I have regular workstations with SSDs that regularly get hard-off power events. If anything this has less impact than it did with spinning disks (the drive is actively writing less of the time, so less likely to interrupt a write).

Good tip. Install drain....

I was considering a pair of these in a vertical arrangement. Then I just got a 4k TV.

I decided to not actually mess with the house plumbing, but my water heater uses an electric heat pump. This means that it pulls heat from the air around the water heater to heat the water. All the waste heat from my rack goes out to the garage, and a radiator right next to the water heater...

Hard-pipe plumbing that routes to a radiator next to the rad on my heat-pump water heater. The heat produced by my computer makes my water heater more efficient. And the CPU isn't important because I'm mainly worried about the physical install/layout. Just buying the highest clockspeed CPU and...

...and the CPU is irrelevant, but the waterblock is here: Link: http://a.co/86REgQ4

I'm not made of money, and I like fast and silent computers ;)

As normal as my desktop use is. Office, Adobe, games, web browser. Nothing special. The system has plenty of RAM and has hibernation disabled.

I thought that, in normal desktop use, drives tended to have more reads than writes?

The only parts of my current workstations are: 1. Motherboard (CPU, RAM, M.2 SSD onboard) 2. GPU 3. PSU With waterblocks connected to the CPU and GPU, they aren't particularly large or heavy. There are PCIe extension cables that allow the GPU to be mounted near (but not sticking out of) the...

I don't need a second computer in the case. I'm actually looking for just a flat plate that will mount the motherboard and PSU, with the GPU mounted co-planar to the MB and VESA holes to mount the whole thing behind the monitor. Then just mount waterblocks and plumb it out to an external cooler.

I have one sitting in a box here. I hope to test it out in the next week or so.

Gaming mainly. They traded resolution for a higher refresh rate. Most of the time when I care about performance I'll be using an external monitor anyway.

The 100-400 II is as rich as I'm willing to get. And even that I am not taking on international flights.

Did you look at the size of the adapter? It is remarkably small for the power output. Smaller than the current at least.

Yes? Concentrated benefit and diffuse costs lead to distorted policy.

(Congrats on the Eizo, BTW. That can be a big purchase)

I use disposable pre-moistened wipes (same for lenses). Last thing I want to do is over-saturate the screen or rub grit on glass.

I suspect it can charge at a lower draw. Perhaps it will limit performance when on battery (I hear most modern gaming laptops do). I've booked a bed at the very front (bulkhead in front of me), so there should be room for the sensors.

Pre-ordered this. Should be good. Flying to Bucharest in about 6 weeks, and want to try the Oculus Rift on the flight.

I tell all my clients that they need their own domain, just so that they can ensure the continuity of their e-mail address. Move to new services as the old ones go bust, but keep the address.

Yup. Too old to be testing my luck.

Yup, about once every couple months. Coordinate with some old friends and game all night. It used to be in person, but now we have families and live all over the place. Gaming from work keeps me from waking the family, plus the internet connection is better. A bottle of wine and about 600ml of...

Playing Rainbow 6: Siege while drinking too much scotch. Still haven't left the office and it is 2AM.

30Hz is fine for anything but gaming. My first 4k display was 30Hz, and I appreciated the pixels more than the refresh.

I have nothing but a browser and some background services running right now. All 12 cores are 5-10% used.

I occasionally work as well. But I have a 4-year old, and a small house. If I want actual time to myself, I need to leave.

I've been playing a lot of Eve Online, Kerbal Space Program, World of Warships, and Civilization V lately. A single 1080TI should be able to do 4k@120 on those with some settings dialed back. And this is my work computer, but I play games here as well. Right now it is 8:30PM and I'm at work...

Also, no RGB, no window, no stickers. But absurdly fast. This is in preparation for 4k@144.

^Final OC was 5.1Ghz with all 6 cores, 5.5Ghz with just 2.

Not much time for tinkering, but I do still really enjoy significant builds. Here is my new rig:

Lunar, be sure to have it set up as firmly as possible. My grandmother made her wishes known to me for years, but her mental faculties faded with her health, and by the time it was time she was in full fear/denial mode and there was nothing I could do. There were two years at the end that I'm...

Sorry, Lunar. 80 still seems pretty good from here.

They have the tall skinny cans (8oz) and the tall not-skinny cans (16oz). I still just drink regular diet.

I hadn't. And probably don't care enough to switch immediately, but like that other similar platforms exist that we could switch to if needed. Thanks!

Agree on the SFP+, multi-interface cards are cheap enough that with small installs you can bridge between devices and skip switches altogether if you like.

At the moment I'm driving the HD650 with a Zoom UAC-2.

We've recently expanded to include Slack, but I'm concerned about being tied to a single vendor's product and not having adequate backups of the data.

HD650

But only $80 more ($220 vs $300) and IMO the Sennheiser sounds better.

The quality on my HE400i did dissapoint. The cables developed static when moving within a month and the foam earcup came off within 6 months of daily use. The sound is great, but I'll be going back to Sennheiser next time I buy.

I try to get one screw through some hole somewhere, but double-sided tape is fine. If the case isn't going to move, I've had them dangling for years without issue ;) Of course, the proper solution is to M.2 and not worry about cables/mounting at all.

Entire event scrubbed. Still exploring, but the project does not have any priority. Quite a bit of the equipment was purchased, so low-level tinkering will continue.

Who else is looking forward to going to work on the 25th?

I was doing full-on ASIC mining, about 8kw worth ;) Sold the hardware when it was still worth something. At the time new generations of hardware were coming fast.

I don't imagine I'm the only one that always does a bit of research and has the options front of mind. For the last few months the car hasn't been registered, so I knew it would be time soon. The three options I had on my short list were a lightly-used 2017 S3 for $41k, a moderately used 2015...

I stopped mining quite a while ago, though I still hold a fair amount.

Whelp, the A3 was cited for no reg (can't be registered in CA). I've now registered for non-operation, and it is for sale if anyone is interested. New car is a '16 VW GTI Autobahn with DSG and an APR Stage 1 ECU and TCU tune. Yes, all this happened today.

This is storageforum.net: "SF". Before this place existed, many of us were members of another place; storagereview.com "SR". This is what Lunar was talking about.
