    Can 1600W Rosewill PSU handle 6 x r9 290 cards?

    Even if you could 'idle/work' at 1600w, a start up surge, power dip, anything like that could easily exceed 1600w. And 1600w @100v = 16amps. Can the mains circuit take that? Nowadays many house circuit breakers are 15amp.

    Is this waterblock leaking?

    Certainly looks like a possible leak. Put some color in the fluid, attach a white tissue near the area(s) in question and run for a few days. If it is leaking and the tissue stains - you're on to it. Random thought: Maybe track your start/stop cycles - thermal differences. Maybe thermal...

    Digital Delivery Allows Companies To Ship Broken Products Without Refunds Or Returns

    I think the articles point of additional protection from deliberately releasing faulty product is valid. In simplest of terms, it is deceptive practice, releasing a known flawed product. No different than buying a used car that wont pass an emissions//safety check. In reality, how do you draw...

    Cat 5e over 100ft

    What about interference? Maybe it's run past a fluorescent light/transformer or some such noisy device? Have you tried the cables strung through the house/shop? I am to understand that coiled up (like two PC's side-by-side) can incur problems from induction (more so with cheap cables)...

    Freenas 8 build advice

    You are aware that Freenas 8 supports ZFS which is looking more appealing than Raid 5, right? Hardware wise, this sounds sufficient for a starting point. How far are you looking to grow this? What is the purpose of this? File server or other? I've got an old Athlon with 4gb, dual gigabit...

    How many here keep spare ram?

    Can't speak for DDR4, but seems like I end up buying more ram because of incompatability. Ram is cheap, but I'd rather invest in beer.

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    A round of Beers for Gea and OINappIt. Very nice stuff. Now for a noob question. nappIt docs, section 10.2, is this to be performd ONLY when the OS creates a new boot environment, or as part of the initial setup? What harm comes if I re-run the installer instead of all the patching?

    SSD for ZIL

    Interesting details you provided. I realize SLC is favorable to MLC, which is why I listed the Intel. I hope to team dual Gigabit NICs. Therefore, your math says about1gb/sec. So Raid0 2-SSD's to keep up??? OCZ SLD3-25SAT3-60G?? Fast enough??

    SSD for ZIL

    Is there any guideline for how large a SSD to purchase for ZIL? I intend to use 6-2tb drives. Someday, maybe grow that to 12-4tb's? (right after I win the lottery....) Intel 311 20gb big enough?
