[GTALUG] Build critique request and the story behind it.

|  My 
| LAN box is actually this Cooler Master case.

Ahh.  "LAN" as in "LAN party".  So the box is meant to look cool and be 
portable.

| There's a hawk flying around my neighbourhood.
| 
| As of yet I haven't been able to catch him in flight chasing crows.

I seem to remember it usually going the other way.  A bunch (murder?)
of crows hound a hawk.

| So 
| I'll have to start recording as soon as I see him, but I can't even 
| email short videos without down-sampling them.

Depending on the phone, you could probably scp the files while your phone 
is on your LAN through WiFi.  That should not have a size limit.

|  It seems, given your previous 
| comment on SSD's being prone to complete failure, I should put the 
| kybosh on my plan to leave some unallocated space on that drive as LVM 
| headroom for /boot.

I'm not sure what that means.  I don't have much LVM experience. Do you 
mean: space outside of the LVM-managed physical partition?  To be used for 
/boot?  Since you can fairly easily re-install an OS, /boot doesn't seem 
particularly precious.
