We have a meeting tonight to vote to amend the bylaws for the first phase. Soon after there will be one for the 2nd phase of amending the bylaws again to remove the developer friendly anti-lawsuit crap so we can then file suit. The whole thing is going to be a big mess. There's actually a...

I think it's different from that. Either the clauses preventing changes without the developer's consent are binding or they aren't. If they aren't binding then you can ignore those sections and take out whatever you want. If they are binding, how can you remove them without the developers...

Okay, this one blew my mind... The homeowner's association for the subdivision I live in wants to take legal action against the developer, but the bylaws for the association could be interpreted as forbidding them from doing that. The bylaws also forbid the modification of certain parts of the...

Now I'm without a CPU for this build. My attempts to get the processor I wanted at the price I wanted to pay did not pan out. I guess my options are: Suck it up and pay for the E5-2689. The best price is currently $225. Get an E5-2670 for $65 and get about 91% of the performance I would have...

:erm: And you have your own thermal camera?

If you want to have your mind blown see how promo code 0301RCKHSE88 applies to Toshiba X300 HDWE150XZSTA 5TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Desktop Internal Hard Drive Retail Kit as you increase the quantity in your cart from 1 up to the limit of 5. The more drives you buy the less per...

4 x 4TB Toshiba 7200 RPM drives ordered. I wanted a 5th (spare), but B&H wouldn't sell more than 4 at the discounted $115 price. I will order a 5th from them in a day or two presuming the price doesn't jump.

8 sticks of Registered PC3-12800 ECC DDR3 DIMMs have been purchased on eBay. It's not on the Supermicro HCL, but uses Micron chips. This chip to be exact. Basically all the replies at STH said I should be fine venturing off the tested memory list if I stick to Samsung, SK.Hynix, and Micron...

Why would you expect W10 to still work after restoring the Win 7 image? I'm sure you overwrote boot.ini and other relevant files.

I offered the one guy 75% of his asking price. The other was similar.

I seem to have the reverse Midas touch today. All my attempts to buy parts for my LGA 2011 Xeon build via eBay today failed. I made several Best Offers and they straight up got declined, not even a counter offer.

No, it's 6.0 now.

Yes, it seems exactly the same as before. I'm not sure what the point was.

I fixed the link.

Can you run SSD Life on it for another opinion?

Can you pull the drives and run diagnostics on them in another PC connected via SATA and run some diagnostic programs on them that way and see what they tell you?

Do you have any other choice? Seems like at the very least you need to temporarily replace them for troubleshooting.

They also have used Intel dual processor motherboards: http://www.natex.us/Dual-Xeon-E5-2600-v2-socket-16-DIMM-Motherboard-LG-p/s2600cp.htm

They're all over eBay for under $75 with make offer options. The demand of people going crazy buying them has actually pushed the price of them up a bit on eBay. Natex.us has them for $65 shipped free.

Interesting... The guys at servethehome have assured me that I won't have any problems, and that it only gets dicey when you're using all the slots with max capacity sticks. I ordered the X9SRA and a bunch of other components from Newegg last night, so I guess I'm committed now. I haven't...

How long ago was this / what generation of hardware? And how far off the HCL were you? The folks at servethehome don't seem to cite them as particularly picky. They reference other things as being picky.

Between these two, which would you get for a workstation / non-server role? Supermicro X9SRA or ASRock Rack EPC602D8A They're $271.99 and $299.99 respectively. On the Supermicro side: 10 SATA connectors and they're all on the Intel controller Uses standard 2011 HSF, not narrow (some reviews...

That exactly what I would expect someone in foreign espionage to say. :rofl:

What is your sector? :scratch:

After thinking about it more the EPC602D8A has something else going for it too. You can get 64gB (8x8gB) in registered ECC 1333MHz DIMMs for about $120 on eBay. 32gB (4x8gB) of ECC 1600MHz UDIMMs is over $200. Even skipping ECC and going with regular DDR3 32gB (4x8gB) of 1600MHz DIMMs is...

This alternative sort of puts a cap on the price of a used X79 board, but it's more than I was hoping to spend by at least 2x.

Why wouldn't they?

So you can get some killer deals on used V1 Xeon (SandyBridge E/EP) processors on eBay, but the X79 / 2011 motherboards are gone from the sales channels which leaves you with an C602, 604, or 606 server chipset, but those are also pretty rare and expensive too. They're generally not well suited...

Any additional 6TB drives are on hold due to a development well out of my control. However, I bought a used Norco 4220 on a forum though. It's already got the 120mm fan wall, all Noctua PWM fans (120mm's and 80mm's), and an Intel RES2SV240 SAS Expander and SFF-8087 cabling. That enclosure...

So it turns out the answer is a little more complicated. It depends on the type of protection on the disc. This nugget was also posted: I don't have the IP and I'm not sure I want to go through all my BD+ discs and run them through my drives.

That didn't work, but as of this morning it is prompting me about the update. I think I will wait until after working hours to apply it.

Uh, it still works fine. It just don't work for releases newer than their offline database bundled with the software. I think the last offline database is from Oct 2015.

They set up in Antigua. Basically Hollyweird used their lobbying powers to get the US to play hardball with Antigua. https://torrentfreak.com/hollywood-escalates-dvd-ripping-case-to-international-incident-160213/

So the next domino has fallen. Slysoft has ceased operation. :blue:

Looks like it's $2,229.92 at WiredZone (Supermicro).

It seems like a how to pirate 10 Pro guide to me.

So you were able to "free" upgrade a Windows XP install?

Install Classic Shell and start tweaking.

Thanks for the confirmation of what build the MCT downloaded.

I'm pretty sure she's a Russian spy posing as a Canadian.

I could put the 4TB mirror on the motherboard controller to give me up to 20 drives on the large array in this enclosure... I just can't see running out and buying another 10-12 drives now at another $2900.

How do I do that?

I'm pretty sure it's a MultiMediaCard ;)

T-Mobile says Marshmallow is available for the G4, but I haven't seen an update for it yet.

The really large array is basically just for media files (audio, video, pictures, etc). The 4TB mirror is for storing backup data from other systems in the house, drivers, applications/program installers, etc. I guess I could have put it all on a single large array, but I've currently got them...

With all the stuff I've got I can get up to about 18x6TB on the main array. I need 2 ports for another RAID-1 array (2x4TB). I want to put a single 3.5" HDD connected to the motherboard for something else. Using a reverse SFF-8087 to SATA cable will consume 4 ports on the backplane leaving me...

:rofl: It's working fabulously!

Waiting 5 days for an OCE and having your server basically out of commission during the process doesn't seem very desirable either, but obviously it's got to be faster than restoring from the cloud. Based on the less then stellar results of my OCE, I'm thinking to start with more drives than 8...

My G4 (T-Mobile) still has 5.x. It's working fine for me. I feel no compulsion to run out and replace it with a G5.

MCT = Media Creation Tool. I expect that's the program you used to download the ISO. Reportedly it only downloads the 1511 build from Microsoft now, so you should have the right one already.
