legally?
They were going to get junked/salvaged. So yeah. New policy in place now. Everything has to be accounted for, even those getting thrown away.
fuuuuu
that was probably awesome while it lasted. I had a buddy who worked at an old tech place and whenever they got rid of something they would just throw it in the dumpster out back. He would go at night and take it and sell it. May some good skrilla and helped pay for some college. Not exactly legal but I don't think his company was complaining cause he never took it unless it had already been thrown out.

Bought two bits of kit today.
Firstly a Cooler master HAF 912 plus case to replace my ageing thing.
HAF912
And secondly a Antec KUHLER H2O 920 Liquid Cooling System to replace the noisy aircraft prop that's currently cooling down my AMD FX 8150
H20920
Rather sportingly about 2 weeks after l installed the processor AMD decided to sell them with a liquid cooler instead of a fan....... Gits!
Fixed the link, cheers for that!

Might get two more if they turn out great. Five-way, 90-degree rotated.

PS fan is crapping out... Plus I hear working on PSU's is safe and easy so I'm going to jump into it head first.

hmmm,
i think i'll buy 2 monitors and a second 560 when i get my tax return.
I currently have 2 monitors, 1 24" and a 19", though 3 24" would be mint.

We are moving our old data center to a brand spanking new one, and it's a gold mine if you're fast enough We have a shitload of old Rittal racks going to the junk yard. Man, I hope I already had that house with a proper garage. I would fill a wall with them for storage use since they have locks on them.Ilocano wrote:

Yeah, the racks are sweet. Insanely heavy duty. Defiinitely would make great garage racks.
Our lease is out by the end of the year. Corporate office will be moving to a new building. That includes the datacenter. Sad that I can't "loot" anymore.

Wouldnt you want an nVidia card so he could use CUDA for CAD?Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

From all the benchmarks and tests I've seen CUDA makes very little difference in performance in CAD programs on consumer level cards.Wallpaper wrote:

If we were comparing high-end Quadro and Firepro cards then individual features (eg CUDA) would be important. However, to get a workstation card that would actually be worth getting I would be looking at a minimum of $400+ dollars. Something like a HD6870 (or nvidia equivalent) gives him enough power for the limited CAD he will be doing at home, as well as gaming. So then the decision was simply best card for the best price. From what i've seen there would be basically no difference between a HD6870 and GTX560 for example, as the gaming cards are more restricted by their drivers in CAD application, rather than hardware or specific features.
E: thats just from my understanding, I haven't used CAD since high school.

I bought the Gigabyte HD6850 about 3 weeks ago. It's been working really well and has made BF3 playable.
