    We run a QNAP i upgraded recently (i believe 6TB, could be 4 thought not sure) and I ave a 4TBdesktop hard drive i use for sporadic backup.

  2. Question How to you make large purchasing decisions?

    I'm getting serious about a router for my shop, we don't have one at the moment and we need to get one. I originally looked a Kongsburg but now I'm leaning towards Multicam. Any particular reason you're making the opposite switch? any problems/complains about the Multicam?
  3. Discontinued ink for my flatbead

    So, I was informed recently that EFI is discontinuing the ink for my rastek flatbed printer.

  7. Suggestions Looking to purchase first routing table for the shop, suggestions?

    I've decided I need a router for the shop. It just gives us so many capabilities we don't have that aren't huge but when they come up, I loose my shit. I'm really leaning hard towards an Esko (even if I haven't figured out how to pay for it) I'd love to hear from anyone who's had experience with...
