I heard a rumor, I heard a rumor that Silverstone's product development team gets compensated by the sheer number of SKUs that they output.
How do they have the manufacturing for that? Do they outsource everything or do they do it in-house?
I think they do small batches and I think they do a lot of it in-house because they own their own case manufacturing, I know that much.
They're one of those few case manufacturers that actually fabricates their own cases.
I guess this PCIe card is like really not complicated and they just like fab, you know, or they just make like 50,000 of them and then they just sit in a warehouse and slowly sell.
And then they do another run of 50,000 five years down the road.
Yep, it's the StarTech model.
StarTech? Yeah, but StarTech's expensive.
So expensive. Like man, I hate it when StarTech has that thing I need.
I'm paying like $90 for this and I know it's worth $9.
I think you have to take these screws out the front too.
Really? Wow, that's kind of... Yeah, that's not a great design Supermicro.
Oh, there's a screw on the front too. Oh, really? Oh, maybe it's the front one. Yeah, I think it's the front one. I'm going to put this back in.
Again, I guess this is just one of those things that you never should have to service. You build it once and then that's it.
As long as nobody sneaks in, just like unplug it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's coming out the front now. Oh, you missed the one on the bottom there.
What do you mean? Oh, I didn't remove the other one. What? No, that was just gone.
Oh. I mean, it is apparently an engineering sample server, so maybe they just lost a screw before they sent it to us.
Here's hoping it still works. Yeah.
All right, here it is. Here's our PCI Express slot.
Oh, see, it is only a single one that you can't even... Yeah. There's no cover.
Yeah, it's single. Huh. What is this, an A-speed?
Oh, AST 2600. Wow, it's got the fancy new IPMI.
What does that mean for us? Literally nothing. It's got a new skin and it's kind of honestly less good to use than the old one.
Are you having trouble? No.
Any assistance? No. Lineness?
I don't know how to do this. Why is your watch band so crusty? I was painting.
Oh, that's actually not that bad.
Fine. That's painting furniture for the new place.
How much does a can of paint cost? I don't know.
How much does a carton of milk cost? The last carton of milk I bought was from a convenience store.
Oh, so it was $8? It was pretty bad.
But it was at the end of the land. Dude. It was the middle of the night. I knew there was no milk at home and I wanted to eat cereal before bed.
And I was like, oh, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this.
Did you look at the bread? I hate this, I hate this, I hate this.
The expiry date was in like four days. I was just going to say, I bought eggs on Uber Eats
because I had people coming over to cook breakfast and I was like, holy s***, I forgot the eggs.
Their expiry date was three days from now. And they were like $12 for 12.
You could get a chicken for that. You could get multiple chickens for that.
How much are chickens? You could get a rotisserie chicken at Costco for like, what is it, like $9 or something.
Yeah, but how much does a chicken cost? I think they're really cheap.
When they're babies, they're really, really cheap.
Sorry, we've definitely gone off the rails a little bit here.
What, did you own chickens at one point? Yeah.
Should we put a cooler out now? It's $60.
