** you can get listings around this price point from https://diskprices.com/
* <s>$165.75 300 stickers (rsk)</s>[[User:Rsk]] bought some stickermule stickers on sale
** assuming we can't print these at The Source, stickers are good to both give out at gobblerfest (advertising!) and haphazardly place on personal computing equipment. 300 should be enough to last us a while -- we should use HokieTux with the main website URL underneath.
** https://deathbystickers.com/products/white-vinyl-stickers-builder?variant=41114416611371
* <s>$150 three AMD poweredges, 2x(r815 48c 128G), 1x(r715 12c 64GB) (rsk)</s>gone
** this seems like a wildly good deal. no caddies, but that can be dealt with, the bigger issue could be that they aren't tested past the BIOS. all the cores would be great if we wanted to start giving away VMs on a larger scale.
** kubernetes cluster, possibly?
* $152 8x500GB 2.5" for the proliant (rsk)
** $19 each, used. we'll put it in raid1, probably, total size will end up being 2TB if we buy all eight.
** <s>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007YJIGPQ</s>these are SATA == Budget Requests == bundling items together into groups with decent purchasing justification * server upkeep/parts** eight proliant caddies and two 2.5" drives is sub $100. i (rsk) can just buy these. * miku** i (rsk)'ll just buy this too, it's kinda funny and about the same price as a half-rack of ribs and pulled pork at Perry Place. * AI rig** === sent requests === * backup & storage solution (HDDs)** https://vtluug.org/users/~rsk/files/uploads/A-BackupStorage-solution-for-VTLUUG-services-and-members_12-Nov-2024_Budget.pdf * AI rig** https://vtluug.org/users/~rsk/files/uploads/A-computer-with-an-adequate-power-supply-for-AIcompute-task_23-Nov-2024_Budget.pdf === approved requests (!!) === * HDDs** purchased 11/23/24. 12TBs, because the prices for the other ones shot up, so it ended up being ~$720, ~$160 short of the budget allocation * AI rig. [[User:Rsk|i'll]] buy it after finals~
