Once you go network laser, you'll never go back to anything else. :D

Yep, as long as your router is fairly new, it should support the brother as the brother has support under cups under linux. :) Definitely post back because I'm curious how it turns out as I have a laser brother that's usb only that I've not figured out what I want to do with.

Do these start to curl up at the ends like some others do?

Yep, the guy who posted this on the other site was actually going back to return an intel kit that was far slower than this and picked up this cpu and and open box mb and some ram for a far faster rig than he was originally planning to build. :) Great value right now between this and the 6750...

Between this and the 7900x3d deal out there, it's a good time to build something with a lot of bang for the buck. :)

$216 is even hotter at Microcenter. :D From another forum: "Pick from a selection of motherboards and ram (you don't have to use the default bundle they offer), then add the 7800x3d to cart and the 7800x3d drops to $216 in price as part of the bundle deal, you will see the prices in cart as...

Awesome and highly underrated movie!

ime it's just the usual 24 or 20 pin motherboard with the +4 for the cpu or not. Typically only one or two molex or sata for those devices and one floppy type connector. Really basic units with all industry standard stuff so if someone has a spare atx lying around (or not as you can just...

They're either flex atx or itx. A standard power supply outside the case works too--that's how I confirmed the one in my gateway was bad.

Pictured! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

That would be great! I see 80ms to go from CA to AL. :ROFLMAO: Honestly the latency doesn't matter until it gets to over 90--then I've got some minor issues.

That's what she said...:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: 13.4" to be exact--definitely going to have to check for clearance for one of these: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/xfx-speedster-swft319-rx-6900-xt-core.b9234

When I needed one of these to fix an old gateway sx2803, I actually found someone that was selling a combo on ebay with one for cheaper than the shady sellers with 'new' power supplies. It's still working today, and in fact I'm posting with it. :) Hope this helps!

True, but how much extra you think it would be? If cloud computing vendors can do it, why not a datacenter? Even if you have to build it out I would think the roi would be there.

Oh yeah, and I would need to find a sunny and cold part of Canada, lol. I still don't know why Canada isn't the data center capital of N. America--so much free cooling!

It depends on the isp. Wow links to theirs, but here's instructions to get it straight from the FCC: https://www.fcc.gov/consumer-governmental-affairs/internet-service-provider-disclosures/how-find-your-isps-disclosure

That's one heck of a homelab setup. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Honestly, I would take this and put it in Northern Canada where cooling is cheap, and then build out a solar array grid to power it. If the solar grid and the auction is cheap enough, may be the biggest bang for buck ever...

In general, my experience is that stuff designed for w2k, xp, and was stretching to work with win7 will be even a bigger stretch for win10. Especially since printers have also evolved quite a bit too. My solution to something like this if I wasn't replacing the printer with a network one would...

Good to know. I've got 2x accounts with them and they generally seem less 'gamey' so it's good to know that they have integrity in this area.

Budget?

LOL! Good thing stuff like this depreciates hard or that would have been the case already. I didn't even look at it as I stole it from another place. :D

Stolen from another site :D (as usual :ROFLMAO:) People have gotten 2x for $175 when making offers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/126440159807 Features one HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2, usb-c with DP and 90W PD. Also have KVM functions, Also work with ThinkColor Software1 Seller had a batch of 50 and sold...

This is a very good point! Most consumer routers have a print server feature built-in. Better to try to use that as it will be newer and is already connected to the network.

I thought about recommending this same idea, but once this problem is solved, there's the driver issue with the print server--there's none for newer windows it seems.

Seems like some sort of ball is rolling...

What model access points are on your network? I just read over the Netgear WGPS606 manual and I think this may just be too old since it was made to work during win2k and xp days. It will need to connect to older 2.4Ghz network, will require drivers on the PCs that probably won't work, and may...

One of the main reasons my old stuff still keeps me amused. :) Plus it's all documented somewhere depending on how old it is, so you just search and implement. :)

These thing can run forever even in that state. :) I've got several HPs with swollen caps and they still keep working. :)

Saw that the online billing portal now has a Broadband 'sticker' that tells the 'nutritional values' and I downloaded the latest network practices filing with the FCC and sure enough, MF are still lying. And this time I filed a 'informal complaint' with the FCC. Let's see what happens... Just...

Those were some of the best CF cards made. They had a lifetime warranty on their highest end line too.

True, but sometimes there was a card limit and sometimes a partition limit. And then sometimes there was just weird stuff like on my Panasonic DMC-FZ20--a 2GB SD Card would work fine, but the first bit of the first few bits of the first file was corrupted in I think RAW or some other non-jpeg...

PQI is still around too, just that they do more oem stuff like Apacer does. (y)

Legit card. I've seen these before. On a side note, crazy how the prices on these have shot up over time. I remember when I would pick these up in the b&h used department for less than this. Unless my memory is failing me again...:(

It really depends on if it is a partition or drive size limit that kicks in. After all, these are basically IDE SSDs so you can think of it in the same way as a hard drive size limit by the bios or by the OS.

Personally, I like used watchguard units. They're ridiculously cheap for what they can do, even if their firmware can't be updated.

Profit! Well, imo it is. :D

The ROI calculation I use for a situation like this is time. If you're literally going to save half of your time with 2.5Gb vs 1Gb speeds, then it's just a matter of how much time and the dollar/other value of that time with that time applied elsewhere. For example, if an upgrade will save...

Yep, if it's not maxed out constantly shouldn't be a problem. That's the game that hasn't been played in switches for a long time though, a long time...

It can do quite a number of things but the constraint is always the ram and the processor as it's not a full blown computer. But for small things like what you're using it for already, it's great. It can also be used as an NVR depending on how many cameras and licensing. And you can always...

Well, in the review, STH found that it wouldn't even hit 40Gb max aggregate throughput, so this particular switch is limited if you expect (20+20+16*2.5) 80Gb switching capability. So in reality it's good for half of what it should be able to do at half the price, lol. The chinese games are...
