And the RTX 5090 FE from Best Buy was around $2K.

I honestly stopped paying attention to prices after I bought my stuff. I did see posts here saying HDD and RAM prices were getting crazy high, but I assumed it was maybe 20% higher or something.

The only reason I looked into it again is because I’m getting the UNVR G2 and need around 8 HDDs. Back in October or December, I had priced out 8 drives, I think they were the new 28TB IronWolf Pros, but I can’t remember for sure. The total was somewhere around $5.5K. I remember thinking, “eh, I’ll just get these when I buy the UNVR.”

Now that same HDD has basically doubled in price. The total is around $11.5K now.

I’m thinking about replacing my current cistern alarm with something that works through UniFi, mainly so I can get phone alerts and silence the alarm from my phone instead of having to physically go down and press the button.

The current setup uses a simple float switch. The alarm sends around 9 to 10V DC through the float, and the float just opens/closes the circuit depending on the water level. I’m thinking the UniFi relay might work for this.

I was also looking at the SuperLink siren, the non-PoE version, but I’m not sure if its signal input can be triggered by a passive dry-contact float switch. The diagram shows a fire relay, but the docs don’t give much detail beyond that. I asked Ubiquiti chat, but they said they don’t know whether the siren can work directly with a float switch or not.
