I’ve got an alert on OzB for Flint 2 deals. This isn’t it. :(

It’s stable enough for almost everything with a few caveats. 1. CGNAT 2. There are frequent tiny packet losses when satellite switching.…

You mean the GN burn. I lol'd.

This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Regional WA is locked out.

I bought a large Lian Li tower server case a month ago. It’s got a firewire port in it. Around 20yo. Comes with a wheeled dolly to roll…

As far as I’m aware Lian Li is still good. At a guess this is a clearance of old stock. USB 3.1 and a PCIE 4.0 riser is all out of date…

Update on this: I got the $69/mo deal with free Starlink rental. I went with a $500 installer from a local IT company. Two men rocked up.…

Midnight - Ryzen 7 7800X3D BYO GPU is killer. I wish I was in a position to buy this. Here's hoping this sale is a roaring success and…

> Must be a glut of PSUs especially enthusiast grade and other stuff if fewer people can afford to build machines Exactly this. Most people…

This is a pretty good card. I'm upgrading to it from my RTX 3090. For some people, this is the best of the 9070 XT cards. Performance, etc.…

Thanks. That is annoying, but fair and expected. I bought this card over a week ago for $1029. It's still in the post. I'd love to get that…

Expired? It's A$ 20.50 for me

This is openwrt compatible with the latest stable ver. 24.10.5 https://openwrt.org/toh/asus/tuf-ax6000 256MB flash 512MB ram

It’s a bit hard to diagnose. Maybe water damage? It could have been an old spill and the corrosion has taken a while to affect it. Bad…

Ah, it looks like the Mini is an extra mesh router? That’d be neat, but not useful for me. I’m going to put the Starlink router in…

Mine arrived today. It came with the full fat Gen 3 router, and not the mini-router. That means I get two ethernet ports and don't have to…

I’m impressed with how much you squeezed your n here with the current market prices. We even get white components and sleeved cables with…

It’s understandable why you’d think that, but after building a server with high amounts of sas-storage piece by piece (using 2nd hand…

2 out of the 3 DDR5 manufacturers (Micron and SK Hynix) have both stated that they expect RAM prices to stay high until 2028.

3000A model with air compressor for $87.99 with the same coupon. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/335671796490

This is pretty neat if you already have DDR3 components. SAS is built-in. Need to use a freight forwarder to save on postage tho…

I’ve been seeing the same thing. I’ve been eyeing up old DDR3 server grade hardware myself (there are some impressively feature-rich…

I’d argue that now is the best time. I expect prices to increase and stay high at least through 2026 as all 2026 manufacturing capacity…

Difficult to produce hardware that AI data centres need. We’ve already seen diesel and gas generators, RAM chips, and GPU chips, go…

Absolutely. No one wants a wind-born missile. Just fyi, they changed the warning system last year. No more red alerts. The blue-yellow-red…

Regarding "cut the cable to feed" etc. I was quoting the installer's words from about a year ago (to another customer). Maybe he's changed…

I already am, but the free install is usually not something that gets mentioned in the deals.

That might explain why Circl never contacted me back over the past few weeks. Unfortunately $700 is too much for us. It's a fair price, but…

The last Starlink deal for my region (Port Hedland, WA, 6722) was free hardware rental, free install, and I think $20 off as well. It took…

Looks like the free install is gone now. Too late for me.
