Are you sure that is the right link, Lunar?

It was about double what the parts alone were at the time. Considering what was involved for permitting (let alone installation), I am entirely happy with the decision. Lawyers were involved over the course of 3 months to get permission to install a system of that size.

The fans are typically pretty easy to replace, though I've only had to do it once.

PG&E (our local power company) only allows residential solar to reach 80% of their average consumption (or something like that). Otherwise they won't let it grid-connect. And you are correct, that is a typo. 6.3kW. Edit: No battery bank, though that is in the plan for later.

One is actually still down, but thanks for the reminder. And I couldn't get permission to install the 6kW system, so it ended up being much smaller :( Everything installed 20x 260w panels 1x 3.6kW inverter 1x Wireless network interface 20 year performance warranty and monitoring $26,520

There is something to be said to making the resolution so high that no one notices any scaling issues at any size, ever. Of course, the insane added cost and compute times for everything make this a crazy plan at the moment.

Every system I've seen like this has a rolling window. Frequently the previous code doesn't stop working until the completion of the next window.

Just took delivery of 96 cans of Diet Coke at the office (Amazon Pantry). Should hold over the group for a couple months.

That conversation is useful because it is an excellent way to convey to them how stupid the entire thing is.

Man, CivV took up so much of my time... Not saying good or bad, but remind me not to pick up any side work.

"Worth a damn" is a bit vauge for this kind of thing. They can display pictures. The DPI will be lower than just about any print but may be high enough for most applications (depending on screen size). Color gamut will almost certainly be worse than good prints.

I'm certain that the first porn was carved into the walls of caves.

Not a problem at all, but I'm down 8x T-1s at the moment. Let me get this taken care of and I'll do a more complete write-up.

Interesting considering the performance has been benchmarked a number of times by press and private owners, and the performance was as advertised. Did they have to change something for the cold weather?

I prefer the embedded video, but I remember someone mentioning that it broke something in the mobile client. If that isn't an issue in the new system I'd rather go back to embedded.

I'm game for anything. The speed improvements of the latest hardware upgrade you made was all I could want.

I've seen that data visualized a number of ways, but that is more intuitive than most.

These days when I give my phone number, I smile when I say "don't bother calling, I don't answer". They get it.

I'm with Merc on this one. "SMS: like e-mail, but worse."

I bought tons of them about 3-6 years ago. Good quality, excellent price. Both have suffered since.

Sounds right. Most NATing routers have a DNS server in them, but it is unlikely to support this kind of conditional redirect.

Most I've requested did stop, but only after several more weeks. It usually says in their fine print that a 3rd party does the e-mails, and that your address will be removed the next time they update the list with that 3rd party.

Chewy, sorry I didn't reply earlier. None of the cases that they offer are completely sealed. Airborne particles (some magnetic and conductive, most thermally inulating) are what I'm trying to avoid.

I want to built one of these so bad; I'll do it for anyone here at just the cost of parts. Just let me know. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yVpXDnKehe_lIthkwYhvviuqB7WYItQLTraJpKZoZkw/edit?usp=sharing Once I find a customer or two I might make one for myself.

It could, but that makes warranty returns or servicing significantly harder.

Interesting. My patience expired yesterday; new OS install came with a switch to Chrome. We'll see if they can get me back.

Thanks for the idea sdbardwick. Going to a larger internal radiator isn't that big an issue; I've designed the case to fit larger if needed, though I'd just go to normal waterblocks on CPU/etc if they were a significant point source.

I also wrote that a radiator inside the case will handle any additional heat buildup from other components. For a lower-end computer (like the P3 I mentioned earlier), the water loop may just be a radiator inside the chassis picking up heat and dumping it to a radiator outside the chassis.

Several of the computers that will be housed in these chassis are made and sold by some of our software vendors. They contain specific hardware configurations that need to be maintained (P3 with a specific chipset and a several custom PCI cards). They are happy to sell us these computers in $60...

Looking to have a sealed, water cooled, rack mount chassis built by Protocase. This will allow installation in really dirty industrial or commercial locations. No HDD mounts (M.2 and PCIe will be fine). Normal PSU is mounted internally to recirculate internal air. Hot components will have their...

Thank you for not linking and yet describing so well, because visceral horror isn't something I'm interested in looking at at all.

I think Will is talking about a situation where he worked for a company that offered consulting services to other companies. This is a fairly common structure in many engineering and legal professions.

Fixed your link, Lunar (it was pointing back to this thread). If you wanted a flashlight that took 1x AA, which would it be?

A couple years ago Ars calculated that writing to an SSD (forget which one) continuously at max speed couldn't reach the wear life within the warranty period. This isn't something that I worry about.

Here the only structured bonus is a profit-sharing plan; once you are full-time and salary for more than 2 years you receive some percentage of net profits proportional to your base pay. This number is so far divorced from my performance that it has no impact on how I do my job. I will...

My office is out in the boonies; miles from anything. The closest food is a country club that my boss owns and I support. Good food, excellent service, and just as fast as driving a bit further to get drive-thru. The only catch is that I'd go broke eating there twice a day.

In EVE Online, one of the favorite hobbies of the group I'm with is to find gamers who are live-streaming and shit-talking, stalk them down in-game, and embarrass them in front of their audience. Just killing them isn't enough; try to do it with the weakest possible ship, or find other assets...

My G4 died last weekend. 2 weeks to go before the 1-year warranty expired. They didn't have any more G4, so they sent me a G5. Happy enough with it.

My (dual) 1080 setup is silent; the pump and rad are 15' away through a wall.

Big fan of Echo. Three at the house; kid knows how to run it.

If a meeting doesn't involve a physical object of some kind, I generally decline going. If there is an object (building inspection, product review, sample analysis) then I go; typically 2-3 a week.

The blocks are card specific; they'll only work with 980s and that generation of Titan X. I don't have a gaming system on order that would fit this product. I suppose I could build out a full rig an put that up for sale, but that is more cost, as well.

I'd completely agree with that. I wouldn't be surprised if the current value is less than one of the cards originally. Depreciation on products with this fast a lifecycle is pretty brutal.

No interest at all? Would anyone care to speculate at the best way to sell such a thing, and a reasonable price?

Stoked about that. Hoping the bonkers drivetrain is an option in the Model 3.

Thanks for that. I've been using the baking method for a dozen a week. I don't even own a steamer. Any suggestions?

The advantage of oversized cases is that you can position fans inside the chassis right next to the components that you care about. I hope to be revising my personal rig today (if the kid lets me). I'll post some pics when I can.

It does, but I just put a car on it. ;) It would fit both, but then I wouldn't be able to pay it off this month. Even 20W continuous output would get darn hot without significant active airflow. Particularly if you have many of them in a chassis.
