Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Mine are all server grade, Sanyo, Fujikura, Nidec... fairly loud, but will last forever.

    I'm very sensitive to white noise so I'd rather have a 5 to 10 year service quiet fan. But I see the appeal. Perhaps setting the machine in a cabinet somewhere and use a fanless thin client at the desk. But that's $$$$.

    Yeah, it's not for everyone, I know. But it doesn't bother me and I can rest assured that all fans are working all the time, so it's a good deal for me.

    You could get a fiber optic display/HDMI cable, a fiber optic USB cable, and the USB hub, then just move the desktop tower into another room and run the cables through the walls or ceilings to your display setup. Might only be $100 or so cheaper than then a used business thin client, but at least you could still do something 4K 120Hz HDR 12bit over some distance without compromise. E.g:
