Mike is the founder of The Geek Pub. A jack of all trades who simply enjoys the challenge creating things, whether from wood, metal, or from lines of code in a computer. Mike has created all kinds of projects that you can follow and build yourself, from many different styles of retro arcade cabinets to Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects.
The team over at Inventables contacted me and said “Hey! We’d like to send you the latest version of the X-Carve with all of the upgrades including the X-Controller; and the only thing we’d ask in return is that you give it an honest review.” So this is my honest review. Watch the X-Carve Upgrade […]
Whether you’re building an arcade or some other contraption, the goto board for most of these projects has been the Raspberry Pi series of single board computers. Since the Raspberry Pi runs an ARM Cortex processor, you would normally run Raspbian – which is a Linux based operating system. If you want to run Windows, […]
If you’ve seen any of my videos, like the recent Tour of My Home Network then you’ve probably seen my custom Observium dashboard. I am asked multiple times per day how I was able to produce this custom dashboard on Observium in the YouTube comments, through email, and here in the comments on The Geek […]
So I have had a ton of requests over the years to give a tour of my home network. Honestly, I never gave the tour because I just didn’t think people would be that interested in what I had. Well I have had enough requests to get the idea that some of you really do […]
If you’ve been trying to get your hands on the Nintendo NES Classic, you’re probably in the same boat that most people are. They’re almost impossible to find, unless you’re willing to pay the outrageous price scalpers are adding on top selling them on the eBay and other online market places. Many of us have […]
If you’ve spent any time in data centers or around IT people, you’ve probably heard talk of something being a “2U server” or a “1U switch”. In my most recent video I built a really cool 1U server. I was a little surprised by how many people were not aware of what this “1U” thing […]
I recently built a 1U rackmount server for my home theater closet. A debate shortly ensued over whether or not I should use a Core i7 or a XEON for my build. This started a second but much more civil debate over whether or not ECC RAM was important in my build. And it quickly […]
I recently did a video and article on Building a Bad Ass 1U Server. I chose to build this server with an Intel Core i7-6700K. The YouTube comments immediately erupted with naysayers commenting on my CPU choice with the likes of “That’s not a server, its 1U Desktop”, or “No ECC RAM, not a server.” These […]
You have to admit that VMWare created some really cool technology back in 2003 when they released VMotion. So before we talk about how VMotion works, let’s quickly cover what it actually is! I still routinely run into people who have no idea that VMotion exists, and when they find out what it does they are […]
A lot of people these days are building homes or buying homes that have network or A/V closets in them. On many of the higher end homes, these builders will hire audio-visual companies to actually do the installs and many times they will install a ductless mini-split air conditioner on the closet. This will be […]
