Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 1884 Registered: Sep-09 | na my current servers are older hardware, my server needs are rather small. my main rig is i7 920 D0 stepping @ 4.2GH 12 GB DDR3 CORSAIR XMS3 1600 @ 1683 ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 BFG Tech EX-1200 instead of the 1kwatt pc power & cooling in my server Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive EVGA 896-P3-1171-AR GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x2 Drobo V2 with 4 2TB drives Hanns·G HG-281DPB Black 28" 3ms Widescreen LCD HDMI Monitor 500 cd/m2 800:1 x2 D-TEK FuZion v2 CPU Block Swiftech MCR320 "Quiet Power" Triple 120mm Radiator x2  |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Http://illuzonemu.serv..., ^^^Sick Game Post Number: 8507 Registered: Feb-06 | looks nice.. just that you need a better wire managment on your case ;) also i want that i7 2600k it will be nice to do 4.5ghz on air |
|
Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 1887 Registered: Sep-09 | its an old old case, i want the 800D but need the money for that first. also the 2600K will do 5.2GH on air, maybe not with stock cooling but on air non the less but even the Intel rep says the 1366 cpu's are still top of the line. |

Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 3610 Registered: Oct-07 | I'm currently going to school for computer hardware. Would always love to learn more about networking as I see networking getting much much bigger in the near future with the cloud and all. Just about to build me a rig also with taxes, really can't wait. Also always wanted to learn more about servers, but what's really the point in having one in home? Or are you just doing it more to fiddle around with and learn. |

Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 1888 Registered: Sep-09 | i run active directory, domain controller, WSUS, exchange, backup, FTP, and a few other things out of my house and i got the rack for free, it should be a 41U rack. Wen or Thurs i should have everything that i need to start on populating the rack. they also host ~5TB of media and other goodies for me. |

Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 1890 Registered: Sep-09 | "I really don't know anything about servers Haha. Just took up a Server class, hopfully it teaches me a little something." from the server classes i have taken they just teach you the OS and almost nothing about hardware. "And 5TB's of p0rn? Damn." no ~177GB "why you acting like you know anything about computers and networking Charles... lol" boy don't make me smack you. lol "that's some sweet stuff you have going there. wish i had a tower like yours. i'm interested in seeing this server construction." my tower is ~1.5 years old now, sooner or later i will demote this hardware to my server rack and make a new one when something worth buying comes out. if you or anyone else has any questions don't be afraid to ask. |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Http://illuzonemu.serv..., ^^^Sick Game Post Number: 8508 Registered: Feb-06 | dude i recomend a asus sabertooth wich in microcenter it says 199 but actually is for 169 the components are so much better their military tested.. they come with certificate.. and an intel i7 950 cost 250 at microcenter too.. i had that and is a pretty good deal if you dont want to pay much more money on the sandy bridge 2600k wich as far right now you will never need it.. my rig wont be outdated in a couple of years.. i mean any game right now or program or even windows 7 can use my cpu full potention so all my speed is kinda worthless oh and im at 3.7ghz with a cheap 29 dollar cpu cooler ;) even that is worthless im not going to post benchmark since you will not know anything but i bet you know the microsoft windows experience index rating?? oh i have a evga gtx 460 gtx i got it because its cheap and it can play any game right now at around 60 fps at my resolution maxxed out so all the expensive cards are worthless in my opinion if you dont use extreme graphics.. i got cpu at 7.6 out of 7.9 memory 7.9 out of 7.9 graphics 7.5 out of 7.9 gaming graphics 7.5 out of 7.9 heres are pictures of my build http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j128/extrmndor3/super%20computers/ |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Http://illuzonemu.serv..., ^^^Sick Game Post Number: 8509 Registered: Feb-06 | oh to have 7.9 on cpu it takes a 1000 dollar processor ( intel extreme processor 6 core) and over clocked to 4.2 ghz or more.. well probaby around 7.8 but is very close.. |
