Well...there is that 1:1 scale Mould King motorized P90 PDR in a box somewhere that I didn't put together yet, but...eh, putting it near a server rack would be a bit...ridiculous.

Depends on whether it'll run over the sloppy seconds behind a shedding DC-10...

Well, that home server guardian has been upgraded...

Are you running it with the octagonal stand on the VESA mount holes (horizontally), stood up on the stand (vertically) or is it sitting without any elevation? There should be an air gap under the thin client to allow convection cooling to happen. The t640 by itself usually idles at the high...

Oh yeah, to follow up on my own thread - eeeh, I just bought a "new" t640 that came with the USB-C card pre-populated. In case you are wondering what the 10 pin cable is doing going from the option port card to the motherboard - it's a USB-PD cable. So yes, it's totally possible to power the...

As long as it has a fan that pushes airflow through and stays below 40w in terms of power consumption, it should be fine. Most issues with 3rd party NICs and GPUs on the t740 has to do with airflow and/or the device pulling too much power from the slot and destabilizing the entire system.

No. Different model series, different form factor - the connector on the port is not compatible.

Use the standard Win10 Installer ISO, Windows should be able to grab the digital entitlement license from the hardware and activate it directly - you shouldn't have to grab the installation media...unless you care about the factory image contents.

Same thing. AES-NI has been around for so long (since 2010 with the Nehalems on the Intel side, and Jaguar/Puma/15h on the AMD side) that no one would call it "AES New Instructions" (what AESNI stands for). Unless you are on Via Nano (which in 2023 is very unlikely, and it does have its own...

yep, looks like the AGESA microcode updates will take a bit to propagate - keep an eye out if you use Epyc Rome, Threadripper 3000 (Castle Peak), or Matisse / Renoir / Lucienne / Mendocino APUs.

Well, I am sure that the interest for doing so are there, and I am probably not the only person who has an idle framework motherboard (soon to be 2 once the AMD Phoenix one shows up) laying around. So, repurposing the framework board like a NUC/Not-so-TMM - good idea, or bad idea? Generally...

Well, the Tomcat was recently replaced by a MiG-23MLD Flogger-J (also a swing-wing design) as my server guard, but that's due to me taking the cat down so it can be reworked/redesigned. That Flogger will get a reworking later since it's a bit too long to be correct to 1:35 minifig scale...

Yeah, and that even extends down to Wyse (or the business unit formerly known as Wyse). Before the Dell takeover they were pretty big on the AMD embedded APUs for their thin clients (even though it's the old Kabini based stuff). Once the 5070 came out they completely dropped them as a vendor.

The m70q gen 3 uses the full T series Alder lakes and would be much more powerful. The Neo 50q gen 4 runs off a 15w TDP chip (it's burstable to 55w which meant it still needs a system fan), but it'll throttle down thanks to the fact that it's Alder Lake, but maybe the extra thermal headroom helps?

They are. Well, that's not the only thing broken about HP (their marketing/support site leaks info like a bad sieve), but I digress. HP seems to have an issue providing support for your hardware unless you are the first-line customer OR if your vendor actually did a warranty handover (which is...

Oh yeah, good old AvE's sticker pack is worth a chuckle or 2 when applied to the inside of my server room, heh. That and the MITRE ATT&CK stickers next to my incident response dumpster braizer.

Oh yeah, for future reference - the TinyMiniMicro box most similar to this will be the Lenovo ThinkCentre Neo 50q thin client. You'll probably not see it on the secondary markets yet (it's a current gen model), but if you like a small nifty box with 2 DDR4 SODIMM slots, this sort of firepower...

Well, they did have a limited time pricing thing to incentivize early movers, and you gloious bastards ransacked that stockpile quick. Last week it was a 70% off pricing - now it's merely 50. At 70% off it’s moderately compelling to the point of me risking an argument with the missus to take...

Well, it's back in stock for 275 -> reServer - Compact Edge Server powered by 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i3 1125G4 (not planning to buy one any time soon - I already have a Tiger Lake i5-1135G7 and an Alder Lake i5-1240P board from framework that I’ll need to repurpose. The missus frowns upon the...

Interesting little box - the i5-1125G4 is somewhere between the V1756B on my t740, and the Ryzen 3 Pro 4450U on my mt46 mobile thin client - it looks like dual DDR4 SODIMMs good for 64GB, it has dual i225s so it’s at least a proven Intel NIC (kinda wish they were i350s though). Was about to pull...
