Anybody else still up?
Things get out of hand when my wife is out of town... Moved my desk and bench to the basement today, ran a regular cat6e and a pair fibers. Now I get to start building my 10gbps network...
Why 10gbps? Meh, cause I can. How else do you learn? Just do it! I have extra fiber and connectors from a work project, and Chelsio SFP+ PCIE cards are cheap enough to play around. It'll start as a network between my Linux Server, NAS, and Windows desktop. They are all getting 2 port cards, and I'll use the Linux server as the "switch" for now, and then if I decide to grow this at all, I'll add a UBNT ES-16-XG as the SFP+ switch.
