    Exterior Cat6 - Never realized it was so hard to find actual "real" outdoor cable

    Hello? Is anyone listening? If you want indoor/outdoor, use a CMR/CMX cable like this. http://ce.superioressex.com/uploadedFiles/Docs/PDF/Catalogs/Communications/CAT6-Outdoor.pdf http://ce.superioressex.com/uploadedFiles/Docs/PDF/Catalogs/Communications/CAT5e-Outdoor.pdf

    Exterior Cat6 - Never realized it was so hard to find actual "real" outdoor cable

    Plenty of outdoor Cat6 options are available. I never understood the logic of trying to save $20 a box of cable, only to realize the costs of troubleshooting and re-pulling bad lines. Here's a few options. These should cost you less than $300 a box. Notice you can find legit data sheets and...

    Calculating UPS Run Time?

    Yeah, Efficiency is not calculated into any of those things. I know APC and MinuteMan had pretty good calculator tools. I'm guessing CyberPower does too. Sometimes you can find some common electronics already in their drop downs / selections.

    Xeon vs i7 Haswell

    I have a 1231v3 in one of my machines, I figured I'd be using a dedicated gpu anyways on this one so why pay $100 more for the i7? It's basically the same.

    Sunday Attic Party -- Loving Life

    I used to sell these for $80 a set. Total bummer when you drop one in a wall cavity. Harbor Freights are $10-15. Get's the job done and doesn't ruin your day when you lose a couple or leave them behind.

    My ISP's marketing department has hit a new low

    Google Fiber went down for 2 hours the other day and everyone around here was losing their mind. Everyone has already forgotten about Comcast and Time Warner apparently. Google even issued a 2 day credit proactively to everyone. My Comcast issues would last for days and weeks. Google fiber has...
