Friday, December 2, 2011 at 2:21PM Recently one of our clients needed a server built up but had some very limited space constraints. The server could be more than 2U in height but needed to have 4 hard drives in it. We based the build on an Intel Xeon E3-1220. The TDP of this processor is 80 Watts so it isn't some heat generating monster and is actually pretty efficient when it comes to power usage. A case of this of this limited height has some serious space constraints internally. The stock cooler from intel wouldn't fit because it was trying to take up some of the space that one of the hard drives needed. We opted for a Rosewill RCX-SC1U a small 1U heatsink and fan. The entire heatsink is made of copper and the fan is designed to pull air in through the heatsink and eject out of the vent on the top. This is really nice because we can focus where we want the heat to go and make it work with the fans already in the case. The installation of this little cooler was a snap and thanks to reading some of the reviews online we avoided some potential work. Apparently the glue that they use on the sticker that protects the bottom of the heatsink likes to leave a lot of residue behind. We used a heat gun to get the heatsink nice and hot then removed the sticker with out a problem. We performed some stress tests on the CPU to make sure that the cooler would be able to keep up with the demand and it performed perfectly, the CPU was at 100% for about an hour and never climbed over 72C. We could occasionally hear the motherboard ramping the speed of the CPU fan up in order to compensate and it was very noticeable, though it was relatively quiet when running at idle and under normal operation. This cooler was designed for a server case and to that length we are very happy with it's performance and would recommend it for that kind of usage.

Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 9:40AM So there has been a bit of a security development with Facebook over the course of the last week. Take the time and read the Symantec Blog Post: Facebook Applications Accidentally Leaking Access to Third Parties. To summarize what all that technospeak actually means, through this vulnerability there is the potential for some with access to these tokens to actually interact with your account. This all depends on the level of access that you gave the Facebook application that leaked your token. For example if the application you gave permission to has the ability to post to your wall then the who ever gets that token can also do the same. Why should you care? Simply put some could put a link to a malicious website on you wall for all your friends to see. They would be likely to follow it because it appears to be coming from you a trusted source. Facebook has fixed this issue going forward but in order to invalidate old tokens all you need to do is change your password. So go do it, now. www.facebook.com
Summary:
There was a problem with Facebook security, change your facebbook password and you will be fine.

Sunday, December 19, 2010 at 3:28PM We have a bunch of off lease gear for sale just in time for the holidays.
IBM T60 Laptops only $299.00
These laptops are still very viable machines. I use a T60 at home for my personal computing, and I am picky when it comes to this kind of thing. One of our off lease laptops was used in the Sudan desert on deployment. It worked without a flaw and the customer was very happy with it.
IBM M52 Desktops only $169.00
You can't beat this deal if you are looking to speed up your desktop experience. If you need a monitor to go with it we have dell flat panel monitors for a very reasonable price.
Happy Holidays from all of us at Wasaga Computers
