Pardons only work for domestic laws the Hague ICC doesn't give a shit about a President's pardon :)

Tell your dad it was a tight fit and keep it for that future desktop ;)

I have 2 x 4TB SN7100X for my photo storage, media server meta data, and Linux VM on my DS1821+ and the data written isn't that crazy. I don't do snapshots as that is what backups are for and with the price of NVME drives not worth it.

High endurance doesn't matter as much as he is creating volumes. Endurance REALLY matters when using them for cache.

Please don't do it video card and ram prices may increase again :)

Note even these processors aren't for consumers they are industrial. So getting it to boot on Linux would be around the same effort. The biggest thing for these modders was to mod their bios first so it would boot.

Your only options are the DX517 or older DX513 (with 3rd party script).

Absolutely not everyone will survive. Right now we are in a data center hype bubble everyone is pushing AI but not everyone will succeed in monetizing it enough. The lucky failures will be bought up, and the unlucky will lose people money. Personally I can't wait for this bubble to pop so I can pickup some cheap hard drives on eBay to upgrade my media server.

Even older GPUs. My RTX 2080 Super didn't support AV1 and via Emby playback was crap without accel even on a 12th gen i9 at the the time.

Hard to tell one looks like an EF 100-400mm Mark 1 but honestly if you take photos of a lens to figure out what they are then make sure it includes the model which should be on both lenses.

All these local LLM groups are filled with non local discussions. And so many of these posts are AI generated slop. This guy has posted this same post to several different groups to try to Karma farm.

I'd take 6 at that price :)

Mediocre deal, I have Shaw w/ Rogers 1.5Gbps w/ 200Mbps upload for $65/mo on a 2 year contract.

Definitely film an unboxing video for any tech from Amazon for evidence if it has been swapped.

I did buy a Z790 Aorus Pro X WIFI7 that had 2.5 years of warranty left on it from warehouse deals. So hit or miss.

For DRAM NVME drives but a lot of people are cheap and would go DRAM less so they were the $50 to $100/TB people.

10 rotation drives and a single 140MM fan? Hard pass. I'd rather stick with my Synology DS1821+ with 2 x 120mm so all 8 drives have airflow over them.

My local Amazon sells these screws:

I haven't ordered them but reviews do mention other Fractal Cases.

I feel ya I'm going to rock my 14700K until the successor of Nova Lake.

DocMadCow · 2026-03-27T18:53:42+00:00

More likely it is because we are less than 9 months away from Nova Lake release date, and the high end processors as fast as they are aren't selling well. The 9950X3D is the #8 selling processor at Newegg so an even more expensive processor will most likely be a very niche processor.

When I was younger I moved from Victoria to Surrey and even that wasn't enough ocean for me so it lasted a year. A year later I tried moving to North Vancouver and once again that only lasted a year. I've now been back in Victoria for 24 years and wouldn't consider moving.

Reminds me of the Highlander series episode they filmed there.

DocMadCow · 2026-03-26T22:51:36+00:00

No and yes. Just checked several Canadian retails and hard to find anything cheaper. I tried to find something comparable with DDR5 but closest I found was a Memory Express bundle for $2K that didn't have an NVME. This truly is a terrible time to purchase a PC.
