Don't you just hate it when..

OP, maybe you could explain it using different, more interesting words. You could also change the story itself to something less boring and uneventful. Thirdly, you could post it on a different forum, one where I and everyone else here does not visit. These three things alone will really improve your post. You're welcome :)

You wait ages for a swanky piece of kit, in our instance a 8k rack server from the one of the largest educational IT equipment suppliers that took 4 weeks extra to be delivered due 'parts shortage'

Spend an hour getting it in plus the 2 UPS rack units..(waiting for a 20tb SAN to be delivered as well!) fire it up and it works for all of 20 mins before you smell that sweet smell of electronic death.. seems the mainboard puffed out :mad:

All he said was don't you hate it when you wait for a nice new piece of hardware to come, spend ages installing it, then it dies. In which case, yes, yes I do. Not sure why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist.

Thanks, someone who actually gets it. I could have worded it better i suppose. Anyhow its the typical gang-up mentality as usual, hence why i rarely post in GD.
 
Don't you hate It when you slam the door behind on auto-lock and realize you left the keys inside. $75 and 80 minutes lost forever.

Was going out running but instead had to sit on th doorstep waiting. Now sat drinking beer, so much for diet!

This is general discussion. It's cool to be an Ass
 
I remember during year 10 in comprehensive school the IT room had a brand-spanking new printer - I remember Mr. Cage come in and fit it with real excitement.

Second it went on, loud bang and smoke.

Never seen a man so distraught.

Laughed out loud though.
 
Never, not once in all my years in ICT have I had a server die that quickly.

Also servers all tend to be boring boxes. Not sure I could get that excited. Then again I'm jaded by years in IT.

What's the plan for it and the small SAN?
