Props to Linus, he seemed very prepared for this, bring his arsenal of tools to test and knows what questions to ask within a short time vis-a-vis other journalist just talking about the specs and showing B-roll. But of course, this is not new to Linus, he seemed really excited for this product. Let's just hope it's not a paper launch. 

Whole rack is running CAT6 now, and I still plan a follow up video showing the roles that all the machines fulfill when we do our "8K workflow" video.
 
But that won't come until after Petabyte Project gets deployed in a couple weeks.

I think its the Zenwatch from Asus but I'm not certain.

Gotta be linux then for control. And you can always emulate windows through the environment if you need to run windows specific applications.

In today's world of computing, both PC and mobile processors runs on different instruction sets. On PC's side, you have AMD, where is uses x86 and on moble there is ARM, which uses RISC. Both of them are not able to communicate one another, that is until now, as major cpu makers from both the PC and mobile side such as AMD, IBM, Qualcomm, ARM, and others have joined together to create a single interconnect called CCIX. CCIX which stands for Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators, allows for both PC and mobile cpus with different instruction sets, to be able to communicated with each other, while sharing main memory. If they can put everything together and pull this off, then the benefits of this would be huge, as it would truly provide a plug and play environment, where any CPU can be used, be it a AMD CPU or ARM SoC. Currently it's being targeted at datacenters, and not too much info is there about CCIX. If everything works out for these CPU makers, then we might see something in 2020.

Would also recommend pfsense if you are a bit more of a software tinkerer and want more control of your gear. Also helps if you have an old/underpowered computer lying around. There are a lot of good videos on youtube that you can watch to understand the complex stuff. If you don't want to get into pfsense I would go with the ubiquiti mentioned in a different comment.

Please for the love of god get a better psu 

Maybe put some more money into your PSU? If you want to reduce power costs a more efficient PSU would help a lot. Maybe cut the Case to a Silverstone Sugo SG13 and spend the remainder on your PSU.
Edit: Woops SG13 is Mini ITX, maybe have a look for a cheaper mATX case then.

Make sure you buy some of those audiophile ethernet cables. 

Not exactly. Although, I wouldn't recommend a VS unit. 
 
The average power draw of a NAS will be like 50-100w depending on the specific hardware. So... 100w * 24 hrs/day * 365 days/year * $.13/kwh / 1000hrs = $114 (assuming 100% efficiency). Now divide by .85 to figure out the cost of running an 80+ bronze unit and then divide by .90 to determine the cost of an 80+ gold unit (of course these will be rough estimates), and you would see that an 80+gold unit would save you about $7/year. 
 
@MigitI would go with an i3 (don't bother with the lower power variants, at idle -- which is what the system will be at 95% of the time it won't matter) instead as it's more power efficient (and can handle 3-4 1080p transcoded streams). You don't need an SSD, and many NAS OS's run just fine off a USB stick. Also, while the Node 804 has support for 10 drives, actually managing to fit and wire them all is VERY difficult.
 
I'd do something like this, and get an SSD/cheap HDD if you're going to run windows, or just use a USB if you're going to run something like FreeNAS.

okay

Why people keep intrusively spaming every ultrawide thread with propositions of 16:9 144 Hz monitors? Can't you read properly or what?
 
Back to thread, other non-curved 3440x1440 ultrawides are AOC U3477PQU, Philips BDM3470UP, iiyama ProLite XUB3490WQSU-B1 and LG 34UM95. And also this one mentioned in my first post, 34UM88C-P , the best option from those mentioned here since it has 10 bit support and FreeSync and it is a part of the newest LG ultrawide lineup and those monitors are noticeably improved over previous models.

noice
we have new units now:
1 colton = 6 boxes of glowsticks
1 linus = 1 giant UPS

For that price, I'd say Shure SE215. The blue ones if you like a bit more bass since the regular 215 are a tad mid-heavy. There's plenty of IOS compatible cables you can get for them, too.

Sorry bud, I'm not taking that suggestion. The Antec one is way better.

Yeah I would go for the i5 if you are just intending on gaming. it should be just fine for basically every game and has a much higher clock than a Xeon, ofc if you were planning on doing content creation I would go for the xeon.

Very nice, cool to see stuff like this working for people with bad connections/ISP's.

