i've noticed that when the towers sit on the ground, there seems to be more dust in the cases in a shorter period of time ( from the carpet i imagine).

at the moment both cases get a dusting every 6 months, unless i'm fiddling with them. then they get a dustout while the covers are off.

4x 2 TB at the moment. but theres another 2TB drive waiting to go in. once that goes in i'll be putting it into a RAID, probably something like RAID 5

the server was built to make use of old parts, and extra storage ofcourse.

Ok so see if m-itx have onboard RAID yet. If they do, you are set (cheap solution). It wont be fast.

Otherwise buy a RAID card if you are worried about speed.

Wanna know how to stop the dust?

Put chicks stockings over the fans - and bolt them back in. Best filter you can get and cost nothing, and just wash em every 6 months. Works perfectly for me and my machines are on 24x7

cabinets i've seen are around $600 + freight

You wouldn't buy a new cabinet. Get one off OCAU or a forum like that, you can get a full 42U rack for $100 or even free.

Just don't buy a comms cabinet by mistake and then try and put rails in it.

There are some desktop cases that are rack mountable or one of these with a couple of 4 in 3s for 8 HDDs

You could also look at something like this with 7 HDDs in a mITX case.

pretty sure i'd look strange buying a pair of stocking with no girlfriend in sight :P . but i never thought of using them as filters.

i cant help but wonder if you held off the the release of the 2700k whether the 2600k would drop to the price of the current 2500k

i have also been wondering do i get a Noctura or get a Corsair H20 water kit

I was thinking about a Corsair Water cooling then I thought, nah. The Noctua 120 and 140mm coolers are just so damn quiet it's impossible to go past them.

Will take pics of my rig today when I've finished the transplant. Going for best cabling run I can.

So I just took delivery of some Dell Precision T7500's at work for my whole team.

Dual Xeon X5647

2x16GB 1333MHz RAM (can go up to 6 of these for 96GB)

2x300GB SATA HDD (10,000RPM) RAID 0'd

1x120GB SATA3 SSD for OS

1x2TB SATA HDD (7,200RPM)

1 GB NVIDIA Quadro 600

plus dual U2410's.

bit of overkill for a bunch of dev's but meh. It's all deductible as R&D costs :P

    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
