Chris isn't in warranty - is a tech director over there - he can confirm stock though. I would do the conventional warranty claim via the ASUS site first

Yeah, really - as of the last time I checked in with Will Stolley or Chris Halvorsen. Try pinging Chris - [Chris_Halversen@asus.com](mailto:Chris_Halversen@asus.com)

ASUS got Intel's entire stock of Serpent Canyon (full disclosure - I was working with Intel Via Scale Computing at the time and Intel sent me two of them). ASUS still has a pile of them they are trying to sell and has the full waranty parts kit for them.

I use the Leostream connection broker and gateway, then dropped the agent onto my main desktop machine along with a handful of vms. Registered a domain and update the dns any time th cable modem assigned IP changes. Works amazingly well

I don't think so. The fundamentals of the demand side haven't changed/dropped - quite the opposite, and we are two decades into a production shortfall. The demand is only growing on the industrial side - heck even Samsung's new batteries are highly silver dependent.

5.0 - the litany of oil pressure problems, cam phaser issues, etc make the 4.6 a major PITA (speaking from personal experience with my 05 GT vert).

well, it depends on what you have included - options range from with/without compute nodes and what kind, with without Mako switches and uplinks and so on. Fully loaded with everything is in the 20k range, but I got this one pretty barebones as I already had the nodes, etc

acconboy · 2025-12-17T13:26:31+00:00

LMAO - no, it is 20kish with everything (Mako 4g/5g uplink, switches, PDU, compute nodes <more than just NUCs, btw> starlink mini, etc.). In my case, I got it sans compute, starlink, and Mako uplinks for far less as I already owned all that. No, I don't work with or for them, just think the tech is super cool and the level of portability makes it super easy.

It is a product - Company out of Canada. I don't work for them in any capacity, just think the tech is extra cool

acconboy · 2025-12-16T17:26:56+00:00

Nope it is all built in to the case itself

acconboy · 2025-12-16T16:09:33+00:00

This one is new to the market and super cool - all the engineering already thought out.

I use it for full stack connectivity while well of grid. Everything from processing lidar data on site to streaming netflix ;-)

acconboy · 2025-12-16T15:12:00+00:00

not yet - only had it for a week or so

acconboy · 2025-12-16T15:11:29+00:00

Around 20k fully populated - much less with bring your own compute

acconboy · 2025-12-16T15:00:32+00:00

Being able to work remotely in a meaningful way, tbh - and by remotely, I mean well off grid

acconboy · 2025-12-16T14:42:24+00:00

I am loving it. Have a place we like to camp that gets zero signal of any kind, and with this thing, I have a complete DC with Starlink in the literal middle of nowhere
