More in the league of Electron Microscope.
Nice. Envy!
Business system is AMD 8150 4.3 ghz tops. And does a fine job heating the house while it's at it.

The A/V system (da lil guy)
AMD 6400 95W @ 3.6 ghz.
Asus M5A88-V-Evo
8 gig main @ 1600
120 Gig SSD for Res/App/paging/Video-Audio buffer
M-Audio 2496
All fans, Magnetic Barometric.
And, don't laugh, ASUS 8400 Silent for video. Yup Geforce 8400
1080p. No problem.

By use of various A/V formats it has taken on the job of VCR,DVD and CD decks.
Windows Media Player + K-Lite = Ya can deal with anything.
Much Vinyl has been preserved, still, NOTHING sounds like the real thing.

Room cooling is a problem as it shares space with 3 dual mono power amps.

That poster Aerows Feb 2014 #15

Yeah. I dont see him (the blogger) making any claims about the traceroute other than that they Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #20

Definitely worth keeping a watch on but this guy doesnt know what he is talking about. Egnever Feb 2014 #18

What is he claiming re the traceroute? Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #22

And isn't even doing anything to diagnose suppression Aerows Feb 2014 #26

We use several thousand in the 192.168 RFC 1918 Paulie Feb 2014 #57
