Went through the garage and got together all the tools I no longer use or need. Put them up on Craigslist. made a money. Only one router left. I did the same thing with the old computer stuff n the closet. Surprisingly I made money. I expected to have to throw out or donate the majority of it. The best part is I made enough to cover the cost of a new bigger router, gained a LOT of space and made a couple hundred dollars extra.
Since we’ve not recorded TV in almost half a year, I took the pvr additions off the server, and moved it to a smaller space. after playing with 4 different spots, I found a lovely hidden place to put it. With any luck I won’t hear the drives running. This is a bit disturbing however, I think I may be obsessed a bit with the quiet in the house. Really, the only noise that the server made was the a very quiet low hum from the drives spinning. The fans are barely spinning, it just doesn’t get that hot. The drives are NOT loud. Probably less than 20db. The dog stretching or the chair creaking drowned the sound out. But it was always there. Laughing at me with it’s quiet little hum. Mocking me. Staring at me from behind my monitor as if to say “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!..”
I put the little fuckers in the corner, next to the closet. So far the punishment and the threat have worked. I can no longer hear them.
