@coliver Normally I would go with a standard case for upgrade stuff, but I hardly ever upgrade much anymore.

@scottalanmiller Im not sure... but the desktop sure does look sleek!

@scottalanmiller $1400

@scottalanmiller Yea, I have 2 single proc. 10 core servers, that I will have to figure out pricing on.

@scottalanmiller I missed the part on pricing in it, i read a price elsewhere on the internet

Decided not to wait until after christmas for my gaming pc. Just purchased an Asus ROG Desktop, 6th Gen i7, 16GB Ram, 4GB Nvidia GTX 970

@BRRABill From What i read it will be, but that is not official from microsoft yet.

Listening to some music and looking at ERP software.

@scottalanmiller I read somewhere(not microsoft so might not be true) That the base DC license will be $6100 and include 2 processors of 8-cores each. Didnt say anything about the 2 core addder licenses.

@scottalanmiller I just bought my first server with more than 6 cores/socket a few months ago(it has 10). So that's the perspective I'm coming from. It still raises the cost of it, and I will likely look at more Linux based solutions in the future.

@mlnews Thats not too bad...

Here is a guy looking for actual advice on his setup and what he needs to do.

@johnhooks Can't say that has happened to me.

I found a 5 pack on Amazon...

@gjacobse I should have purchased a 179 instead of the many cheaper brands i've purchased.

@thanksajdotcom I like to watch Die Hard on Christmas Eve!

Currently looking for a "Shared Storage" on the cheap to replace his Synology that has 3 hosts and 40VMs attached to it.

Why is it always these setups that use VMware?

That is how "HA" is sold by storage vendors, VMWare with a SAN.

Forgot my glasses at home, but determined to have an awesome day today. Work's xmas party is tonight at a fancy hotel and I'm going to enjoy it.

One of my biggest fears.

Forgetting glasses, not holiday parties.

Contacts is where it is at... but holiday parties has to be up there is one of my biggest fears.

I can't wear contacts... my eyes become so red and painful with contacts in.

I can't believe that another day and another... "I don't understand why RAID 5 is bad" post. Seriously? They see that it has been discussed ad nauseum but can't read the threads, follow the links or apply simple logic but need to ask the same freaking question again?

I think it is funny how we can go a week or two with none of these types of posts, then have like 8 of them in one day.

I wouldnt enable it... I've had no issue with the Intel SSDs i put in the macs i owned.
