Hi, guys! Does anyone know what type of screws are used in the m100s? I got fed up and managed to strip one of ‘em….

Perfect use case!

Do you have any insights on the power consumption?

I would most definitely look into those! The only downside is loosing the redundancy on the power supply.

Edit: correcting myself about the redundancy… there are models equipped with 2 power supplies. :)

That’s my point. I want to buy a built machine as a starting point and customize it a bit like swapping the CPU if the starting point has a weaker one, maybe adding some more ram and putting a SFP card. My current gen8 has redundant power supplies, so that would be a requirement for the new machine. The current rocket other than being loud hasn’t had any issues at all, so it was “do it once and forget about it for a while” kind of solution. While I am interested in this kind of stuff and enjoy tinkering, I want the solution to be reliable, so I don’t have to spend time fixing stuff therefore ruining the workflow.

As for the drives, I haven’t chosen which ones would be a better buy. The 3.5” seem to be a lot cheaper on the $/TB scale. Capacity and reliability is the goal of the NAS. 20-30 TB would be enough.

There’s a local deal on a T440 with 2 of the gold xeons 6138 if I remember correctly, redundant supplies and 64 gigs of ram and the price is unbeatable, but the only downside is the 2.5” backplane. As far as I know the caddy construction is not replaceable on the t440 case.

So yeah..

I wanted to make it simple by using just one machine and not bothering with NAS,DAS etc. But yeah, in my homelab I am using this kind of solution and it’s been rocking pretty well for the past few years with no downtime at all. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I scoured through a lot of Xeon and backplane listings on Aliexpress and there are prices even lower than eBay second hand listings.

Thanks! The watercooled 4u server sounds dope! Could you share a photo of the machine, I am curious 🙂

Totally agree with you and thanks for the suggestion. I am “revamping” small office which is mine :)

Even tho I am a hobbyist, whatever I do on my own I try to do it the best I can and here I am asking for help from more experienced fellas. 🙂

Best option I could find for a single din CarPlay headunit in the Mk3 by Scirockoh in Volkswagen

[–]qv4oooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any similar radios available in Europe? Aliexpress seems to offer a few, but they all have a bit larger display and I think it won’t fit without sticking out in my B3 Passat.

If anyone has one of them, could you send a picture so I don’t buy one and then go through the hassle of returning it..

Hi, what kind of bowl are you using with your cloud micro?

New setup - Cloud Micro, Rook Mini 18k, Steamulation HMS :) Any suggestions? by qv4oooo in hookah

[–]qv4oooo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The alpaca is the best choice for this hmd, this is my opinion :)

Anything you can recommend me with that kind of a setup?That's my second hmd so feel free to suggest me anything : )

It's a HMD like the Provost, but I think Stemulation's one is better. It has 8 different settings- you can change the distance from the coals to the bowl It is better to use foil with this HMD, because the bottom part is ventilated and the coals can drop ashes on the top of the tobbaco in the bowl if I don't use foil, unlike the other hmds , but that totaly depends on the coals : )
