I run 11 KW of servers in my garage. It's primarily me that would be seen as noisy I think but I'd like to minimize that next place.

So let's say it was sealed prior, and now has cracks and the appearance of needing sealant again? What do you use to fill the cracks? I got hit up buy a "spray n pray" and bit at 400 + made them do some edge patching. They did a horrible job on the edge patch and the sealant lasted about 9...

Now that is a lot of land!

Me wanting to be 10x distance I am currently from others will be very costly. Going to need to bring that down several notches.

I think 2000ft would be sufficient based on what properties we have cyber stalked so far. I am just trying to get a base minimum to set in the filters. We have visited and love the panhandle and nearby treed areas in Idaho a lot. It is high up the list.

So maybe we should start looking in the 20 range sounds like the suggestion. We have friends on 10 and that doesn't seem like enough. A lot more options open up when I adjust the filter down to 20.

is this lot layout without trees and on pretty flat land? I kind of view that as a farm type lot which is not really what we are hoping for. We have seen the super long skinny lots which Florida seems to have often and we hope to have closer to a square. Would it be possible if he had lot line...

Getting acreage is kind of a drug I think. We finally crossed into the 1+ size on the recent house and realize now what an amazing benefit even our 1.6 offers us. Currently we have around 200+ ft from our structure to the neighbors houses. Nice but it could be better. We have been looking for...

They seem really expensive on the niche sites I was using, but Texas is huge and that can add up to a hell of a commute pretty quick . I think I figured out why they didn't show up in my area browsing on Zillow also. FSBO, many look like outright sellers. Also there is a keyword modifier in the...

So what I do is an active strategy that is 2 part. 1st I have a very decent air seal. I accomplished this with normal blue painters tape. I know but yeah it works great. Its also fast, cheap and not permanent. I dont use the garage doors. Layers of it work wonders. 2nd part. Fine small micron...

thats still a shitload of BW at 10Gb

This is it right here. Sure you can maybe get buy until some homeowner does something dumb. But when they do, and someone will, expect problems. They mess up some drilling, attic work and end up with a fire or a flood the insurance co. is going to be asking "who installed this new sub panel" or...

That's a pretty solid plan on the barndo income streams. Question since ya looked into this pretty deep. Do these get good resale? Around the hill country I almost never see them listed so no idea. Maybe people love them so much they just never sell um.

10g or 40g?

I recently saw a barndo that was around 120 by 60. I would guess the garage was 40" of that attached. They had a highly functionally useful 80 x 60 2 story interior finished out like a nice house. Inside there one would have no idea it was steel framed. Above normal grade finished. They had a...

Dell and HP Z workstations are surprisingly very good if you don't need oodles of RAM

Probably Level 2 or 3. Whatever it is that stops short of "texture" Perfect video.

I insulated the garage a week ago (and the rest of the house) and wow it's very much improved the comfort level and temps. Servers are much happier as well. Totally a pita but also pretty cheap win on the scale of DIY projects. Also done in a day is a great feeling! A few questions. Should...

I need to get the temps as low as possible and the mass of metal stuff is getting ~ 8KW of hot air blown directly on it 24/7 and I dont want to maintain 92F, its unable to be cooled with 32K BTU in an R60 space. It was prior to putting the junk in there.

I noticed some large temp increases as I moved about 2 tons of steel items into the garage but at the same time it got even hotter outside so I was not sure. This is a 2 car garage turned into a mini datacenter and I need to not have it also be a storage facility for what in essence are extra...
