xfxftumbleweed: i find venue av people repeatedly become surprised, common comments like "huh, this never works as well as this, what are these things!?"00:23
xfxfin reality a usual video matrix unit with the EDID locked down does the same, but they're always grossly misconfigured with other crap between it and the presenter laptop00:24

Kamilionoh, we can ship *those*, lol03:44
Kamilionbut we have a lot of stuff here at the warehouse that we don't list on ebay03:44

Kamilionyou know WEEE?03:44

KamilionIntel/AMD CPUs, Ram sticks, any harddisk that isn't special-order and has vendor's name/logo on the label, ODM motherboards from Tyan and Supermicro, ODM chassis...03:47
Kamilionif it's got their name on it, we shred it.03:48
Kamilionor use it inhouse until it dies then shred it. :303:48
Kamilionwe also deal with all the compliance paperwork and certificates of destruction, ETC03:49

Kamilionand some of it's quite insidiously secured, too!03:49
Kamilioncustom firmwares, secured bootloaders, TPM modules and partial disk encryption...03:50
Kamilionand I get to be the guy that figured out how to break all that and get, say, supermicro's firmware back on it.03:50

Kamilionuhhh, think we've got some 40ish bay 4 or 5U supermicros05:09
Kamilionsomething like 32 in the front and another 8 in the back05:10
Kamilionat least one of them has no motherboard and has a bare AST2400 BMC by itself, in place of an ATX mobo.05:10
KamilionWe've got a lot of weird one-off stuff that comes out of prototyping labs; hacked up cases, preproduction units, but mostly finished goods inventory05:11
Kamiliononly the FGI stuff really makes it to our limited ebay auctionspace05:12
Kamilionthe rest is "you'll only know if you stop by or talk to Kamilion on IRC" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯05:12
mithroI just care about JBOD type thing - don't know why anyone would trust their data to hardware raid....05:14
Kamilionsame. Most of the 2Us we have are LSI SAS2008. No RAID, just JBOD.05:21

Kamilionthese run quite fine with a single C32 opteron, no need to fill both sockets.05:22
Kamilionit's got a pair of hexcores that come with it though.05:22
KamilionWe rarely get ram, the jerks pull it before palletting it up and hucking it our way, and we've been yelling at the chain back that it's unacceptable to receive incomplete machines05:23
Kamilionrather; "if you ship us stuff we can't test; you get the scrap prices, not the trade in prices."05:24
Kamilioncouple 2GB sticks of ECC DDR3, and btrfs is how I like 'em, even though they have them listed as freenas machines (and it includes a USB stick for freenas to boot from)05:25
Kamilionthey weren't moving at all before we added "includes freenas!" to the listing... heh.05:25
Kamilionthey're also really good ceph OSD machines.05:26
Kamilionhttp://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/g~EAAOSwZJlXM5lY/s-l1600.jpg  The backplane directconnects to the motherboard. Only cable in there's the ATX feed and the fans05:27
Kamilionand I had 'em save all the usable backplanes from machines we've scrapped (some of them were produced without the second CPU socket populated05:29
Kamilionwe've got nearly a pallet of something like six hundred and eighty spare power supplies05:29
Kamilionlot of other scrap boards and stuff, some have FPGAs and could be desoldered and reballed05:30

CarlFK[m]Kamilion: is your store open to the public?  or really can  I come over and look at all the stuff?17:24
KamilionSure, biz hours are 9am to 4:30pm, there's a camera in the lobby and someone should notice you after a few minutes17:30
KamilionI'd suggest coming somewhere between 11am and 3pm, the owner's around during that time and he's normally happy to handshake and show around17:31
Kamilionsales guy's usually off around 1pm for a half hour17:31
Kamilionwe do accept walk-in sales; although we are not 'open to the public'17:32
Kamilioncan't just wander in our warehouse, and we don't have any cash registers ;)17:33
Kamilionthey'll print off an invoice upstairs and can accept cash and major cards17:33
Kamilionthere's also a doorbell just outside the front door; ring it two or three times and let yourself into the lobby if the front door's open. The two doors leading further in are pinpad access controlled.17:35
Kamilionescort only past that point, safety and such17:35
CarlFK[m]neat - I'll ping you a few hours ahead of time.17:36
* Kamilion nods17:36
CarlFK[m]do you want a twinpact vga/firewire thing?17:36
CarlFK[m]hmm, how many lbs of firewire stuff can I drop on the floor?17:36
KamilionI'm low on funds this month after ordering a bunch of stuff from itead last month.17:37
CarlFK[m]also 2x2 vga active video matrix boxes.17:37
KamilionAnything you wanna get rid of, we'll certainly take; and possiby if it's got some worth to it, the owner may elect to give you scrap prices for some stuff...?17:37
Kamilionotherwise, there's a lot of other places here in the bay area that will charge you for disposal of electronics (especally non RoHS stuff)17:38
Kamilionwe've got stacks of PS/2+VGA KVMs that nobody wants these days17:39
CarlFK[m]meh, hardly worth me packing it for 'that' - I was wondering if you were personally interested in it for some odd reason17:39
Kamilionoh, I'm definitely personally interested in videocap gear17:39
KamilionI'm just broke right now *laughs*17:39

Kamilionwould be a dickmove to resell a gift between hackers ^_^17:41
Kamilionlikewise, I've got a stock of esoterics; you're welcome to walk away with one or two if you can find a meaningful use17:42

Kamilioni got them to use with the pi noir 5mpix camera modules -- they have the 8mpix models now, and it'll still work.17:45
Kamilion<.< Never did end up ordering the camera modules themselves though... heh.17:46
Kamilionwork ended up buying a full set of Hikvision cameras, and I just reflashed 'em to work with a swann branded DVR.17:46
Kamilionnice me-tal enclosures, power over ethernet...17:49

* CarlFK[m] adds vga over cat5 gizmo 19:34
CarlFK[m]how are you on 1' and 3' vga cables?19:35
Kamilionlow. Got maybe five or six 6' cables... buncha DVI, no HDMI outside of my personal stash.19:38
Kamilionwe mostly rely on IPMI remote iKVM anyway, so it hasn't been a big deal. Short cables are easy to store though.19:38
