    Bootable burn in tester?

    Anybody have recomendations for a CD image to boot to test a machine? I've got a managed server that's rebooting itself, and trying to figure out why, because the cut rate host doesn't want to swap the hardware. Memtest86 doesn't show any memory issues; no IPMI logs from the incidents...

    EDID Emulator recommendations?

    Anyone have recommendations for HDMI EDID emulators with pass-through that are low cost, but possibly configurable, or at least work well? I've got two cases where I might use one.

    m.2 length extension?

    Has anybody used the m.2 length extenders?
