    Recomendation for GPUs for FPM on the cheap.

    I need some hardware for folding... Cost is a big factor. Something like Supermicro 1U SYS-6016GT. If i was to purchase a few of these units would a pair desktop graphics cards work like a 650ti.... instead of the telsa. Understanding that the 650ti has 768 cores while the telsa has 2048.. its...

    Year round garage servers - cooling?

    I used a mini split to cool my bunker project, They seem to offer best efficiency.. way more than a portable ac. I know a few peeps who built in a container, often cheaper and more rugged than a shed. Check out the SGI ice cube air.

    Why should I pay more for a server rack ?

    The dell 4210's are well built and cheaper than apc for a used solution.. I use legrand/ortronics for everything I do now..

    Nas4Free USB Dedicated?

    BYOD colo does that exist? I was kinda thinking about usb sticks seeing as 32Gb and 64Gb are common now. I guess byod with a lite low power dedicated nas4free box (Like a Raspberry Pi or atom). So mail in a large amount of data, to access/stream how you like. Say you could mail a 256Gb Usb...

    Trusty kit you cannot part with!

    Like others.. Got a Lenovo x61 that I use every day for network testing, billing, play and now for posting on STH. Four years ago I nervously sold my x31 to buy it, last year it got ssd and 8gb for our anniversary. No paint on keyboard anymore... A true love affair.
