IceMan37 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Wow great find I do believe I will order one :big_grin: Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted July 26, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted July 26, 2014 I don't know much about these. I might have to open the pocketbook again. Can never have too many drives. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
FPCH Admin AWS Posted July 26, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted July 26, 2014 I gone and done it. Bought 2 of them. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
IceMan37 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 lol that's normal when I am on my regular job I surf newegg, amazon, directron, mwave looking for a motherboard or CPU deal I'm glad Rich found this I'm actually going to buy one. Quote
Rich-M Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 I did and I have no clue what I will do with it either. I have been thinking of upgrading my laptop (which I seldom use) but its a Sony Touchscreen 14" that is so fast now I can barely see the screens change with a 7200 Rpm hard drive and 16 gb ram on a Gen 4 Intel cpu, it actually scares me to think it will be faster.

FPCH Admin AWS Posted July 27, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted July 27, 2014 I am building a new server and little by little I am buying the parts. These 2 drives and the 3 I bought the other day will go into it. These 2 in raid 1 as boot drive and the other 3 in raid 10 for database. Now Rich, work your magic and find a deal on some Xeon processors. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
Rich-M Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 I just turned around and bought another of these as I get occasional BSODs in my main desktop and I have a 2 year old Crucial SSD in it I don't trust and its a 120 gb anyway which has been sufficient because my files are on a server but for $89 as a test, why not!!!! You know even $109 is a great price actually. Quote

Rich-M Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 I have been looking for your Xeon cpu and do not see a lot and I am thinking about replacing my HP server with a custom build and I don't see more than $25-40 off probably because its not a huge demand item Bob. What cpu are you looking for? Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted July 28, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted July 28, 2014 They aren't in high demand, but, every once in a while you'll see a deal on them. I'd love to get an E-5, but, they're still a bit pricey. I'm looking for a couple E-3 V2. They are starting to come down in price. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
FPCH Admin AWS Posted July 28, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted July 28, 2014 I bought this motherboard, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131886 a couple weeks ago. Once the E-5 comes down a bit more I'll buy a couple. I'm looking at memory for it now. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
Rich-M Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 Nice board Bob. I see $15 off a few E3 but nothing to back up the truck to. Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted July 30, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted July 30, 2014 I come home this afternoon and my front porch looked like a computer parts warehouse. I have 5 drives, 1 motherboard and a power supply lined up in a nice neat row. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
Rich-M Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 I can top that this morning I couldn't open the door because there was a box big enough to live in from D&H (5- $22 Antec micro cases, 3 motherboards, 2 processors and 2 video cards....and remember I said they never ship in the mfgr's boxes), and when I finally wrestled that in the door behind it was a box with 2 Ssd drives followed by one with 4 power supplies not to mention another little box with 6 double sticks of ram. I was worn out before breakfast and I thought my GSD was going to flood the room before I could clear the door to get her out! I wish I could have turned everyone on to the $22 Antec cases but that was a D&H Special and you gotta have an account there to get that. Last month they also had a deal for $42 Toshiba 500 Gb 5 year warranty drives and I filled a cabinet with those suckers. I am struggling to find room for all this stuff. Cindy has seen my space though I have rebuilt since she was here and its a lot better but this is still overwhelming. 1 Quote

Rich-M Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 We haven't been able to walk into that for years Cindy! Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted July 31, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted July 31, 2014 My bad. :confused: You can barely get into my computer closet either. Although it's all organized, getting to it is another story. o_O Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
