    Only 0.3% of Files on BitTorrent Confirmed to Be Legal

    I probably mainly use bittorrent for "illegal" things. Some of it is to download the digital form of something I do indeed own and am too lazy to find and rip to the computer. And torrenting is the fastest way for me to download my linux ISOs, so that's what I use.

    The Mineral Oil PC

    Great project man. This is really the perfect thread for everyone that has seen an oil computer to read. The issues you've had, and the money that needed to be spent to build the thing in the first place, and then to fix the issues, and then the risks involved really put things into perspective...

    How important is ECC ram for a home file server?

    Nah, just stay with your current board.

    How important is ECC ram for a home file server?

    Who designed the heat sink push pin mechanism on the core 2 dous?

    Cooling a closet server with no AC vent

    Well its certainly not BS that computers need cooling but they don't really need an air conditioner just for them. Servers make about the same amount of heat as a regular desktop PC (unless they are high end multiprocessor, redundant PSU, lots of hard drives, etc) and should be fine running up...