After seeing Linus mention Ubiquiti on the latest WAN show, and their discussion about people getting fast connections to remote places, I thought I would share a project log with you guys to show you how I got a fibre optic connection from the nearest village to my farm 500m away.
 
When I moved to my farm back in June, I called the ISP and was told I could get "up to" 1mbit broadband. Having moved from a town house which had been blessed with 150mbit for a few years, this was something I could not settle for. I discovered that the nearest village was served by Virgin Media's fibre optic and figured there must be a way to get this service to my farm. Obviously the first thing I did was contact Virgin Media to get a quote to put in a line. After some negotiation, the cheapest they could offer me was £7,000; and that was if I dug the trench myself.
 
Then I came across Ubiquiti. After a good discussion on another forum, I put together a plan and 5 weeks later I went from having 1mbit broadband to what is effectively a 200/15 FTTH connection.
 
The plan basically consisted of me gaining permission from my nearest neighbour to mount a Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC along with a external cabinet, on his wall and then "beaming" the connection over to my farm.
 
I hope you find my project interesting and maybe even inspiring and if there is anything you want to ask me, I'll be happy to answer.

So this is where it all begins. Packed inside a compact, weatherproof box is all the equipment need to give me a connection. Here we can see a dual socket power point, powering the fibre modem itself as well as a power over ethernet (POE) converter used for powering the Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5ac. Its a tight fit but I wanted to get the smallest possible box to reduce the visual impact on the neighbours wall. The coax connection comes through the bottom of the box into the modem, from the modem a cat5e runs into the POE converter and finally another ethernet runs from the POE up to the Ubiquiti wireless transmitting hub.     This is a view of the whole setup on the neighbours house. As you can see, the coax comes out of the ground after running along the property boundary from the road. They actually ran a new cable from the cab for me, it doesn't split off the existing connection. The upper cable coming from the Sky dish is the power cable which connects in the neighbours loft through a fused box. The cable running up the middle is the ethernet running to the white Ubiquiti transmitting hub.     This is a view from the neighbours house to the receiving hub. The dish is mounted on the telegraph pole which can be seen in the middle of the photo, just to the left of the woodland. The total distance between the two hubs is around 450m.     A picture from the halfway point between the two hubs showing both hubs.     And here is a picture from the receiving pole, back to the neighbours house.         This picture shows the connection between the receiving hub to the house itself. The total length of cat5e used was about 73m. The distance to the house from the pole is about 60m with a further 13m running around the house to the rear office. The cable is supported by a length of steel cable which is taught between the pole and the house. I then simply cable tied the ethernet to the steel cable. There is about 1m of excess at the pole end in case I need to make repairs.       Here you can see the cable running around the outside of the house and finally through the wall and into the office.     And finally the office where the connection is received.       As mentioned before, the superhub is in modem mode with the two Ubiquiti wireless hubs set into bridge; so they are essentially (and as far as any receiving equipment are concerned) a really long cable. After passing though another POE converter, the connection is received by a Asus RT-N66U router. The main desktop is connected via ethernet, with other devices making use of the wireless.   Here is a couple of printscreens of the Ubiquiti hub interface. There is a bit of tweaking to do hear and there but ultimately it is working as it should. Not bad considering I only lined up the dishes by eye. The channel width 40mhz. The extremely low noise levels in the rural area are probably helping things. I am not all too clued up on a lot of this sort of stuff so any tweaks will be carried out with the help of a mate who is a network engineer.    As you can see there is a <1ms ping between the two devices with a total throughput of ~300mbit.         The connection has been live for several months now and I've not had a single blip. I am a happy man

Noctua had never told me this but I suspect their fans use static pressure optimized designs because there aren't many performance critical situations where you don't need high static pressure.
Restrictive grills, hard drive cages, heatsink, radiators, small cases jam packed with components - these things all benefit from higher static pressure and are also applicatiosn where a better fan can have a noticeable impact on cooling performance.
A metal wire fan grill at the back or top of the case that just needs to move some air around is pretty much the only place where static pressure actually wouldn't matter, but a couple CFM less or more also wouldn't matter.
Imo calling a fan "airflow optimized" is about like saying "it's good to put in spots where performance frankly doesn't matter anyway".
So that's why LTT edition fans were chosen based on their excellent static pressure performance. A high static pressure fan will perform good enough in every situation whereas a high airflow fan will be marginally better where it doesn't matter and get crapped on where it does.
Better versatility this way.

I think you meant train
