In the quest for a 40 gigabit switch in my server rack, sometimes you come across a deal you just can't pass up. For $175, I was able to get my hands on a brand new Brocade ICX 6610 40 gigabit switch upgrade. And it works... for only $3,000 extra....

I've had the opportunity to tinker with quite a few enterprise GPUs over the last couple years, but it's pretty rare you see hardware on eBay that technically never existed.

Let's face it, as good as modern LCD monitors are, they just aren't a replacement for CRTs when it comes to Retro Game Graphics. Scanlines can be added to improve the look of older games, but finding filters to work with every game and emulator can be a chore.
If you have an Arcade Cabinet or Retro Console hooked up to an HDMI monitor, and want to retain that retro look to your games, this cheap and easy hardware Scanline Generator might be the solution you're looking for.

AMD notes that Radeon Instinct MI25 cards are PERFECT for cloud gaming servers. But I found this isn't the case. AMD offers little if any documentation about SR-IOV or MxGPU, making these Vega GPUs little better than eWaste.

Building retro PCs is anything but straightforward. You need period correct hardware, that not only functions, but functions together.
When it came out, the EVGA GT740 didn't exactly keep up with it's other contemporaries from NVidia, but in 2022 it may just be the perfect retro gaming PC graphics card.
