Here's my main headquarters you could call it lol. I've got more computers in the closet, mainly servers and all. I'll get rid of the old keyboard/mouse as soon as I get another ethernet cable to go to the linux computer.

That's my daily use setup. I have another 24 port switch and all in the closet. I'm in the process of cleaning em all out so if I get time I'll be sure to post a picture of them.

Elbow grease!

You're going to o_0 when you see the new PSU installed now though below lol

I got an OCZ ModXtreme 600watt and also a Zalman Fanmate2 for the intake fan as on my mobo only one fan header (other than the CPU) can be voltage controlled from the OS and I wanted my 3rd fan slowed down to be less audible (I have super ears hah!).

Anyway, All fans are now running 700-900rpm and are uber silent, before I could hear the front fan's ambient hum but now not so. A baby could sleep with the PC on. Definitely.

Wow, that is a really nice case. Just one question, does it support TRUE 120 or is it too small?

I have the 120 you speak of and it's perfect fitting :)

unlike many other cases Lian Li cases tops can also be removed for even easier fitting.

Yeah i noticed you had one that looked similar, I think mine has a couple more heatpipes that's why I asked. :)

I am looking for a decent case to replace my Stacker 832 as the build quality is a bit off and it's starting to fall apart a bit. Dust prevention was also high on my list so I'm glad I looked in this thread, are the filters easy to change and can spares be bought easily? Side fitting drives are a plus for me as I hate having to remove stuff to change a hard drive. That's pretty neat the top can be removed.

Haha nice!

In a bid to keep the front of mine as flush and minimal as possible I have ditched my internal DVD writer and will pick up an external Samsung slim USB powered DVD drive that will sit next to the mybook hdd on my desk and look nice.

Now my case will be almost complete!

Not that its any of my business, but I'm just curious. Break it down as to what you use each computer for.

Linux PC - just a play around machine really lol.

Blusih HP PC - Untangle server. Hooked directly into the back of the bottom linksys router.

Greyish HP PC - Just sitting there, haven't found a use for a 733mhz computer yet again.

Thanks for reminding me. I'll turn that linux box into a dedicated email client. And add a email server to the server =).

The greyish HP computer will become a dedicated web server.

The bluish HP computer will become a dedicated sql server.

The pc on it's side will become a dedicated email server.

The compaq server will stay a ftp server.

Why though? Is there a law somewhere saying I can't have this many computers or more? I'm constantly putting computers together from parts I get and always buying new stuff, so why not have each do something seperate.

Well your room would be cooler, your power bill would be lower and you'd have more space :yes:

My server sitting next to me on the floor, a Dell P4 2.0 with 1 gig of ram is my

Voice Mail server

Web Server

Hamachi Server

Surveillance recording system.

and my Proxy server

Poor little computer :laugh:

My room is over a 2 car garage, it's plenty big enough for me and my setup. I've got 3 30" fans going full blast all the time as well.

Hmm, Voice mail Server, I must have one of those. What software do you use for your voice mail service?

I am looking at going all rack mounted soon though. I already have 3 19" rack cases ready to be installed and setup. Just need to get some time to do it =). And finally put that server cabinet of mine to use lol.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
