Date: January 11th, 2018 7:25 PM Author: ruddy fiercely-loyal indian lodge rigor Pretty good.
How are you configuring the storage? I feel like unless you're planning to mirror the two SSDs, you could stick with just one for the OS and maybe frequently-used programs, and then use the HDDs for media, etc.
My other criticisms are that I don't understand the point of a $300 chassis, Dell monitors are good but a bit overpriced, and unless I'm missing something, you left out wifi/bluetooth. |

Date: January 11th, 2018 7:27 PM Author: Burgundy irate resort that's not true. this is actually a list I created back in August. I haven't purchased it because my current machine is still going strong. however, it's now nearing the end of its life & I'm noticing myself making more and more repairs and encountering more problems. my USB3.0 ports finally shorted out, so I'm relying on USB2.0 for everything. Also, whenever I need more storage, I buy another USB hard drive, which is pretty wasteful. I built my current machine in 201 for right around $7,000.

|
Date: January 11th, 2018 7:54 PM Author: Burgundy irate resort I've been going back and forth on building a NAS. It's probably the best option, but the cost is still pretty high. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3856607&forum_id=2#35135534) |
|
Date: January 11th, 2018 9:55 PM Author: Carmine beady-eyed meetinghouse son of senegal Well, when you're talking about going buckwild on CPU and memory on some $6500 do-it-all rig, a NAS starts to make a lot of sense.
You don't need a ton of CPU on a NAS. And while you do need a decent amount of memory, something like 32GB of DDR4 ECC ought to be plenty.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117790&ignorebbr=1
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813183013&ignorebbr=1
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148840&ignorebbr=1
That's under $900 so far for CPU/mobo/RAM. Buy 4+ of these 8TB drives on sale for $160, shuck the bare drives out of them and you're well on your way to completing a sick NAS for $2k or thereabouts

Each page is 100 MB. Then, I process the scans, remove blanks, resize, deskew, and OCR the resulting images.

Date: January 11th, 2018 8:16 PM Author: cobalt clown native IDK why you need 600 dpi for text documents, but either way this can all be done without an i-9 or 128GB of RAM if I'm reading that correctly. which is ridiculous.

I find that 400 dpi is about the lower bound of what will reliably produce good OCR results.
But I don't know why he wants that shit raw. And he must be saving all pages in color, even though most legal documents are better saved in black and white (not even grayscale). |

|
Date: January 11th, 2018 8:04 PM Author: Burgundy irate resort a top-tier gaming PC only requires a good graphics card and a good processor. you don't need much RAM or disk space.
this machine will have decent processing power and a FUCK TON of RAM so that I'm not relying on SWAP space as much. Right now, I am using 11.1GB of the 16GB available RAM I have. I am almost always maxed out on RAM, which slows shit down.
also, one of the biggest problems I have is backing up data. I use duplicity to automate backups to AWS every other day. The amount of processing that occurs is massive given that every single file I want to back up has to be checked for changes. |
