Creating my note sheet. 8.5x11x2= 187 square inches.

use a small print and you can cram a lot of info into a sheet of paper. You need to organise it into sections though. markers help.

You drink.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Okay...

alfa = 21? 22?
Bane = 21
ICF = 40
sdifox = 40?
shorty = 30?
eldorado = ???

It's like a history lesson on old technology and programs in here sometimes.

Shorty, IIRC, recently stated he is 31. I will be 41 in just a couple short months (November).

You drink.

I hydrate.

I just want a little box which can run a VM or two and can access some storage. For most things, one drive would be fine though I'd probably get at least two and mirror them. The VMs I would put on this guy would be low-impact things like a domain controller and a Vent/TS server, so storage capacity or even storage performance isn't overly critical. My next box will have at least 16 GB of RAM and maybe 32 GB; that's where all the beefy VMs will go so I can use them for development purposes.

I don't anticipate making this change for another year. My server was built with a 5 year lifespan in mind and by God, I'll use it for 5 years or more unless it explodes. When I kick my friend's dev lab off of it next month, I'm going to move the SQL VM from my HTPC over to it and I imagine I'll see a big performance improvement. Which reminds me, I need to email him.

any of your current box is probably fine for the vm baremetal. just more hdd and memory.

Oh, all my boxes are fine for that. That isn't the point. I want something that consumes less power and produces less heat. If I could grab a passively cooled mini-ITX box that meets my specs, that would be my best bet.

lulz, power consumption...

pretty sure alcohol de-hydrates.

Honestly I don't care too much about power consumption but I do care about heat since the man cave is very hot. And the two are usually tied together.

 

[MotF Bane]

Nef.

Quite true.

Shooting spree is too close to the compound word shopping spree. Hate when the news uses shooting spree

 

[MotF Bane]

Hey guys, there's a thread in P&N. "londons burning"

It's become quite the lulzfest.

 

[MotF Bane]

Yes, I'm taking on the anti-Europe sock puppets. It's an amusing distraction from calculus.

 

[MotF Bane]

This is fun.
