Hi Guys, So my initial attempts at using 4K TVs as a computer monitor have not been great. My first was a $289 Samsung un40KU6290 from the Black Friday sale at costco. That display had a really nice picture with great contrast. The biggest downside was the poor pixel response times leaving...

Hi Guys, Possibly against my better judgment I just ordered an Avera 40EQX10 40" 4K TV to replace my defunct Samsung 40KU6290. Fry's is having a sale right now where you can get it for $199.99 in store, but I was able to use google express with 15% off first order coupon for a total price of...

Hi Guys, I just released part 2 of our investigation into ceph through using a variety of different disk controllers. This time we are looking at throughput with journals on the disks instead of using SSDs for the journal devices. Hope this is interesting for you guys...

Hi Guys, Just wanted to pass along an article I wrote that looks at how different disk controllers perform in a couple of different configurations with Ceph. The benchmark is just sending objects directly to the OSDs, so these tests are a bit lower level than something like FIO. I've got a...

Hi guys, I built a A64 system about 8 months ago and used a NeoPower 480w powersupply based on many good reviews. Earlier today I was surfing the web and the main cap(s) in the powersupply blew. Scorch marks along the heatsink and electrolyte sprayed all over the inside of the supply...

Hi guys, zipzoomfly is carrying Patriot PDC2G3200ELK memory labelled as "Eased Latency" which they claim is 2-3-3-6. Do you guys think this is any different than the normal PDC2G3200ELK which is rated at 3-3-3-7? I'm wondering if they just test it out at 2-3-3-6 and if it works sell it as...

Heya guys, for those of you with a q-pack, would you mind doing me a favor? I'm trying to figure out whether or not I can fit a sunbeamtech nuuo power supply in a qpack. It's 158mm long, which is just shy of the modstream, but significantly longer than the 140mm standard depth. What I'd...

Heya guys, I'm trying to decide between the 550w sunbeamtech nuuo vs. a 400w liberty to go into an x-qpack small form factor system. This system probably won't push either powersupply very hard (singlecore A64 and 7800gtx). I got burned buying a coolmax powersupply based on some...
