Thanks for the tip–they are very pricey. I’ll keep this in mind though.

I have that same guitar, getting a new one sometime this week, it’s decent for a starter, it’s gotten me through a year of playing

Hi,

Randomly came across your page after Googling “APC rack”. Just read this post about your cooling issue and thought you might consider a thermoelectric cooler if you’re still having the problems. Rather than cooling your entire garage, you could cool just the rack itself (if it’s not open air). We use these in industrial applications and they’re fantastic, although a little bit expensive!

Comment on Keyfob Success!!! by Michael Requeny

Sorry it took so long to reply–
I’ve taken HID cards apart–but not the keyfobs. I don’t know how you can make that work, the chip itself is tiny, but the antenna that wraps around takes up alot more space. The only thought I have is wrapping your own antenna tighter but I don’t know Radio tech stuff to tell you if that has a chance of working.

seems you have an understand of how HID keyfobs work.
then maybe you can help me? heres my story

“My company recently gave each employee a keyfob, the label on it says HID.
all I want to do is clone that exact key and then I want to write it to another key which is smaller, hopefully small enough to fit inside my nokia N78 phone, just above my sim card, there is enough space to fit two microSD (size referance) cards stacked vertically. hopefully that is enough room it fit a passive rfid chip.
I already took apart one HID keyfob and the chip inside was too big to fit”

ugh. I have that exact same guitar (not the starter kit, just the guitar. I have a different amp), and it stays in tune for all of 2 minutes (when you play). its pretty crappy, as far as guitars go, but hey, it’s better than nothing…

Yes, you could do that as well. The much more powerful–much more expensive solution is APC NetBotz. I have like a dozen it’s an addiction.

This costs $20 bucks at the most to start, and about $3 bucks per sensor you add on. Assuming your Cat5 is free.

They could also be useful for the server room? Per rack temp monitors? Sweet!
