The original looked like a coffin. Version 3 not so much. Yup, still in the living room. I have a place in the garage for it, but cable length restrictions are preventing that. Now that the computers are near silent, heat-neutral, and one-sided, I'm considering a new desk design that...

http://imgur.com/a/PkZ5l Any reason the file attachment size has gotten so small?

This is a public test, they are losing huge amounts on each car and the fuel.

Wife and kid are off to the Aquarium and museums for the day. I am back in my office keeping an eye on things and making sure the generator is behaving itself. I was just out at the country club, they seem to have lost about 10% of their trees (50? can't get out to most of it). Once the wind...

This one isn't wired or fired up yet, but the first one ("Home1" in my sig) never goes more than 2C above ambient, even with the most absurd synthetic benchmarks going. I did put two additional 80mm fans inside running at fairly high speed; they are not audible from outside the chassis.

Yup, and it is a cool car, too. Just no fuel around me here...

Machine #2

Winds were gusting to 72MPH (115km/h) earlier today, we've taken about 8" (20cm) of rain, flooding and trees down everywhere. House has been without power for 12 hours already. I don't want to go home from the office (yay generators and T-1 SLAs), but can't leave the wife and kid alone in a dark...

It is faster to throw some drives in a NAS and share them. It is also faster to enable features that the NAS supports. Of course, once you exceed the capabilities of a NAS, you are SOL. A PC-based solution can scale significantly. https://youtu.be/uykMPICGeqw

Probably fine. Haven't gone to see anyone yet. Wife is figuring something out. Didn't mean to raise an alarm or anything, just a random comment in the random thread.

Grr. Time to go get a doctor. Wife said something something lymph node draining something something. Not feeling awesome.

My father-in-law is ex-politburo, and even he warns not to trust anyone who is friends with Putin.

When do you think digital viewfinders will satisfactorily (not ideally, just "enough") replace mirrored systems? I suspect we are close, and that would reduce the cost (R&D, Mfgr, service) considerably.

So the question is, is the market big enough to support even one major DSLR player (Canon), or will the choice be Mirrorless/Hasselblad?

This dam was built in the 60s. The tail of infrastructure is very long.

Yup. Dropping rocks into the spillway just sounds like putting more bullets in the gun to me.

I just use the nVidia screen cap utility and then crop in post.

MKBHD just turned me on to these guys, and I'm really digging it. https://youtu.be/jRHQPG1xd9o

We've received 6" of rain in the last 30 hours, and were already at flood levels before that. Should start getting interesting. Damaged Dam with water rising 2 feet an hour.

Doubt it. The only time I've had to was for government work.

Customers are realizing how ineffective polys actually are and the vendors are trying to outrun the efficacy results with "new methods".

Once SF can drink we really need to put together an IRL party...

We missed the 15th birthday of SF, but yay!

Nope. Not stable @ 5.1Ghz. Back to 5.0 at stock voltage. That'll do.

Some of our industrial sites are inland, and freeze as much as a dozen nights a year. To be safe I'll put the coil about 2' underground ;)

No delid. Just dropped it in, hit it the "5Ghz" preset on the motherboard, and then bumped the voltage and clock a notch. No idea if it is stable yet, but I may have totally lucked out. This motherboard has a vertical M.2 slot extending out near the edge, and I've just stuck the drive in there...

Sorry, that from my phone and went to sleep. Didn't preview. Fixed.

It's alive!

I have a corp sales rep, so I wasn't aware that they are out of stock on the website. Sorry about that.

Indeed. A pressure regulator could be handy. My favorite was someone who ran the coolant into a heat exchanger with their swimming pool.

When I lived in Denver my regular bar had breathalyzers at the bar and with the bouncer on the way to the parking lot. Made for interesting...research.

If I didn't want feedback, I wouldn't have posted it ;) I've been running 100% Koolance 702 UV-Blue in my system, and will probably continue to do so. Good to -5C and anti-corrosion/biological. UV is good for detecting leaks. As far as the rest of the cooling system is concerned, I've left a...

If I want high certainty for an OEM battery I order directly from Verizon. Though to be honest I don't think the quality of the "OEM" batteries is that much better than the crap generics...

Thanks! The water loop at home has been in 24/7 operation without fluid change (or even adding fluid) for nearly 4 years. The pump is a little noisier than when it was new, but no issues at all. We'll see once I stick a similar system in an industrial environment how well it holds up.

While my Russian relatives were here, we were averaging 4-6 drinks per person per day. I stopped completely for a week after that. Just starting back up now.

Switching to phones where you can't replace the battery because you've been having issues with the batteries seems extremely counterproductive.

Self-driving car that will bring itself out of the lot and to the front door.

I find myself going back to vodka tonic over wine or scotch lately. Perhaps I'm just not drinking enough.

The prototype will be my home system, eventually they will go in all of the industrial environments I run. You may have noticed that the case is completely closed; no intake or exhaust ports at all. The radiator inside is a heat exchanger to get any ambient heat out of the case. The major...

Prototype 2 is looking pretty good. Going to be moving over to it fully over the weekend.

Gigity.

I'm currently under the impression that you can still choose which seller you want to buy from? If you don't choose they will choose for you, but if I say I only want to buy from the seller Amazon.com I'm pretty sure those items are sold by Amazon themselves?

Nope, no room for U.2 in this install. M.2 only.

Didn't want to make a whole thread looking for one motherboard. m.2 SSDs are generally too close to the board to have the sandwich-style waterblocks fit. Minimizing the number of connections to help reliability is a good thing.

Has anyone had any luck finding a ROG MAXIMUS IX EXTREME motherboard? The monoblock that incorporates the M.2 would be great for an upcoming project. Too soon after CES?

Really happy with the APC racks, but they are some of the most expensive. I have a cheap 42U 4-poster in the living room at home, no brand or anything. I will be getting rid of it in the next few months, but shipping to you would cost more than a local rack.

He may as well have said "We were losing money on you anyway"

Yup. Now exploring the corporate version. Could be very useful.
