@freemo Dell and HP have systems that can monitor for hardware failures, temperature changes (not such a big deal, considering my apartment's already freaking cold anyways), and stuff like RAID rebuilds if needed. For instance, my current little server, he's adorable, but the only way I could get any insight into his RAID degradation (he has some, considering he's got two eight-year-old hard drives inside him), is through the actual BIOS interface, which would require a technical sighty to read for me. Hence why that sort of thing matters more so than it might for others. Those are actually coming from the board itself.

@theoutrider Oh dear. Well then. That's definitely a good piece of sound advice, considering from whom it's coming.

@cambridgeport90 I've read some excerpts which were grim, my partner has read the entire thing and repeatedly woke me up in the middle of the night going "AAARGH" at it
@Gargron I didn't even know it closed?

@theoutrider Who told you the book was awful? LOL
@freemo I'm as hopelessly addicted to #Dell as can be. I won't buy anything else if I can avoid it LOL. Then again, I'm used to how those things work. I'm sort of in the enterprise/monitoring mindset, so how does one monitor a custom build for hardware failure? For Dell it's called OpenManage, and for HP, it's called iLO. Do most of the custom build manufacturers have similar sensors built in?

@theoutrider I still need to read the book. How was the movie?

@freemo @Surasanji I don't know when this is happening, but this is sort of related. I'm actually thinking of getting myself Adele precision 3630 workstation. Probably next year, but the funny thing is, even though Dell doesn't advertise it. You can actually game using one of those things. I'm unfortunately limited as to which games I can play, but that's something totally different.
@arush I knew there was one reason why I say with the American council for the blind. Even then, my position seems to be foundering under me anyways, but that's in light of a whole nother set of issues. I can tell you about those if you're interested. but you think that would be their number one concern, wouldn't you?
