just curious, where do you have them listed?

If I was going to run 200A (22kW) worth of GPUs, I'd run them OUTSIDE. obviously with a roof over it (or some other easy method of mitigating rain). Why spend money on cooling when you don't have to?

Does [H] have a list of reputable places? I'd love to replace my aging 6k cards with some newer 7k stuff with BTC - PPD is way, way better on the 7k cards.

Heh, If you had a small nuclear reactor, you could probably make more money selling power than mining BTC...

I want those X-serve RAIDs. Why did apple have to kill off the rack mount stuff again?

This seems like a tolerable place to ask - does anyone here actually buy anything with BTC, or do you just exchange it? I'm a bit wary of spending BTC to buy something, given the likelyhood of being taken for a ride.

it's done all the time at much higher pressures than you see in PC watercooling: soft copper is soft relatively speaking (compared to yellow brass).

My new rig: It's a rather tight fit, but it worked out. parts: PC-z60 AX850 dirt 3 6950 (unlocked) i7 940 (oc pending) 12GB 1600 8-8-8-24 koolance inx-720 w/AP-15s hybrid HDD 3ware 9500S-4LP

There's more to it than just the CPU when you do that too though, different chipsets can weigh in pretty heavily, too. Except for when you do... http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/10/rk-collection-toyota-camry-coupe-v8.html

I'd like to see this as well. According to my guestimath, a 3.0GHz c2q is roughly equivalent to a stock i5-750.

Hmmm. Current rig: Q6700@ 3.0, 6950 (unlocked) @ 910/1320. I notice cpu limitation only in SC2, near the end of maps when there's epic rushing (or at the 40 minute mark in tug-0-war). I'm almost never the first person to get the "your computer is slowing down the game" notice. I usually...

I disagree. I run VMs regularly on my macbook, and the performance difference is incredible. I no longer suffer through long periods of nothing while the harddrive thrashes trying to do the work of four computers. With the SSD, you can't even tell I've got the VMs running. As for weight, I...

That loose GFCI breaker is retarded. It's not doing anything if the circuit that it's SUPPOSED to be protecting isn't hooked up to it, and it can't do anything if it's not snapped in to the bus bar (that hot connection isn't a magic unicorn). If I were me, I'd fix it myself, and probably add...

(double post thanks to posting rules) Imagine if you were using AES-256?

Distributed.net is doing that right now, with a 72 bit key: RC5-72 bit. Currently just over 2% done @ 3,373 days. Estimated remaining time at current rate: 45,081 days (123 years). A life sentence or self incrimination. Which to choose?

In the automotive industry, the change has been FROM copper core/finned radiators TO aluminum radiators - mostly because the copper radiators disadvantage is in the mating of fins to the core (and the price of copper - never forget cost). Moving the heat from the core to the fins is the most...

Are you for real? the static charge that MIGHT build up will be on the hose, not the air in the hose. When was the last time you got a static shock from the AIR in your house?

You should drain the tank from time to time.

An unvented power brick may seem hot to the touch, but a small block (lets call it huge @ 2"x2"x3") of plastic with a surface temp of 40C compared to a box venting 40CFM @ 35C, the box is putting out waaaaaay more heat. you can't judge power output by surface temp.

1 That was done to waste less space, which is a premium in laptops 2 Uhm, it's a laptop? there's almost nothing serviceable in a laptop 3 you don't like 13" laptops? 4 agreed - HD3k FTL. Bring back the days of nvidia chipsets (wait, that doesn't work with sandy) and the 330m (it's faster than...

So much truth there - it sucks buying something and then finding out it's been abandoned, and there's no custom roms because they did something weird and proprietary.

I stick to virtualbox on my 5 year old macbook. the 2.2GHz core2, 4GB ram, and 160GB SSD seem to keep things moving pretty smoothly at work.

They had a few episodes on boston legal...

That's a good way to learn, but sometimes "trial-by-fire" can be fun, too. Just don't try it at home ;)

It was about time a ship fired more than one blast, followed by a three day conference to determine if they should consider a followup shot.

#1: a kill-a-watt meter. Google it. It works on a toaster, too. Operating temp of the measured device isn't relevant. #2: that would be dumb. the transmission losses in low voltage power transmission are massive - you'd need 000 gauge wires in the wall just to make it feasible.

I think DS9 is probably the best star trek, but if you haven't seen the G&S adaptation U.S.S. Pinafore, you don't know what you're missing.

Media center seems to have a thing about recording to non-local drives. I've been trying to get it to record to a network share with no luck, but the sym-link option is not one i've tried yet.

wut?

Mine just barely runs when I fold, with a plug power draw of 300W.

why on earth are you replacing an AX850? your new rig specs suggest a half decent 650W would be more than necessary.

ESXi seems to be very picky re: the hardware it's running on.

ESXi would be where i'd look first. One was related to a licensing issue, and don't worry about the other.

If you really want that last little edge, run your computer on 220V. Every single PSU i've seen reviewed has higher efficiency on 220V than 110V.

Everything has had its own controller since IDE, what exactly do you mean?

You can't just pick an arbitrary speed that worked for someone else and expect it to work for you. As for furmark, powertune +20?

You're forgetting that ANY UT subscription comes with support. I've called them twice since I started using it, and I had my problem solved nearly instantly. From dialing, to hanging up, One call was 3 minutes long, the other was around 4 minutes. That's truly epic . They even spoke good...

Only? what on earth are you doing? 10k concurrent connections is enough for an entire school district.

I love my UT box - running on a dual 2.8GHz Xeon (netburst) rig. I do run real services though, so it's not entirely foolish. UT isnt really a router, it's more of and edge device - if you want routing, head over to pf sense, and run UT in bridge mode. You can run them both on the same box in...
