I've tried, honest...
Oh nonono. A Commodore PET.
No, not for many a decade. And...MIDI ports? What be they, then?We will help you.
Ohhhhhh! Do you still have it?
The reason I asked whether you had an ST was because of their popularity across Europe amongst musicians due to their affordability and built-in MIDI ports.
Is it the adapter or is the SSD double sided and thus too thick?
Doesn't close even without the SSD mounted, so the adapter is the problem. And I don't see how the Sintech, used by others here, is any different.
Well, that is weird. I've had couple of those adapters and thin one sided SSDs and no problems closing them. But, cannot remember what brand the adapters were. Probably no name chinese stuff.
The ssd that came with a chinese MBA upgrade kit is 2.00 mm at the thickest point. Don't remember where the adapter is right now so cannot check its dimensions.
That sounds like fun. I’m thinking about taking my trusty haswell box out of its aging fishtank and sticking it in one of these Fractal designs.
Aha, this is also a trusty Haswell, a 4790 in an Asus CS-B in a white Bitfenix Prodigy M case. Massively overpowered for anything I do, but hey, toys, right?
. Funny thing - any earlier builds couldn't even boot from USB . Looking around. (This post made from WebPositive browser ).
If I'd had a use for a file server, it would still be here!What, you sold off a perfect Snow Leopard -file server?!
Oh, that's really nice!Or a perfect minimalistic desktop.
Remember, I'm one of those extreme oddballs who turns everything off, every night! Even my phone. If the house is drawing more than 50W at night (fridge/freezer excepted), I've forgotten something!
If you want ultimate overkill, run a non-Retina 27inch iMac as a file server while using its LCD with another machine via Target Display Mode.Yeah, as a file server its really a bit of overkill...
Why exactly that one?
We have 3 of those (all Mini Servers from factory). Very nice machines. One is wifes main home computer, one is our media server and one takes backups. The wife's was the most expensive (~250€) 4 years back when we upgraded from her 2014 to the 2012. Then the two were like 100-130€ each about 2 years ago. The last one came with 16GB RAM and 2 SSDs for 130€.
IMHO its a great machine: i7 4 core processors, upgradeable RAM, 2 SATA -drive slots (servers have 2 drives and cabling stock), thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire 800, SD card reader, 1000Base-T etc.
Wow, I didn't even know that is possible?!
I thought its a dummy display when its used as TDM?
It's essentially the last one where you can mess with the RAM and storage. The later ones have soldered RAM of either 4 or 8 GB, 16 to special order.Why exactly that one?
Yup — the 2011 Server has all that too minus USB 3.0 if you can find it for much less.
No, the iMac is still fully running when in TDM.Wow, I didn't even know that is possible?!
The 2018 is also good (up to six cores, up to 64 GB RAM, two Thunderbolt 3 controllers) if you don’t mind the storage being soldered and it having a T2 chip.
This is the slowest Intel Mac.
