    Aeon Pool Hashrate

    List of all AEON pools Looks like AEON Pool (com) is commanding 45% of the hash, if they hit 50% they will control the blockchain and the possibility of double spends. This can't be good for Aeon. Thoughts?

    Too Cool not to share

    Too cool to not share I didn't even know these things existed. For the longest time I was thinking about designing and building my own but for this price there's no way I could come up with something looking this good. This is the Zalman VE-200 (or VE-200SE for silver) Zalman VE 200SE...

    Intel SR1680MV Dual Node / 1U system - $240

    Dual Node 1U system. Like the C6100 except in 1U form. No CPU/RAM but great alternative if limited to 1U of space.

    HP SAS drives on Non-RAID HBA

    Does anyone know if HP still uses custom firmware on their drives that prevent it from working on Non-HP backplanes? I remember back in SCSI days those drives were locked. I want to order whole bunch of HP 300GB 15K SAS drives from eBay. They're certainly priced right but I don't want to find...
