I got the pair for $1400. In good condition they are worth around $3K. Both of them mostly work, no big deal repairing the parts that aren’t firing, the real challenge will be repairing worn paint and plastic components that aren’t sold anymore, unless you catch one by luck on eBay or something. I’m hoping to build a small inventory and flip a few so I can buy the ones I really want. Slowly working on a game room.
friend of mine and his dad work on old cars, so they got an old car, cut out the middle and shortened it into a trailer, the trunk opens up to a TV, the windows were modified to drop down panels for the bars, and the engine was converted to a grill with a TV for him while he cooks pics Spoiler
Looking for earbud suggestions in the ~ $50 range. Don’t have a preference of wired vs wireless, just want what will give me the best music-listening experience. TIA.
Bought a refurbished HM Aeron on Amazon so it’s roughly 50% off of list. Coming tomorrow and I’m pretty pumped
Ordered a new computer to troll the internet on, 5k. Pretty excited, hard drive on my current one is only 2 years old and it's failing already. Fuck Seagate and fuck the Yankees. Also looking at a couple properties along the river. First one is 5 acres with a house, the other 70+ acres.
I don't need this much computer to putter around on the internet, but I like things that are overbuilt. Not my exact build, but it's the same P920 frame. https://www.eweek.com/pc-hardware/l...n-delivers-plenty-of-power-for-its-high-price Lenovo P920 Workstation Delivers Plenty of Power for Its High Price REVIEW: From the front the P920 Workstation looks a lot like a standard tower PC configuration. But a closer examination reveals that it’s wider and longer than the typical desktop and weighs more than 70 pounds. Lenovo’s P920 dual-processor professional workstation is designed for the kind of workloads that most computers simply cannot do. Outfit it properly, and it’s the perfect solution for research, artificial intelligence development, engineering or serious graphics rendering. The P920 is expensive, but it’s designed to be a computer that will last for a long time, and just about everything inside can be upgraded to ensure that it does. For mundane tasks, this workstation is over-engineered. It can manage more memory—up to 2 terabytes—than anything else in its class. It can run more storage drives and up to three Nvidia P6000 graphics cards. But for intensive computing, this is a computer that probably do anything you can imagine. To accomplish this level of performance, Lenovo has built a beast. From the front it looks a lot like a standard tower configuration, but look again and you’ll see that it’s wider and longer. It weighs more than 70 pounds. The case is designed so that controls on the front and connectors on the rear are protected from damage. There are hand-holds for lifting on every corner of the case. What you get for all of this heft is a computer that’s designed for complete serviceability. Like the Hewlett Packard Inc. workstation we examined in eWEEK’s series on upgrading your old workstation, this computer is designed for tool-free servicing. Inside, you’ll see handles and levers marked in red, indicating touchpoints that can be used to access and remove the components. In fact, even the main system board of the P920 can be removed and replaced without tools. Much of the interior space is taken up by air channels and baffles that ensure that cool air is directed at the powerful Intel Xeon processors as well as the other heat-generating components. Lenovo says that it uses fewer fans than other workstations in its class. But like other workstations, those fans are individually controlled so that they can move the right amount of air to exactly the right place. All of this air cooling means that the P920 makes some noise. While the fan noise is rarely objectionable, it is noticeable. This is especially the case when the computer is in sleep mode, and apparently detects a high temperature, whereupon it briefly wakes up. You can hear the fans spool up to a slight whine before everything quiets down again. The workstation that Lenovo sent eWEEK for review was equipped with 32 GB of memory, a 1 TB SSD, a 12-core Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processor that runs at 2.3 GHz and an Nvidia P6000 graphics card. The price for this configuration is slightly more than $8000. However, as workstations go, this was a fairly modest set-up. The P920 workstation could have been outfitted with dual Xeon Gold 6136 processors, three Nvidia P6000 graphics cards and several terabytes of disk space. You can easily spend $30,000 on a fully-configured P920, which you could presumably use for mining cryptocurrency quickly enough to pay for it in a matter of minutes. When I tested the performance of the P920 using Geekbench 4 from Primate Labs the results were 3956 for the single-core tests and 25931 for the multi-core tests. This is faster than the updated HP Z620 that was the subject of the update series last month, but not by a huge amount. The old HP cranked out a single core score of 2845 and a multi-core score of 23430. But where the difference really appeared was in the compute benchmark score of 212082. This is a very high compute benchmark score for an off-the-shelf workstation. The GPU of the Nvidia P6000 graphics card gets the credit here. When combined with the P920’s architecture, delivers a powerful punch. I don’t know how much faster adding two more graphics cards would be, but I suspect there would be an improvement. I also tested the P920 under more real-world conditions by loading Adobe’s image processing software, including Photoshop and Lightroom as well as Adobe Premier Pro. I used the software to manipulate a series of large image and video files. I found that the P920 was indeed faster than the old Z620 workstation we’d updated, but not vastly so. A faster Xeon would have sped things up, as would more memory. What’s important to know about using workstations with most applications is that most applications don’t use more than one processor core to perform much of the work, so having 12 cores doesn’t help as much as you might think. Adobe’s Premier Pro, for example, makes more use of multiple cores, so you would see a performance improvement over another system with a processor with fewer cores. But for most uses, the best performance lies with having the fastest processor, provided you have enough memory and a storage subsystem with sufficient performance. But if you need the ability to leverage several processor cores, or you need a lot of GPU horsepower, then a high-end workstation such as the P920 is a good bet. Lenovo certainly produced a computer that will provide the computing horsepower you need, and while it’s expensive, you get a lot for your money. Even better, this machine will last far longer than your mass-market desktop computer because it can be upgraded
Yea exactly - we have 9 different zones of hertz levels in the nightclubs and bars we install. Most mass produced tv's have paper tweeters and mids - literally paper cones.
Not sure, from what I read it holds like 12 hard drives, it's built like a mini server. I'll only have 3 hard drives in it. I keep the tranny porn segregated. I run a RAID system on the other two HD's.
The river access is so nice on the 5. It also has utilities set up so friends can camp in their RVs. The 70 will require a bunch of work.
I have a venue running 22 4k TVs, an LED wall matrix, security cameras, point of sale, and customer accessible wifi on a less complex system than that. You're literally watching all the porn.
Anyone have reasonably priced workout clothing that they like? I don't care how name brand it is. Preferably not really slim fit, hence why I am working out.
I just like Nike Pro shirts and I wear some Nike shorts that I think were for soccer from like 6 years ago.
computer nerds: we're buying new computers for the office. We bought some cheap PCs a few years ago and they are so damn slow they drive everyone crazy. I just started bringing my 2016 macbook air from home to the office. For whatever reason it is 10000x faster than these POS PCs. What specs would you be looking for in order to have fast computers at work? We only use them for word, the internet, etc. We have cloud based software and use google drive to access files. Thanks!
If you only really use them for MS Word and the internet, I'd go with this Lenovo P920 Workstation Delivers Plenty of Power for Its High Price REVIEW: From the front the P920 Workstation looks a lot like a standard tower PC configuration.

Not reasonably priced, but Lulu Lemon is by far the best I’ve worn. I usually get 1-2 shirts/year for Xmas or whatever and I can’t recommend enough.
It was a joke from a prior post on this page. I don't actually recommend he purchase a $5,000 computer for making word documents and surfing the internet.
