It's similar I suppose, but you'd have to be committing every 30 minutes or so (maybe your memory's better, but I find if you asked me to summarise what I did in the last 30 minutes I can fairly quickly; if you asked me to summarise my day,

That's not an example of bad design though. It's the most elegant design possible on a tool designed for one task. In ordinary use, the design is perfectly safe because nobody has any motive to do what you'd have to do for it to be dangerou

(a) I don't agree that that's what I'm going to be spending money on in two years, or that costs will have fallen that far for the entire box (CPU, RAM, yes; physical box, PSU, no), or even that that money will be available (I'm in Ireland

Even more boring when you don't have a TV in the house qw :)

Niels, the PSU in this build actually does operate most efficiently in the 40%-60% load region according to its specs; it wasn't just a rule-of-thumb. Also, the lower you load it, the easier it gets to cool, according to its own specs. Whic

In the US, I'd definitely be going with newegg, craigs and other places kev; but in Ireland, well, places like scan are about as good as it gets. Ebay is an option as well, but the build takes longer; I have a week's vacation to get this do

Kev, I could definitely do this on less CPU, less RAM, less power, and possibly less money (some of the parts for the custom small atom boards are more expensive, pound-for-pound, than their mainstream desktop counterparts). But the moment

(And I will have to buy new drives in the future. Hard drives fail, that's a fact of life - hence the RAID array, so that when they fail, I can just swap them out instead of having to spend a day reinstalling and recovering).

by markdennehy 15y ago
It's not the drives I'm future-proofing guys, it's the entire box. And "future-proofing" doesn't mean "I'll never need new hardware ever again", it means "I won't need to worry about the hardware in this box again". So I come back in two ye

It's 1-200Gb of live data, but about 1.5-2Tb of data that's currently sitting offline on DVDs which are a pain to access. I generate a fair amount of video data when training. Plus, as I said, future-proofing. I'm old enough to remember the

Ex-enterprise gear or a retired or second-hand PC would indeed be easier on the wallet and able to do the job. However, since I had neither, nor a way to get either... And yes, Atom builds could handle NAS loads easily enough, no disagreeme

It's gone up - you're talking a difference of pence between the 320Gb and 500Gb versions of the same drive these days.

by markdennehy 15y ago
320Gb is definitely more than needed, but look at the disks on the site; the smallest drive there is an 80Gb Western Digital, but it costs £29.10; the 320Gb Seagate costs £28.66. /shrug Hey, if they want to charge less for a 320Gb than a sm
