I live in Maryland, Odenton/Gambrils/Bowie area and want local in person pickup only. Paypal Need the Corsair 900D case so I am getting rid of my Hyper-V host. This was my daily/gaming rig for many years but has not seen much use since 2015. Than it became my lab host for MCSA exams. Need to...

It's cool but the process seems inefficient with all the 'local lapping'... Couldn't he start with some device to apply even pressure across the whole chip?

I run Debian and Pi-Hole on Hyper-V. Runs great. The Distros should have Hyper-V services built in to the kernel. I have attempted to install the integration services once for FreeBSD couldn't get very far though.

yea that sounds right. Did it perform as advertised? We never bought it. Eventually just upgraded to a slotted Athlon that could run Grim Fandango.

I spent most of my time exiting to DOS from 3.1... hours spent trying to get my 486 to run wing commander 3, it was the cd rom needed 2x i had 1x... sigh Anyone recall the drop in upgrade for 486 machines.. i feel like it was CPU replacement of some kind. Maybe around the time the PII came...

I went through their other videos, most of the stuff seems aimed at handling dangerous chemicals and other substances not safe for humans.

The butterflies are kinda cool..

PM me if you got something, In Maryland if someone wants to deal tonight.

nice find

First of all can we confirm if this guy is getting kickbacks from a company heavily vested in spinning rust. My money's on dell/emc "sponsoring his research" Some things to chew on: What are the rebuild times on SSD arrays like? In a 1U server you can have 10 DAS SSD; samsung has a 16TB drive...

Demote your current hardware to an iscsi storage host and give them each a 10 GB nic 2 10gb intel x540-t2 nics 400x2 =$800 ebay gulftown 6 core server x2 = $800 2 10gb intel x540-t2 nics 400x2 =$800 you have $2600 left for storage samsung evo 500gb x17 get rid of parity. run raid 10 or...

Dell AppAssure is pretty good, will do backup over WAN to another AppAssure Core, or ship an archive of restore points to Amazon,Azure, and other cloud providers. Not cheap though. Built in backup tools might be your best bet. While not strictly backup per se; Hyper-V replication could also be a...

If you have a good UPS and it is properly configured to shutdown guest VMs; on disk battery protection should not be necessary. you probably have a raid controller battery too. 500GB ssd's seems to be the sweet spot; i calculated the price per gb for samsung at 0.29 for the 500 GB, 1 tb went...

for hardware: have you already bought the components you listed? I love the x58 intel chips, they make awesome virtual hosts. Love supermicro not aware of memory issues you mention. you do not need xenon and ecc ram, especialy if you are doing a single socket motherboard. I would try to...

Also hyper-v has storage spaces/disk pooling (software raid). You don't need a hardware raid controller and you can avoid going into bios to reconfigure your raid arrays.

Would strongly sugest Hyper-V. That said what are your goals of this lab? Are you employed in IT? What does your work use for virtualization? Vmware cerification can be quit costly compared to MS offerings. Hyper-V is free, windows server with the hyper-v role is not. Initial config of...

Monitors seem like the next logical product to tackle. However, what about software? Seems like the corsair link is a bit half- baked. I would love some better monitoring of low level components and voltages etc. The asus mobo tools always seem to lag and crash.

done ty all.

Have you thought about Azure? Its fairly simple to get rolling and monthly costs are reasonable for what you want to do. You don't pay for data in. Dell AppAsure might also be something to look into. You can can have onsite software, an appliance, or just the offsite core. The appliance...

@2:05 "steve wouldnt have done that" I disagree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya2xifdO_l0

Validate cluster wizard

Follow me on this, my 'plans' probably have a few holes in them. I will not need 10 TB of writes per day. I am planing for smaller daily writes as per the Dell DPACK IO test. SQL 2012 has some better "in memory" transact features. Ergo less unnecessary writes to the SSD. (hole 1?) On...

oooooo a glimer of hope! Thank you kind sir!

Care to elaborate, I am not familiar with that particular euthanism. I will gladly hear any thoughts on Dynamics. All ERP's are crap I suppose, it should be a step up from 80's mainframe we are using. Also I think a lot of it has to do with the developer you go with, dynamics is the...

Today I learned Server 2012 failover clustering does not work with SATA drives... sigh back to the drawing board.

I am not sure if the old thought process of r/w on a ssd is accurate anymore. Certainly they have a limited number of writes but the onboard controllers have gotten better. Thanks for the input, I will try to update this thread with what happens.

Looks good. make sure you check on disclosures. I think all schools have to have them, but some may try to hide them. https://www.scitech.edu/legal/disclosures

Oh shit, sorry I completely forgot about the requirements. I dont think you have to have all of that, or even any of it. I think they are more concerned about how successful you will be in a self study environment. No one makes you go to class, there is no sort of mid term report cards. Its...

No, WGU is only online. Yes you only get an associates at community college. However that associates can get you an entry level job while you finish a Bachelor program. When you do your resume you don't have to mention going to community only the 4 year degree. There is nothing that says you...

a qucik google search found this http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54779463-78/neumont-students-nickles-collegetimes.html.csp Avoid for profit schools. If you really want to move to SLC, look at BYU or U of Utah...

I really wish the 840 Pros came in bigger sizes. I have a feeling there are some new Samsung SSD's on the horizon. What does your failure rate with SSD's look like? I only know of one that has failed and it was one I bought for a friend, so I do not know how it was treated.

For most of their technical classes your final is the actual certification. You goto a test center take the test and if you pass you pass the class. The other classes English, Math, you turn in assignments like you would at a regular college. As for 'live equipment', all Cisco stuff can be...

You don't need 2 of them... I just bought 1. :D I justified it by saying I will put the 'old' 500 in Moms computer. Her old WD HDD are a bit old/.

Do you have a link that says so? I thought they were EOL also but it is actually an add in module for an ASA 5505 that I saw was going EOL.

did you see this at the bottom. " Chassis is only sold as complete system only - SSG-6047R-E1R72L " that said I don't think these are as similar as they appear. you will need twice the depth for two drives. the backplane connectors have to be different, even if they are just stacked on top of...

This may belong elsewhere but the main topic is storage for enterprise servers. So we are adding new servers at work for SQL and Microsoft Dynamics. The quotes for storage I have received from Dell, IBM, HP, and Lenovo are just silly. $1k for 960 GB SAS HDD $500 for 120 GB SSD ( I think...

Turndown OC to stock. Reinstall then turn on OC. Other things to check. BIOS UPDATES DRIVE FIRMWARE LOADING INTEL/MOBO DRIVERS DURING INSTALL

I have an 840 EVO, and have been contemplating turning it off. I have experienced weird hangs in chrome and some other issues. Could be the age of my system, overclock, or other software; can't really say for sure.

have you looked at Western Governors University. It is also in SLC but, online. & WAAAAAAY cheaper. If you can live with your parents and hit the books really hard and not work you can finish ultra fast. 2 years for a 4 year degree. If you take 12 hours or 30 hours the price is the same...

Also check what version of ASA and ASDM it is running. You will need an active smartnet license to download updates. I may be able to help you out, the upgrade path is not very clear. Certain version of ASDM only work with certain version of ASA. Make sure you have a console cable and usb...
