Let's face it... most portable monitors are there to provide more screen real-estate, but skimp on all other features to save cost. The Intehill 17" 240Hz not only breaks that norm, but has a feature list most OEM Laptop makers could only dream of.

There's one feature I hugely enjoy having in my rack, and that's a rackmount monitor and console. As great as a lot of remote management tools, IPMI, RDP and SSH can be, sometimes, there's just no replacing a keyboard and monitor directly connected to a server. So, I upgraded the console in my rack with the HP TFT7600 Rackmount Console... but wa...

Every good server farm needs a good network, and my network has been neglected for far too long. It's time to start organizing all of my devices on the logical side of things, assign IP addresses and routes that make sense, and get rid of the '192.168.1.X' IP space for good.

Why are there no single-slot GPUs anymore? Sure, on the high end, the current trend is 'bigger is better' with 3-Slot (or more) graphics cards dominating the market. But when it comes to small form factor PCs, we've been left to our own devices.
That's likely not a good thing...
