I wouldn't advise doing this in your car, the battery isn't designed to cope with that much draw. There is some large battery types that can do similar things but unless you want your parents car battery to die I wouldn't risk it!

Fairly good choice there, can't really go wrong!

Yes and no. Like Revsilverspine mentions you need a Blade Chassis to run this server. To put it simply; There is no "power port" it's like a server that slots into a bigger server. A bit like a graphics card slides into a PC. Unless you have a blade enclosure/chassis the thing won't run. $30 is alright for some memorabilia but blades are really long and highly inconvenient to use in a home environment even if you did have the chassis.

I have heard Vir Mach are relatively good. I'm pretty sure but may be wrong that their nodes are 1Gbps fair-share though. Most hosts tend to put a 10Gbps pipe per node just to avoid any problems but you should still achieve a good speed. Great price too.

Good guide, fairly simple for some newbies! Fairly simple to understand too. Well done!

A lot of cinema's run at-least 4K I've not seen any running anything less than, obviously because of the pixel density and the large screen it would be fairly poor quality but cinema's are years ahead with things like this ;p

I usually use a rule of thumb, that there should be atleast an exhaust fan on the case - I wouldn't rely on a PSU/GPU to push any air out your case they just cool themselves really. I would make sure you have an intake fan and an exhaust to make sure it doesn't get too toasty with a Gaming PC.

Can't trust any politician nowadays most are for themselves and have their own agendas regardless of what they all say on these political rallies!

Love a bit of HTML5, Much more efficient than flash so that's fantastic!

Difficult one, I would definitely surround it in foam etc not too sure about whether to put something in the inside; just incase it leaks in your case? UPS tend to be quite good, got a package from San Jose last week (it travelled to the UK stopped about 8 times after 4 plane trips) can't doubt the fact everything is un-damaged and looks great still but it's unfortunately not with liquid.

Indeed, everything was good back in the day until all these countries mess with one another aggh!

Just because it's a technical based forum it doesn't mean that everything has to be technical related as people have problems with other things like cars etc which others may have answers for

I like the amount of people saying Apple but in my own personal opinion so great quality items. If I was honest it would have to be HP for the likes of laptops which simply don't last when my MacBooks last 5+ years no problem. I get free replacement chargers when they break whereas Other competitors fail to do this. I dont hate any company though there are some better than others and some companies that need to learn more from the rest

A lot. You wouldn't believe the sheer amount of cables like Micro USB's / HDMI's etc it's insane. My Apple Watch, iPad/TV etc are probably my most expensive items that get used the least I just either use a laptop instead cause it's easier or don't have time to use the likes of the TV's

It comes down as mentioned earlier whatever you're most comfortable with. My work focus on Windows Server, most of them have no idea about Unix / Linux and I have to admit I am not the best Linux Sysadmin but I can work my way around it so they tend to ask myself for some help on adhoc request. It also depends on the environment, most of our stuff runs on Windows and all the backup software runs on Windows, we can also do certain things quicker using Windows and the fact it runs on an AD environment certifies a need for a majority of Windows for LDAP capabilities. I like both, Windows is a bit easier to use in terms of the GUI but I am not overly keen on Windows 2012 over Windows 2008. But I like both, for me it really just depends on the use. I tend to focus Linux servers on web servers and mail/proxies whereas Windows for things like SQL which a GUI is much more helpful for.
