Re: show us your iron
@slartie Wow! Very nice! (⌬̀⌄⌬́)
Out of curiosity, what do you do with 5TB of disk space? I have 320GB which I haven't even come close to filling up.

Re: show us your iron
^ The whole porn collection. :) Seriously, I have a ton of music and movies. That eats space especially CDs ripped in Flac format.

SSD 1 = OS
SSD 2 = Games (Windows)
HDD 1 = Movies and TV Shows (obviously all legal)
HDD 2 = Various
You don't download porn anymore. You just open redtube, pornhub, xvideos or do a google search without a content filter :)

I think I can safely say this is the nicest keyboard I've ever owned (including the Apple stuff). I'm impressed, I love it.DebianJoe wrote:I just want to finger your keyboard. Browns are nice.

Re: show us your iron
@slartie Ah! Thanks; that makes complete sense. I don't have much Video at all, but the few webms I do have certainly take up their fair share of space. As to the NSFW content, much of what is out there is cheesy; seriously, who watches this stuff if they know 80% is faked? Music takes up about 1/2 of my total used disk space; all legal, of course. Sort of. Mostly.

Re: show us your iron
Dr_Chroot: Whenever I'm playing a game, I usually have some movie or show running on the other monitor. I delete stuff once I've seen it, so I have a failing hope that the HDD will be empty at some point. Fat chance.

Re: show us your iron
^ Haha, helt enig :)
Wish I had more pc's that I can play with tbh. :S I have two, a core2 duo noname lappy (linux with multi boot, 6 distros) and a Lenovo i5 "mini tower" which I fucking love to bits. No Linux on it yet though, at some there WILL be, but I really like Lenovo products, full stop! Jealous of you guys with the Thinkpads, I want one :D
So essentially I only have one Linux machine :(

Re: show us your iron
Sweeeet, wux. I thought of getting one as well. Cool that they mention linux distros in the OS compatibility section. Good ol' intel :)

Re: show us your iron
yeah you'd think, but I'm not super impressed, they put a normal lappy 2.5 in... no SSD :(
very cute looking and a mini.iso CD (Don't ask why it's a CD, NOC full of geeks, no USB sticks lying around & I forgot mine) worked fine and booted fine, no UEFI nonsense stuff.
Just a bit slow to boot, and to open apps, bit of a bummer. (allegedly the GFX can play games well, not much use at work)
I know complain, complain - no gratitude....

Re: show us your iron
New work iron showing up today for MAJOR infrastructural upgrade in my department come Monday:
* Eight bay hot-swap SAS SATA disk drive cage
* 16-core Intel Xeon (32 threads) 3.5GHz processor
* 32GB DDR3 RAM
* (1) 120GB SSD for Windows Server 2012
* (3) 500GB HDD, 15,000 RPM Seagate SAS drives
* 1TB RAID 0+1 (striped and mirrored)
* etc...
This thing is massive, feels like it weighs 90 lbs.
On the one hand, I'm excited for the much needed upgrade. On the other hand, I'm a little stressed out, because we're looking at 3 days of installation and training on the new system, and we have been pretty busy lately. Can't afford any downtime. Hopefully I can run the old system concurrently while the new one is going in.

Re: show us your iron
Wow! Looks like it will be fun :D I'll echo simgin here; what are you planning on putting on it? Three days of installation and training: are you completely switching operating systems?

Looks like a really nice bit of Kit, wrong way round of course. :)
Dual hot swappable PSU's sweet. plenty of room for disk upgrades.
Please tell me you are feeding it with a UPS, if only for the clean 'leccy
Yeah they are heavy, some of the 2U beasts full of spinning rust is very heavy, we need two guys to pull it out the rack, not just for health and safety - coz he-man couldn't get it out.
Re: show us your iron
Yeah, Windows Server 2012 on this bad boy. Workstations in the print industry are typically Macs, whereas the servers are typically Windows Server. This thing runs a VERY proprietary print industry workflow solution called XMF:

The client software runs on either Mac or Win PC workstations.
I'd love to have something like this to play with, I'm sure it would compile software like a speed demon. But alas, this is strictly business.
