Indeed. And then you have folks like Scott Manly who just upgraded for the first time in years to a 970. I'm trying to talk him into streaming at 4k.

He calls it a 5.25", but it looks to only be a slimline optical. I don't see a need for either myself.

So the upside is the ability to add and remove drives from the array, and to specify arbitrary logical capacities. The downside is crap performance? That is unfortunate. Time to sync off all the changes and go back to a proper RAID.

My first assumption was that there was some equivalency here; with "No Resiliency" meaning RAID0, and the other options stepping through RAID5, RAID6, and RAID1. This was further reinforced when I added a 4th drive to my "no resiliency" pool; the OS asked if I wanted to optimize drive usage and...

Using Storage Spaces in Win10 to create a 4x 8TB RAID0 array (Ultrastar He8 HUH728080ALE600). Sounds totally legit, right?

I bought and installed the Pioneer AppRadio SPH-DA210 in my car and it sucks. Only a couple apps work, only in a crippled mode, and only if you have it plugged in. The mapping app won't work until you have the external GPS antenna connected, and you need to change the keyboard on your phone to...

Thanks for that, shared as much as I can.

I was hoping it would give me the car computer capabilities I'm after. The thing that is about to cause me to pull the plug is that my screen won't sleep as long as the computer is connected, even though AirMirror won't work because my phone isn't rooted. No traffic and the battery is half gone...

I prioritize weight over all else. These are light enough that even with just the pads for contact the total pressure it probably much lower. http://www.nikevision.com/products/detail/nike-4192/#13892_007 Nah, when the kid is in (my parents) house the cat isn't. Hence the wine stand.

Interesting, but I'm not saying it's good. Just started playing. AirDroid: Do a bunch of your phone stuff on your computer.

She wouldn't be offended, so I wouldn't worry about it. ;)

Better form-factor and probably faster: M.2 SSD to USB3

Blue shirt front and center. Others in the pic are my kid, wife, and mother.

I'll need to fix that. Here I am being ridiculous with family:

100% agree that Skylake is the way to go. That Silverstone looks like it has a lot of open grille space, might be difficult to keep quiet.

They fit over glasses. I wear glasses, so if there is an issue related to that you'll hear from me.

I have one larger-scale idea that could benefit from the tech, but mainly just want to play with it at this point.

Nope, that is the pre-order. No one knew how much it was going to be until the pre-order went up. There were issues with their site right at the buzzer (naturally), so I was 26 minutes in. On one page during the order they mentioned May as a delivery date.

Shame; that was the only reason I went there.

Oculus Rift retail pre-orders go live in 30 minutes and my credit card is ready. Anyone else jumping in?

If my projector lasts long enough I'd like to wait until 75"+ OLED are reasonably priced (mid four-figures?)

Not a decision made by me at all, that part of the spec I left to them. And I haven't bought that rig yet, so I will bring it to their attention ;) Actually, the next rig they build for me will probably be for Microsoft Storage Spaces as an alternative backup location.

Yup. ESXi

RD650. Here is my latest quote:

It seems like if you didn't cheap out too badly you're already there. I was worried that there would be a new connector, or protocol, or something. Just raising the bar on image quality is a Good Thing.

New. Lenovo servers configured by them. Much faster turn around than Lenovo themselves, always have stuff in stock, and if you really spec a system up (24x SSDs, for example) they will be much cheaper.

Something like that. I'm sure they got it in volume. I mean, these guys have their own jet.

You know you made a vendor rep happy when they send you a bottle of Blue Label for the holidays.

I'm doing something similar, but using the DP and HDMI out of the same Titan X. No performance issues.

...or you could do this: Still working on the design.

The new Skylake chips are good enough that I wouldn't bother with X99 at this point. Even the i3 @ 3.7Ghz stock I got for the kid is pretty darn fast.

It is quite fun, but if you aren't willing to risk some hardware, build the loop on the rig then remove it from your hardware before leak testing. I've lost two GPUs and a MB from bad a connection in the past. Yes, this was a single install. Yes, it was with a motherboard that had built-in...

Maximum overkill. https://youtu.be/LXOaCkbt4lI Should have gone with dual PSUs and Titan Xs, but oh well.

As discussed earlier, just looking at the "stats for nerds" box... As mentioned, no idea whether that is the video bitrate or something else.

Someone recently said to me "May today be the worst day in the rest of your life". Not sure how I feel about that...

Worked for me without any prompt.

Comcast Coax-based, fast-ish. Currently running 170Mbps with 2 Youtube and one Netflix stream running and a couple torrents.

That video gave me 121Mbps on Firefox. I'm seeing the same codec as you.

Lowercase b...that is about 11.25MB/s. Right-click on a video while it is playing and check "stats for nerds".

And that bitrate looks pretty good; 90Mbps.

My wife and I have wanted a standing/sitting desk for quite a while. Our desk is nearly 10' long and spans the front window in the house. One of the big issues with adjustable height desks is the cable management. Sticking the electronics in the desk, mounting the linear drive motors in the...

Thanks for that. Is the only limitation 3D?

Do you actually dig through the disks when you want to play something? Or do you have them ripped to your NAS?

The last time I was doing a large RAQID HDD install I used 3Ware, and they let me set staggered spin-up to 3 drives every 2 seconds. It still added time to the boot. Keep in mind that without staggered spin-up they start spinning during POST and are ready to go. With staggered spin-up they do...

Thanks for that. I wonder if they could help in a larger project...

If you wanted to buy some ATX motherboard trays with I/O and PCI card support, where would you buy them? CAD model screenshot included for clarity of what I'm after. Extracting them from cases is an option, but I'd want them to look clean, so no dremel-ing.

I've never set up a Windows 10 machine using a Microsoft account. Didn't have a good reason before now, just sounded like a bad idea.

Hey, nobody wins when you have a floppy SLI Bridge...
