    Brocade ICX7250-48P ($105/ea OBO + Reasonable Shipping)

    For those of you who have reported dead PoE ports, does the UI report them not working or did you actually plug each one into a device to figure out whether it worked or not?

    Brocade ICX7250-48P ($105/ea OBO + Reasonable Shipping)

    Mine arrived and is in excellent condition. It was really well wrapped as well, so @frameshift18, you seem to have drawn the short straw on packaging. For anyone wondering about power, mine idles at ~55W once the fans spin down from jet mode on the initial spin up. I also just purchased...

    Brocade ICX7250-48P ($105/ea OBO + Reasonable Shipping)

    Jumped on one (that I really don’t need but couldn’t resist) as well. Thanks for the tip. :)

    Seagate Exos X22 20TB Manufacturer refurbished for $209 ($196 on ebay)

    Thanks for posting the deal. I needed a big parity drive for my new unraid server and this fits the bill nicely.

    $70 Dual LAN Mini PC w/ i3-1115G4, 8GB, internal PSU

    Awesome tip @dan81 , I'm certain I've got a few of those around. I'll probably drop one in mine as well. My system is operating under very low load so I can't imagine the reduced fan speed will matter much.

    Help with cabling for Asus Pike 2008 card

    Thank you for finding that cable! I knew it must be out there but my search skills were failing me. re: the disk configuration... yeah, this is an Unraid box and performance is a very low concern. I already had this MoBo from an abandoned past build and it works quite well for this with its...

    Help with cabling for Asus Pike 2008 card

    Hi all - I have an Asus Z9PR-D12 motherboard and just ordered the PIKE RAID card. I've seen them mentioned a few times on this board, but for reference, they're an add-on PCI card that goes in a special slot on this motherboard which then enables 8 SAS ports on the motherboard to be connected...

    $70 Dual LAN Mini PC w/ i3-1115G4, 8GB, internal PSU

    FYI, mine arrived today. Same specs as in the earlier post so the rest are probably going to be the same. The fan is a bit louder than I'd prefer, but definitely not a deal breaker as it's not going into my living room.

    $70 Dual LAN Mini PC w/ i3-1115G4, 8GB, internal PSU

    Mine is on the way as of today. Did you have to do anything to get Linux installed on your device @semidetached or did you just use a USB stick and it worked as normal?

    $70 Dual LAN Mini PC w/ i3-1115G4, 8GB, internal PSU

    Thanks for sharing! Just picked up one for myself. I've been looking to move Plex to a dedicated transcoding box (none of my existing servers support QuickSync) and this looks like it'll fit the bill nicely (unless I get extremely unlucky and get one of the AMD models), but based on the fact...

    WD SN630 U.2 NVME SSDs

    Definitely tempting prices. I was quite surprised to find an even better deal when I went to look to see what these normally sell for. NewEgg - $289 new, same 5 year warranty

    GPU price has dropped precipitously in last few months

    This has been a crazy ride with GPU prices the last couple of years. Around 12 months ago, I got lucky and found an all in-one tower with a top of the line Intel desktop CPU and a 3080 GPU included for $2k. I bought it, removed the GPU, sold it for $2,200 and put in an older GPU into the tower...

    Help buying rtx 3080

    Do you have to actually be in a Best Buy or you're watching the site for them to drop? Are any of them actually inventoried in stores or all online?

    LSI / Avago CacheCade incredibly slow?

    For only a single 1TB HDD, wouldn’t it be cheaper just to buy a 1TB SSD and move everything to it?

    ASUS Xeon E5 V1/V2 Dual CPU - low cost motherboard.

    I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago for $60. For the price range it’s a great deal. The heat sinks are throwaways though. Passive cooling wasn’t enough even with a very cool ambient temp.
