't want this outside of a server room.

I think the part Greg will understand is having 25% of his total disk space in RAM. I'm sure he has at least a terabyte drive so... Hey, 16 sticks aren't that expensive.

Why bother if you've sent back the Superµ narrow-socket board?

Petrol is actually quite expensive these days around here.

So here we have : Bozo : WD not good, but Seagate is worse. CougTek : WD not good, but Seagate is worse. BBB : WD not good, but Seagate is worse. Handruin : WD ok (sample too limited to tell otherwise), Seagate not good. Mercutio : Seagate not good, but can't compare with WD because I haven't...

Nope, but I will.

My experience is similar to Bozo's. My advice too.

The Asus board is more expensive than the Superµ you currently have. On the positive side, it can overclock its processors. Your enclosure has holes for SSI EBB motherboards, right? A rackmount case should, but I ask for the form. You know you'll be able to fit two Revo drives more on this...

That should be interesting. Products based on it should arrive in a few months I guess. News source Press release

I'm now typing from the PC-BSD installation. It's actually quite nice, but very spartan. There's not even a Net browser installed by default. The AppCafe lets you install a bunch of available softwares smoothly though. I replaced the original single-core CPU on which I made the...

I bet War and Peace and he won't let them leave before he finishes.

Oh, you're ok. "Time" is a four letter word/name ;-)

That's a shameful, lame and idiotic reply. It doesn't help you the slightless either. If you go to the page of the SC825 chassis, it does not include any heatsink, which is obvious, but there's a link to their heatsinks and fans page, none of them being compatible with socket R. And if...

With the accent I have when I speak English, viewers would say that computer gears aren't the only things I massacre.

I could start a web series called "Folding at home", but I bet I would get in trouble with some guys at Stanford university.

How many PCIe 4X or more does your motherboard have and what kind of budget is at your disposal to make it work smoothly? What's the average size of VM you target? If the VM aren't too big, then it might be worth looking at replacing the 15Krpm drives with Revo drives. The Revo 3 Max IO...

Thanks, but my donation for the forum (and you) was a one-way trip. I should be ok financially for now and I have a few alternatives if things worsen. Thanks for the offer. BTW, my version is more often "will it bend" than "will it blend".

Awww...I looked at the number of replies to the thread. So he posted the 10000th post and me the 10000th reply. Whatever. My post is at the top of the page and his is burried at the bottom of last page. No one will see his, but all can admire mine :P Do you guys know if there are many other...

Do you think your experiment with over 300 simultaneous VM would run smoothly on a volume of 4 or 5 Revo drive in RAID 5 (if such a thing is possible)? Or was your bottleneck on the CPU side in that case?

Almost Chewy. Now it's 10000. I wonder how many forums have a thread that large on the Net.

Since I don't even know if I'll have money to eat this week-end (looking good though), I certainly won't ruin one of my systems for the sole purpose of replacing it to help Dave figure out how to screw his heatsinks, no matter how nice a guy he is. If you are going to run the FAH client on...

Thanks, I forgot about PC-BSD. I've downloaded the iso and I'll install it later this evening.

And my links magically restarted working.

I hate you! I've never setup an LGA2011 platform so far, so I won't be of much help to troubleshoot your issue. Sorry.

Thanks Chewy. I already found it yesterday before you posted it, but it's a nice touch to have linked it here. Xorg finally finished compiling, but now it freezes as soon as I launch it. I'll have to configure it I guess. More things to learn...

Labatt Bleu is not a bad beer. Among the big label beers around here, it's actually one of the good ones. I prefer the Labatt 50 from the same company. But I don't drink much of the big label beers. The Rickard's Dark is a good local beer, just like the Boréale Noire. My favorite beer is a...

They changed it indeed. All the links worked two days ago. I'm even browing on Firefox 11.0 final right now. I got the link from Majorgeeks. I don't know why they still haven't launched it yet on Mozilla's site.

Maxburn, that's version 10. The one I linked is the fast-pace version.

Nope, I'm zen like a Japanese elder. I sent them an e-mail. At this point, I think I'll try to re-send them the drive just to have them pay shipping once more, even if it apparently makes no sense to try receiving the proper drive from them.

They sent me back another 7K1000.C instead of a 7K1000.D. Unbelievable. Screwing twice on the same RMA. Way to go Hitachi!

Because the customer has a few BSD servers. I'm already familiar with CentOS since I've used it for a few computers of my folding@home farm. It is my understanding that there are significant differences between Linux and BSD, so I want to see if I can work with both. I never made a shared...

While I'm nowhere near being able to do it, I wondered what kind of beer I would drink with you lads if I ever realize my long-planned trip to Australia. I don't even remember what a Carlsberg tastes like. You certainly have better stuff down there?

The point being that you're a little soupe-au-lait? That's ok ; we all have our days. Bastard, what handling problems? You mean all cruiser bikes or only the light ones like the 250cc V-Star? Someone told me that a cruiser with less than a 1000cc engine is harder to control because it's too...

I need to learn how to run a BSD server. It will probably be an OpenBSD installation, but I still don't know, so I chose to try FreeBSD instead as it seems to be more user-friendly. I made a bootable USB stick with FreeBSD 6.2 64-bit on it, using Universal USB Installer. I installed it on a...

Yeah : lower the seat and put a pillow.

Regarding the bike, a Yamaha V-Star 250 wouldn't be a bad choice if you want a different style. 3.13L/100Km and only cost ~4500$. You'd look a little more bad ass than on a wannabee sport bike...if it's possible to look bad ass on a 250cc motorcycle. I looked at harley Davidson's bikes, but...

In United States perhaps, but in Québec and Europe, it's L/100Km. I'm pretty sure sure it's the same in Asia too. I don't know about Australia. I find it easier to calculate how much gas I'll need for a trip the way Ddrueding presented it than reversing it the common american way.

You only socialize with teenage girls (or younger)?

I'm no plumber. What's that part for? I tought a faucet was something that controls the flow of water in a sink.

I don't know what a rainbow dash toy is, but I presume it's some kind of cheap plastic toy the clown gives to kids when they order something at the obese-morphing junk food chain. I'm more worried about the effects of eating all week at McDo than on you depriving children of their laughable toys.

I think it's a Nissan Cube.

"The mother of all tsunami" would likely be caused by an asteroid impact in the ocean or a catastrophic landslide not too far away from your location on the coast. In either way, the wave's speed created by such events would greatly exceed whatever speed you'd be able to reach on a dirt bike...
