Rubbermaid container and cut some holes.

Seems kind of large. How am I supposed to fit this in my trashcan when it runs out of the "ink" it comes with? If the printer costs $400k I can only imagine what they're charging for supplies. Pretty neat, though..

The numbers are from the labels on the fans. A Google image search of "FFB0412SHN-9C72" shows where the "9C72" is located. I looked on other manufacturer's websites (Sanyo Denki/SanAce and Nidec) and the suffix may be a customer-specific number. I'm beginning to think that the numbers may not...

Hi all, Does anyone have a reference or know how to decode the suffix for Delta fan part numbers? I'm trying to replace a fan in a switch and even though the major part number is the exact same, the fans behave differently. The part number guide on Delta's website shows how to decode the main...

I like to read these types of articles pretending that I've stepped forwards in time from the 1800s. Riley

I just went through this with a system that's a bit newer than yours. I have an HP Z230 workstation (i7-4770). It does have UEFI, but does not support NVME booting. What you're looking for is an SSD which has the necessary OPROM to support booting. As far as I can tell, the only one is the 950...

I believe it's real. Why? Because Microsoft is that guy at the party who tries oh so hard to be cool yet fails hilariously.. Riley

From: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pwcnt/en/powerconnect-5500-series-spec.pdf The HDMI stacking link has 10Gb/s of bandwidth. So, a 10Gb computer on #1 switch talking to a 10Gb computer on #2 switch could saturate the stack link. The benefit of stacking is that you can manage...

Hi All, I think I already know the answer to this question.. Are there any USB-C/Thunderbolt Ethernet adapters with a good Intel chipset? I'm thinking of replacing my 13" Retina Macbook Pro with a Skylake Dell XPS 13 and I will need an Ethernet adapter as I use them frequently. Most seem to...

There are strong suspicions that these sellers are taking used drives, wiping the SMART data, and then re-selling them. However, for the price you could buy 2 - 3 of these for the price of an actual new drive. Myself, I bought a couple of their 2TB 7K3000s almost two years ago and they're still...

The PII Overdrive processors were just Deschutes PII cores in a socket 8 package. If Intel didn't change the CPUID from a regular PII then I would imagine it would work just as any other slot 1 PII in a slot 1 board. However, if the CPUID on the overdrives different then you would need a board...

No problem. I can see how my statement was misleading. I think what I was trying to say was that database-type applications are affected by the issue. Normal file operations seem to continue working. It's how those apps try to allocate additional extents and/or the number of extents they request...

Here is the relevant Microsoft KB article. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/967351. We ran into this issue a couple months ago and it took a small Exchange 2010 server offline. I don't think this is an issue with these application because they access the disks directly and bypass the...

For 99% of the population it isn't necessary. However, in some cases on a system with more than 80% fragmentation you can run into an issue where some database applications (like SQL and Exchange) will not be able to keep track of the large number of fragments. Then, you start to have issues. :)...

I currently have an Apple Case and I'd like to keep it for when the iPad isn't in whatever I'm going to buy to protect it. So, I already have a cover/case that I'm happy with - just need something like the Pelican to put it in when it's in my bag. The Pelican looks real nice, but it's 1.25"...
