    Seagate Exos X16 14 TB SATA (Manufacturer Recertified) - 130$

    I built a ZFS server using Seagate drives from this vendor, ServerPartDeals. I had a high DOA rate on the first shipment -- but they immediately cross-shipped replacement drives. I paid for shipping the defective units. A bit of a hassle, but these were recertified units at low price. i would...

    Deals on soundproof rack enclosures for home setting?

    You are talking about the Pelican Hardigg cases? I know audio road crew has to work fast with heavy stuff, but how often do things get dropped from two meters up? (never mind; if you have to ask the question, the answer is "often enough") :-)

    Deals on soundproof rack enclosures for home setting?

    @brmiller The tip regarding audio studio racks is a good one, thanks! We do some audio stuff so I was indeed considering that as an option. As we are in a remote rural location, racks don't come up very often, but always worth looking. I would totally go get this eBay thing if I were not 2000...

    Fantastic VESA mount arms

    I have not; it looks like a good mount comparable to the Innovative Tech 7500. I tried a used Ergotron MX with my iMac 27 2010 and a VESA mount adapter for the iMac. Many reviewers on Amazon seemed very happy with that setup. But despite hours spent adjusting and reinforcing my steel desk...

    Gigabyte C232 Motherboard for $62

    Actually, I decided to wait on the CPU and DRAM purchase. So I don't know. But I don't think flashing the board would be necessary. My current plan is to try this with a Kaby Lake Pentium G4600. I am also going to try Kingston KVR21E15D8/16 for the ECC DRAM. This part is not listed on...
