+1 on the Fractal Define series. My Fractal Define 7 was a breeze to work in, even if it is a little expensive.

11·1 month agoI want to believe this is a sign AI investment is drying up, but I know that’s just me being hopeful 🙃
That’s insane it’s buried so deep in the settings. I get why, but that’s terrible
I’ve been running MoCA in my home for the last ~5 years and it seems to be doing just fine. Even in my last house with older coax run I was able to get ~1Gbps to my endpoints. The latency difference hasn’t been a problem for me, even with 3-4 adapters in use.
It’s not quite as nice as having cat6 run everywhere, but unless you’re trying to like edit 4K video off a NAS or something that needs a ton of bandwidth it should do just fine.
FWIW, I use these adapters from GoCoax, but there are other good ones out there too: https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-Ethernet-Bandwidth-existing/dp/B09RB1QYR9

More 8GB cards sucks if that’s what gets released, but it’s not like you can’t game at all without more VRAM. Just turn down your settings till a better deal comes along.
This is actually kinda cool! Hopefully it eventually becomes a “default” of some sort or at least has an easy toggle in compatible configs.
If this is true, that’s a small win but I’ll take it :)
I can’t say I’m surprised. I can’t imagine too many scenarios where one would want to buy a motherboard without RAM and a CPU, barring the obvious replacement purchases and the occasion you might need a feature your board doesn’t have (like PCIe gen 4 to gen 5). Yet another hardware shortage definitely puts a damper on enthusiasm too…
Maybe we’ll see motherboards come down in price to drive sales? One can hope.
Not much for me atm, though in a day or two I’m (finally) fixing a major problem with my VM storage array - I’m replacing the crappy Crucial BX500’s in my VM storage mirror with a couple refurbished 2TB Intel D3-S4510 SSDs I got from Server Part Deals. I’m very excited for this saga to be over, since I’ve been fighting horrible VM performance for over a year, and it was bad enough to where simply pushing changes to git repos or syncing a modest amount of data to my Nextcloud would hang the VMs for a few minutes!
Otherwise I’m just looking at maybe replacing my Puppet infra with SaltStack, and getting some new Packer images built for FreeBSD 15.1 and Almalinux 10 :)
