Ghetto but hey......

No client computers are shown and the left handed mouse is because i was in an accident last week & temp one handed.

still ironically have one of my most powerful machines as my desktop

this is why my mouse has a lefty slot:

other "real work" pics:

^^^ upgrading primary RAID cards (that means I'm upgrading the spinny drive you might be working on as you view my pics.)

^^^ pos box that came from ebay. not in good enough condition to deliver to client.

^^^ was running short. also ebay crap that needs returning but i had to show how exciting my life is...

^^^^

thats where some of the lame burn-in & magic is done. Density has increased & power consumption has decreased... down to $400/month from ~$450 in electric utilities.

Is that a Nanex feed on the left monitor? What are you feeding it into NO standard software I know of accepts it (except TradeLink).

Yes that is a NxCore feed - good eye!

Its on a VM right now & setup as a development/testing rig while i finish the burn-in & load testing on their 10TB array for tick data.

10TB for less than $2k inside a workstation chassis is pretty badass... especially filling it up with data

NxUser. Do you get the high precision clock mode in a VM? WHen I did VM for Nx it always complained and the clock jumped - could be the AMD processors I used there.

What do you feed Nx into? Which software is receiving it?

sorry that picture was legit (hand in cast) so slow & poor typing.

the VM is essentially to pull historical data. we have a 25ms precision on "js" tapes if that makes any sense.

The end result will be a 10TB box running a SSD for OS so the RAID array stays pretty isolated. we chose Windows 2008 Enterprise R2 over a Linux/Ubuntu+WINE solution.

When you say "precision clock mode" what exactly do you mean? We are not doing any multicast so all single point & latency can be delayed.

Ah, historical data - me too, pulling another tape, though.

The client turns into precision mode after some time when the closk on the machine is stable and then keeps the machine clock in sync with a couple of ms to the nanex clock It can give you a very stable clock + a good indication of network jitter with that.

Try looking at an adapted 6805q controller if that raid turns too slow for you - that thing can use up to 4 SSD as read AND write cache and has some pretty good logic attached to determine what to cache. Can make a HUGH difference in performance.

Why not dump exhaust heat outdoors?

Wisdom from a horticulturist.....

Or small indoor A/C unit vented outside. Thats what I have to do.
