Anybody want to take a guess at how well a 6700K/Z170 would stack up to an old X5680/X58 combo?

#3, I still haven't worked up the balls to do this haha. :rolleyes:

This is some legit network pr0n, good to see something other than home setups :cool:

Needs more flash.

No point, they're in there temporarily for pre-configuration and a POC--all the ears were left in the boxes.

Some Foundry porn: Yes, those are 10GBase-ER optics :eek:

Why not both? :D

To be honest, it's not even set up yet. This is an eval system (one X-Brick) that we've got to kick around for a while. We're going to move some high IOPS workloads over to it from a VNX 5400 and see if it makes a measurable improvement. This isn't the first one we've set up though, they...

Warning: Storage porn incoming EMC VNX 5200 and XtremeIO in the UCS lab, front-ended by a VPLEX metro in the next rack over.

That was the secondary reason why I haven't gotten around it it yet, I don't trust my soldering skills enough to make that 45 degree jump between pads.

I haven't set them up yet, I'll get around to it on a rainy day probably, but we don't have any Juniper gear in house for lab use. I've used the pulse client before and had no complaints.

They've all got their quirks I suppose. I don't want to say the ASAs are without fault, but I'm certainly more comfortable with that platform over the others. We use the Fortigates for some of our internal infrastructure and they seem to do a pretty good job, but the remote access VPN...

I work for a VAR now, gotta be smart on all the gear we're slinging :)

And some cabling pr0n: This is a rack from a previous employer, mostly user ports and patch panels to other racks on the row. Time, neglect and sloppiness are how it arrived at this state. I gutted the entire rack, replaced some switches and installed shorter cables (2ft vs 7-10ft) and some...

It's been a while since I've posted in here, but I thought I'd share a few pics of my "permanent" lab rack at work. I rotate other gear in and out as needed, but this stuff stays put: Top to bottom: Aruba S3500-24P PoE Switch Cisco 2950-24 Switch (Management Net) Aruba 3200 Controller Aruba...

Hey, I've been trying to track this mod down for quite some time after my board was RMA'd and returned with an earlier rev piece of hardware. This is the doc that EVGA provided for the 758-A1 board on how to do the mod. I haven't done it myself as I haven't had the time, but as I interpret...

I'm looking for an X58 board that supports the 5600-series Xeons and Crossfire. I'm not sure if my board will ever make it back from RMA hell, so I'm looking for other options--I'm not hung up on specific models or brands.

Board still available?

I'm looking for an X58 board, what else do you have?

Still have the board? I just blew up my 758 and need a replacement ASAP.

Ahh you're correct, I meant 5:4--I'll edit the original post. The problem with size is that I have to mount these to vertical motorized arms that can disappear into a desk which limits the overall width of the display. Well a laptop LCD won't work, I'm limited on the width of the display...

Anything over a network connection is not an option, so team viewer is out. You actually can scale down. The source I'm working with is natively 1920x1200, and it's already being scaled down to 1920x1080 for wider distribution. My problem is these few monitors can't display that, and...

I've got an ongoing project at work that has some unique requirements for a few displays, and I'm having a hell of a time finding some displays that will work. The requirements listed below are non-negotiable and yes, I know they suck. 17" Diag Size 5:4 Aspect Ratio 1x DVI-I or DVI-D input 1x...

If it falls through, please PM me. Thanks

Recently re-racked some lab gear... Enjoy :cool: Equipment, from top to Bottom: Black Box voice patch panel, connects to the 25 pair port on the EVM module below Cisco 2851 w/ 2x HWIC-D-9ESW-POE, NME-XD-48ES-2S-P, EVM-HD-8FXS/DID, AIM-CUE & AIM-VPN (voice lab router of doom) Cisco 2811 w/...

ASR 1002

I have one of my baby 3560's mounted on those...I kinda wished the logo was on the front side of the ears though

Folks who are underwater in large amounts of debt or in collections are considered to have a high susceptibility to taking bribes, it has nothing to do with honesty.

Yep, and feeding it power is the fun part...

Probably shouldn't get into specifics in order to protect my customer's interests, but the cases are because it's designed to be a portable solution and you have to protect it during transport. ;) That server case is a 325lb+ problem. :eek:

HW cost doesn't hold a candle to the cost of the SW on those blades :)

Heh ok, it's an HP c3000 8-slot chassis. 7x BL460c, 1x SB40c

Can't tell if trolling or serious

Truly [H]ard would include bringing the 2nd case sitting on that pallet :D

I always use a fully-tunneled VPN (if not more) while on the road. On a side note, I was hoping that none of you would take seriously the notion of carting that case around while travelling... :o

I don't like hotel internet connections :)

^Totally useless, the wheels are on the case lid, but there are no handles on the lids to drag them by lol. I believe final weight on that case was just shy of 200lbs :x

I nearly lost a thumb to one of those a few years ago when a coworker and myself were removing one from a 2 post rack. I was holding the rear of the ups with one hand, while he held the front and removed the rack screws when dipshit decides that it's a good idea to hold a UPS by the plastic...

Just thought I'd throw this out here... I heard that often too. It was a neat box, but tons of stuff just didn't work as described/documented. We actually ended up running a few different custom code revisions just to make some features work :rolleyes:

WHO IS YOUR DADDY AND WHAT DOES HE DO?
