As already said, a full height graphics card won't fit in a SFF case. You would need a MT case. I have more experience with the Optiplex line. The series 4 Optiply (3010, 3020, 7010, 7020, 9010, 9020) all use an ATX power supply-but you need a 24 pin to 8 pin adaptor for the motherboard; the...

Awesome! I finally got to the point I have enough cameras I can shuffle some crappy ones to low priority areas and was thinking of getting a PTZ; well timed.

At my office, I'm the closest thing to IT support that we have. I've worked thru upgrading our 6 really, really old Dell Optiplexs (Optiplexi? Optiplexes? Optipli?) to just old Dell Optiplexs so I'm comfortable with them and their quirks so when I started looking at cameras and saw the...

I've been using the Dell OS Recovery tool on my systems. So far, it has always resulted in a clean install without any bloatware. Found the same thing for a Lenovo Thinkcentre I recently bought as well.

This is how I understand it as well. I was looking for some software and found the digital key download for about 10% of the retail price. When I went looking for reviews, I found lots of "it worked fine for a while and then the key was invalid" responses. I use the crap out of Dell's OS...

The OneAC was kicking around our office for years, nobody knew the history. I was tasked with clean up one week and it came home instead of going in the dumpster. The APC was listed on Facebook, I've been stalking cheap computer parts so I guess they decided it was close enough.

I've already got a OneAc ON1300. Its an antique (I can have it send messages to my pager) but it's straight up bulletproof. More capacity than I need, more run time than I need. But an APC SmartUPS2200 popped up for sale locally. Yeah, wwaayy more capacity and run time than I need. I figured...

Watching the dark footsteps to the left, the fluid is coming from the piece being carried, not the forklift. You can make out the hydraulic reservoir when they get it picked back up (and motor when they turn the corner), so they probably just just broke a fitting. I'd bet a car lift as well...

I've only had one split, but imagine the pressure required to split that seal. Imagine the force those fumes escape with. Inside a shed or garage with battery chargers, light fixtures, and other assorted sources of ignition. You can absolutely bet that whatever asshat passed these pieces of...

The news stories say the clerk saw them pouring gas on the car before the explosion. Is this so common that it didn't set off the clerk's "call the cops right now alarm"? From a brilliant comedian. "I used to work at a gas station. It was an interesting job; the guy that worked there with me...

They plow thru the roof clearance sign at the beginning of the video, looks to just be hanging on chains so it swings out of the way.

Invite these good dogos over for a play date. If a rat springs a trap and survives, they will avoid that location. I've had to resort to feeding the rats (leaving the trap unset) for a couple of weeks and then setting it to get some of the stubborn ones. Then there's the dumb ones that I've...

These guys are familiar with the area, there's been some planning. The truck was probably stolen very shortly before the robbery and with the prices trucks are at, the truck alone could be 80K of the robbery.

^This is my answer. POE is pretty low voltage to begin with and when you start stretching it out, you could run into a voltage drop issue.

That puppy is going to be no trouble at all. He will not eat your shoes, or your walls, or your pillow (while your are sleeping on it), or the TV remote....
