righto, looking at upgrading the server case before summer hits again. currently running a thermaltake M9D.

i was looking at the lan li TYR PC-X2000B. but after killing 2HDD and 2 GPU's from heat. i need something that has good cooling properties.

at the moment there is a 40mm fan under each HDD for cooling ( 5.25 bay with a bracket) so i'm after something that has ~10x 5.25 drive bays to have enough room for the fan setup's.

suggestions?

Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P80B - 12 x 5.25" bays. Fill it with Lian-Li EX-H34 for 16x3.5" hotswap bays. Has a great cooling setup.

Ash: have fun configuring a RAID5 with a P67 ICH controller, much lulz has been had in our office the past few weeks with RAID5, P67 and Caviar Greens :D

I run a modded Perc 5/i card mate, its all hardware driven, not sofrtware. Hence it's so fken fast compared to ICHRX

I've actually got 3 still here that i picked up for a steal of a price a while back.

I'll use the 2nd card for a backup server, the other two i'll probably just sell.

its a pity how 16:10 used to be the norm, now you have to pay an effing premium for it :/

Yep, i refuse to but a 16:9.

Haven't had one for 4yrs now and won't go back. I'd soooo hard to find a 16:10

I have the Sammy 2443BW as well, great screen. Had it since Nov last year :D

haha how much is one of your PERC cards worth? software RAID can still be fairly quick for purely storage use!

Will get a 16:10 monitor when I've got my R32 running right, ATM it's more of a priority than nice things for the PC, downside of being on trainee wages!

Care to part with one? I have two - one in my fileserver, one in my esxi server - would like another for my fileserver... I got mine at a decent price on eBay with the battery-backed cache a few years back. They're rockin' cards :)

that's fairly cheap given the price of a new RAID card, and damn I was hoping you were going to use the ICH so you could find out about things like sector aligning the drives lool.

do you cards have internal or external connectors? Most of the ones on Ebay appear to have external SCSI connecters rather than internal SAS/SATA connectors

Yeah man they aren't that expensive really. Awesome value. You just need to give them a fan on 5v (cable ties FTW) and then you are laughing. I didn't put a heatsink like other crazy mofo's and mine is fine.

The 5i thread from god :)

It's all there. They are SAS to SATA - internal ;)

I'm going to upgrade my computer in a couple months, this is what I had in mind..

Thoughts? Comments?

(I already have an ATI 6970 video card, plus hard drives)

Which PC store is this from?

Also what is currently the best bang for buck video card for running current games @ 1900x1200 smoothly on high/max settings?

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
