In today's article in ZDNet they report high-end SSD's use up to twice as much current as comparable HDDs - with an accompanying significant increase in operating temperatures. FYI http://www.zdnet.com/power-hungry-ssds-hotter-than-disks-7000032021/?s_cid=e539&ttag=e539&ftag=TRE17cfd61 I fix...

I was suggesting the list come from you of what you'd like me to look out for. The only thing they had today was a couple of dozen blade servers (without any manufacturer, etc. markings!) for $30 each and a few 6' rack cabinets with mounting hrdware for the blades for $10 each.

Does anyone know of a program that prints out the settings for BIOS - no changing, read only? Actually, most BIOS locked units are still pretty useful computers since you really don't need to change settings in BIOS that often - if at all. For example, the WIN 7/Accessories/System Tools/System Infor...
