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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
