Surface Pro 4
256GB, 8GB RAM, Intel Core i5
Grey Keyboard Cover
Purchased April 17, 2016. Great little machine for everyday computing tasks and could even handle some very light (2vcpu, 4GB RAM) VMs but I found the lack of ports made it impractical to replace my W540 when I traveled as I would...
Yeah, so after more years as a subscriber than I can remember, I finally cancelled my Netflix membership (a few minutes ago).
I leased a small office starting in January. Internet service is provided by the building ... They're using the Class B RFC 1918 set of addresses as a flat network with...

Just picked up a couple of 200GB to use as ZIL for $199 ea, then saw these floating around out there. This is the lowest I have seen them for a while.
Enjoy!
I have a U3011 purchased in 2011. Today I learned from Dell Support that they do not service UltraSharp monitors which are out of warranty. This was a disappointment, considering I have three UltraSharp monitors recently out of warranty, and what I paid for the damn things.

Seems like a good deal for those of us wishing to experiment with IB. I recently purchased a SilverStorm switch to put in between my Infiniband "triangle" and would like to add a few more hosts ... offered $25 ea for...
Not necessarily a "great" deal, but seems like it might be a good one. I was looking for a pair of smallish S3700's to setup as mirrored ZIL on a ZFS build ... Didn't have luck with ebay - 100GB S3700s are trending around $200. I've never ordered from this site, so who knows ... but at ~$150...
Background
I work as an Information Security Architect and am putting together a lab to hone exploit development, pen-testing, and other security skills. As a secondary goal, I will be working toward obtaining VMware credentials. I Took ICM back in 2012 but found it useless except for...
