    Infiltrator reacted to Whiro in Ryzen 2700 or 1700?   
    No, there is not such a reason, specially when you get that cpu for free.

    @LinusTech, please, for the love of Dawkins, put that steel lathe/cutter to good use & capitalise on @AlexTheGreatish's wizardry to create a proper case for this frankensteinian monster. You could make it the centre-piece in your LAN centre for which the displays and peripherals could surround it.

    They should post the full parts list (PC Part Picker maybe? - then some random other person could try this... or not) even though it isn't done yet.

    Infiltrator got a reaction from Schyken in elementaryOS Challenge! What do you all think?   
    I absolutely loved elementary. My only issue with it was that it doesn't support my older pc's - which is my reason for using Linux in the first place - to make old hardware like new again.

    Infiltrator reacted to Razor Blade in Linux that I can run on my Sun Ultra20   
    Here are a few you could check out...
    Puppy Linux (http://puppylinux.com/) Small size (300MB or less) multiple distros, pick your favorite! Lubuntu (https://lubuntu.net/) Light weight debian distro Ubuntu MATE (https://ubuntu-mate.org/) Basically Ubuntu with a MATE desktop

    Infiltrator reacted to Razor Blade in So you want to buy a Dell R710?   
    Gee you think??? No I did not research before I bought it. It took you this long to figure that out? While I respect that you have an opinion, I do not appreciate you trying to dump all over me with it.
     
    The fans are actually not that loud.  I have tried to find a source for your claim of motherboard quality issues but came up empty. iDrac on this is more than adequate for my purpose. I find it hilarious you complain about the drive mounts when your R910 has the same caddy design. Actually you're wrong, you can have up to 24GB of 1 or 2 GB sticks of UDIMM but I don't know why someone would want to run UDIMM RAM in server this old anyway. Not like you'll see that much of a performance boost to justify it. It's actually harder to find those early power supplies than you think. Maybe they've all died. I've found a whole 1 topic on the internet mentioning a fan sensor problem. It's obvious you can't read because I've admitted that I did not know going into the project what I was doing. I also said I would not have bothered if I had a do over. Since you have nothing of value to add to this thread, if you'd be so kind as to kick rocks it would be much appreciated.

    And I've already acknowledged that and apologized for my mistake.

    You could always just refuse the package when it's delivered. 
    Or if you have the tracking number, contact the shipper and tell them to return it right away.


    Or you can keep it. Either way, Amazon doesn't care. Just be aware that they might not be as nice next time.

    Don't worry too much. I did too. And based on the response of most people in the thread - basically everyone except only a few people missed it.

    That's a good point - it looks like rather than processing the order as a cancellation, they processed it as a refund with no return instead.
     
    That's a critical difference. That means that Amazon knows that they sent you the item, and they don't care. They allowed you to keep it. Had the words "there's no need to return your item" not been there, this would be different.

    I agree with @Lady Fitzgerald but on the other hand it clearly says you don't need to send it back. So don't sweat it.

    I'm really disappointed in you guys. Just keeping the item without paying for it would be morally wrong and probably illegal.
     
    @ OP The correct thing to do would be to contact Amazon, tell them what happened, and let them decide what to do. They may or may not let you keep it for free but the decision must be Amazon's, not yours.
