Wow. I don't know how long I'd have to pay tax and registration for it to equal 20% of the purchase price. Currently it is a toss-up between an S7 (not the Saleen) and Model S. Still have about 2 years to decide.

Welcome to StorageForum ;)

Strangely enough, I'm parked next to a 300' tower on a 3500' mountain at the moment. Raining like crazy with winds around 40mph gusting much higher. Glad I'm not climbing the tower today.

The media attention tends to scale with the value of the property and people effected. This seems fairly reasonable. In '92 there was some significant flooding in the Salinas/Monterey area, and my current house would have been about 5' above the flood level. The part that would be newsworthy...

The reason this isn't getting as much attention as Sandy is that this isn't a big deal and Sandy was. Downtown SF isn't going to flood. The harbors in Long Beach and Oakland will continue to operate. It doesn't snow anyplace that really matters. The west coast is just more conducive to life in...

At the end of that review they mention a different product that sounds even more exciting. LIFX

The new "Home1" computer got put together this evening. No overclocking until the larger watercooling system arrives later in the week. Amazing that this thing scores so low on the Win8 performance index (8.1-8.4)

I'll second Merc. I have Avatar, Thor, Tron: Legacy, and some others in 3D. I also have active shutter glasses for my projector. I don't think we've even watched all those once.

Ah, then we'll have to throw some action your way ;)

Plug? You're in the business?

PPD is back down to 174k. I'm not seeing very many 8057 units at all.

The link is in the bottom-right of the image.

Other thoughts might be whether certain apps are respecting your "default playback device" setting, or how many audio channels the source is trying to play?

You're going to have to get geared up to hold me off this time, Coug. ;)* Just turned the setting to "Prefer Maximum Performance". The hottest GPU is 88C-90C at this point. Not sure when they throttle? Currently three of the GPUs are on 8057s (the other is an 8054) and the PPD is at 414313. I...

Now over 275k PPD and climbing. Seems I was having some cooling issues causing one of the cards to throttle. Really should plumb though the wall and watercool with some massive passive radiator, the office is getting a bit warm. I'll go talk to the facilities guy :)

The first thing I think of is that typically the eSATA port is shared with one of the standard SATA ports on the board. Just make sure you aren't already using that one for an internal drive. It is usually labelled on the motherboard. The second thing would be the cable, but assuming you don't...

Ah, PPD is currently 171613.

No worries, I've done the same. Just wanted to intervene before anyone went postal :)

With only the 4 GPUs folding (CPU OC isn't stable enough) the system is drawing 700W. I imagine that is some points in there. WUs currently in the box are: 2x 8054, 8018, and 8057. Based on the "Credit", it looks like the 8057 is the place to be? 16520 credits in about 4 hours?

Damage control: It is "loses" ;)

I heard Christmas music in a store about two weeks ago. That means I don't walk into a retail outlet until after Valentine's Day. I'll also walk out of any restaurant playing the same.

If your single monitor is 2560x1600 there is.

The lowest powered "Platinum" rated PSU is 450W AFAIK (Antec Earthwatts). Running it that far below spec might not get you the efficiency you are looking for. The Pico PSU 160 is where I would go, but exceeding its rating is a risk.

This seems to be the best start menu for Windows 8 out there.

For the record in MechWarrior Online a single GTX690 beats out a pair of 7970s in Crossfire. I'll be swapping out the home rig early next week.

Seconding all of this.

So going into "My Computer" doesn't cause it to hang? Can you navigate to the folder that Firefox is trying to use? I'm thinking something is wrong with a folder or two in your profile.

Just spent 5 hours cleaning the rest of my office. Debating whether to tackle the last bookshelf tonight or put it off to tomorrow.

5 MSI Netbooks (mix of U100 and U123) - At least one works. Some probably with 30GB SSDs. Two with higher-capacity battery. All show signs of wear. None come with chargers. I'll throw in a neoprene case of the appropriate size. All of my upcoming lots will be "as is". Most of this equipment...

For Skype in Russian I had to go to the Russian website to get the correct download.

I'm thinking about it. Though it would probably go in lots, something like "12 video cards, GTX580 and lower, no guarantee to functionality" or "12 Hard Drives under 1TB, no guarantee to functionality". Think anyone would be interested?

I moved offices about a year ago, so I don't really have an excuse. I suspect I'll be filling my car with e-waste again soon.

Just don't look at the rest of the office. I'm hoping that people will take time off next week so I'll be able to finish my cleaning.

I was looking at the HCL for that particular board and couldn't find any of their 8GB modules in stock anywhere. Tempted to compromise to 4GB modules (16GB total). And considering the chip has an unlocked multiplier I can just get good 1600Mhz modules and run them within spec. Anyone have a...

I don't really pay attention, but 10 days total would sound about right.

Moved things around a bit.

Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB 2133Mhz?

Great pictures

I don't think I fried anything, it is still stable below that, just not at the higher baseclock.

"Home 1" is no longer stable anywhere above 3.6Ghz. Which 8GB DIMMs would you pair with an i7-3970X and Assassin2 motherboard for maximum overclock?

Nope, a Belkin plug meter.

Home theater stuff mostly, 3D BlueRay disks are 50GB+ each, and a 60,000+ song music collection. Plus I keep encrypted backups of my client's data (I don't know the key, but I keep the data). Since the space is there, I also keep every RAW image I've ever taken sorted by date and shoot. With...

Sorry, hadn't updated the signature.

And my only macro lens is a 180; even bigger than what the others have. A friend has one of the smaller cameras, I'll try asking her about it tonight.

While I'm sure Merc has more, this is a decent amount of storage for a house. Still populating the larger network share from elsewhere, might be a few days.

And the only drive that system has is an SSD.

Apparently I had the DVI cable connected to the wrong port on the back of the card and was forcing triple-SLI insead of quad. Now it draws 790W and scores an X10460. That is some serious draw from a computer that idles at 200W.

Managed to get "Work" to 666W while pulling a 3DMark 2011 score of X8469. I think that is good.

Sweet. I'll have this rig dialed in and ready for sale by then.
