Cheaper than the EPDM that EK sells, I use it for tight radius spots. https://www.mcmaster.com/tubing/uv-resistant-soft-plastic-and-rubber-tubing-for-air-and-water/

I was nodding along with you, but then I got to thinking: we're talking about the sort of people that get all frothy about $8 a day ROI for maybe just next week, or maybe the next few months, who knows. One thing is certain though they aren't going to just throw out something with some...

Yeah its gonna be a tough sell now that they're available new at $300

Judging from the picture it isn't the standard female connector used for fans/pumps. The standard ones look like this: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/538-47054-1000

Minicomputers? MMMM, Data General Nova: I ripped off their color scheme for my home lab's rack. More fun than the not-quite-black gray of modern computers, or the plain beige of the 90's.

I was actually just wondering if we’d start seeing keyboard building threads here on [H] . Personally I don’t think it has to be the massive money pit some of the keyboard fanatics let it become. -Picking the exact layout and switches you want: cool. -Having a board with custom firmware and...

Couple of things: 10K NTC thermistors have a resistance that changes based on temp. The "10K" is the sensor's resistance in ohms at 77F. Your Aquasuite thermometer/indicator/controller is really reading the resistance of the themistor and translating it to temp based on some resistance curve...

Me too. I've gotten CPUs I couldn't have afforded new for pennies on the dollar used. They've all been LGA CPUs, but I've bought mobos no problem too. Pick a seller with a good rep, who posted a reasonable number of pictures, and who lives on the same continent as you, and I think your odds are...

That looks like a good choice. I can't see the benefit of the X470 or X570 chipsets on ITX since there's no physical room to take advantage of the extra PCI-E lanes. B450 or B550 seems like the way to go.

This is the cheapest route for new I've seen: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/amd-epyc-rome-cpu-via-hpe-upgrade-very-cheap.26877/

Why settle? You could get a small real life cooling tower on ebay right now for $2k. ;) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cooling-Tower-Model-T-23-3-Nominal-Tons-based-on-95-85-75-9-GPM/291609800732?hash=item43e54c701c:g:c8kAAOSwx2dYJMYF

Are the AM4 pins too fine to straighten with the tip of a mechanical pencil slipped over them? I think I did that with an AM3 chip I bent some pins on.

OP you might read this and think: but the water in the loop is hotter because of the other component; however the water is much cooler than either component (if your doing it right) so heat is still transferring which is all we care about. Think of this hypothetical: you have 2 rads than can...

I've got a mildly "gamerfied" Corsair K70 that I like alright; but I'd like to try Leopold down the road. Leopold brand @ https://mechanicalkeyboards.com I think they look pretty traditional unless you pick a model with brightly colored keycaps. Full sized models seem to start at $124.

No it's not going to route at wire speed. I suspect it should perform pretty well at switching within vlans; but I bet it takes a significant hit if you ask anything CPU intensive of it. Serve the Home did a review last fall...

And I like Synergy because it's cross-platform, and in the Ubuntu repos; but the latest versions for windows are paid software. I occasionally think about paying and updating. If all the machines are Windows there is always Mouse Without Borders...

My order of two of the $22 ones just shipped, looks like their current cheapest start at $78 now. I deliberately picked the 4th and 5th listings after I saw your post and didn't call ahead so I'm pretty surprised your order wasn't honored. As far as the shipping goes, I nearly balked too. Then...

You could always use a server chassis, but they tend to not be that pretty; also most chassis under 3U tall only hold low profile cards, and to fit a big modern video card you'd probably need 4U for clearance of the aux power connector.

I'd go a different direction on the rack itself, that looks like its upright rails are the threaded hole type more common for A/V or telecom than IT gear. It's also a pretty shallow depth which could be limiting in the future if it isn't a problem now. The square holes aren't an absolute...

Why not have a separate power supply just for the pump? Meanwell makes good switching power supplies, and a 50W 120v AC to 12V (or 24V) DC model would be $15 or less. You'd just need something like a power entry module for a second power cord.

As far as shelving goes I like Rubbermaid adjustable shelving. The twin track rails and brackets can hold quite a bit of weight when mounted in studs or with good anchors and are fairly unobtrusive in my opinion. Can be used with wire or wood shelves...

I think the big use for PCIe 4 and up short term will be in enterprise for high speed networking and storage. I doubt it will make a perceptible difference for average consumers for a while.

I mostly buy used stuff off ebay; but buying new I've shopped at: www.cdw.com/ https://www.provantage.com/ http://shopblt.com/ https://www.superbiiz.com/ that and Newegg and Amazon of course. I've gotten some cheap used/returned server ram through Amazon Warehouse deals.

I know that a lot of users of the servethehome forums also frequent [H]; but you might have better luck finding an interested buyer over there for something sort of niche and server-y.

With most link aggregation any one connection is limited to the speed of a single NIC. As a result it's mostly useful for a server that multiple other machines will be connecting to simultaneously. Now there are a few situations where you can get around that like ISCSI multipathing (the NICs...

I'd have probably just pulled that PSU out until I got the front panel connectors plugged in, but then again my only tweezers suck. ;)

What are you trying to do? By programmable do you mean 5/7 day and occupied/unoccupied? If you just want a dumb temperature switch there are lots of options. There are mechanical stats that require no power themselves and just open or close a circuit for example. Or you could get a line...

Would be hard to do cleanly with a sawzall. Jigsaw would be the best option with affordable everyday tools. Kinda angle the blade in at the corner as you start; so it isn't trying to saw through inches of steel at once along the side. Work slow and put the rip guide on the side you want to keep...

PM'ed an offer if you haven't sold yet.

I've had onboard some Realtek NICs shit the bed under prolonged heavy load, in my case VMs on some network storage: iSCSI or maybe an NFS share. Under less stressful conditions I'm sure onboard is fine. Unless you see stuff acting wonky I'd hold off. You could try benching with Iperf and stress...

Or alternatively to cutting open the end of the slot on the mobo, you could notch or cut down the card. Either mod is a little risky I've cut the edge connectors on few cards successfully; but you might might want to pick the cheaper part to mutilate for the cause. Note: like kirby said you'll...

Why not just run two at the same time? I've run prime (using enough workers to load all my cores) and furmark simultaneously when trying to figure out my max power draw.

Not just water wells. What we sort of imitating in these little water cooling loops: hydronic systems, always use expansion tanks (air) to buffer the pressure changes in boiler or chiller loops.

It might not be that bad running conduit or smurf tube if it's a single story house, you really could do most of the work from the attic. If it's two story then who doesn't like increased difficulty. You like [H]ard right? ;) Also you don't really need an adapter for RJ11 to RJ45. Last place I...

While I wouldn't be surprised if this is true, China has beef with Micron right now that is unrelated to any notion of consumer protections. Remember the Chinese firm Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co Ltd is accused stealing IP from Micron and is facing a export ban in the US. I would welcome...

Is that a Swiftech "Quiet Power" Radiator?

Propylene glycol is non-toxic. It's often used when you need an anti-freeze near food, It's actually also commonly used in vapes. It needs to be buffered to not become acidic over time. Proprietary propylene glycol antifreeze blends like Dowfrost have additives to prevent it from degrading and...

This whole setup was a mess, just really poorly planned. If you're serious, look into how hydronic (wiki link) systems work in big buildings. Linus was reinventing the wheel, and poorly. You typically have one powerful pump and branches that are balanced to ensure each branch gets the proper...
