Any have experience with the Lg g3? Thinking of getting a 65" tomorrow.

Should be a decent upgrade of my older b7
Would be curious to hear your thoughts if you do. While MLA gives higher peak brightness, overall I haven't been able to convince myself to replace my B7.

I got pissed/bummed at the price to create a small cluster

Just took delivery of 5x :

4 port 2.5.jpg

for a Proxmox cluster:

Missing from the pic:

-Fifth tiny thinkstation with Proxmox Backup Server installed
-2nd 8port Mokerlink, both are connected by DAC @10g to a Fortiswitch 1024D
-Qnap NAS (16TB usable RAID10 pool) with a 2 port 2.5g NIC for iSCSI host storage but intended for ZFS backup storage

This cluster has Coffee Lake i7's 6C/12T for 48 cores, high endurance NVMe SSD's (2 per node) and 64GB RAM in each node. It should be fully operational next week.

Was looking for some high endurance 1TB drives a few days ago on fleabay and these showed up in my browsing. All 4 delivered to my door for ~$200 total. Couldn't stop my fingers from pressing that unholy damn Buy it now button.

Damn.... $50 / 2TB drive? That's a solid deal assuming you get what they're advertising and it's not just the box..... ;)
