Learned about the Norco 4020 from you guys so figured I'd show my final product.

System: 2 x Xeon L5410 ES, S5000PSL mobo, 4gb, W2k3 Std.

Power Supply: PCP&C Silencer 750

RAID Controller: Areca 1280ML & Sun StorageTek SAS (Adaptec 5085)
Array 1: 20 x Seagate ES 750GB [RAID6]
Array 2: 8 x WD RE2 750GB [RAID5] (Soon to be replaced with Seagate 1.5TB)
Array 3: 8 x WD RE2-GP 1TB [RAID5] (currently migrating from another server)

Total Amount of Advertised (before formatting) Space: 29 TB

Total Usable (before formatting) Space: 25.75 TB

=====

Bottom one is Norco 4020, above it is the SAS Expander chassis with Array 2 & 3. That's a Hardigg 11U Classic Rack I'm starting to use for my consolidated server rack :)

That's quite a nice setup, I hope to get the Norco 4020 once the funds come in for this damned expensive hobby. ;)
 
nice Hardigg enclosure! a little more portable and durable than a full 42u server rack, good idea..
 
I made some update. I change the case. For better cooling and more space for HD.

Enjoy

no pic of the second monitor dedicated to the dudes underage daughter?
 
Just in this afternoon, my Thecus N5200 Pro and 5x 1TB Samsung drives

1637812.jpg


Also shown, 2x 500gb LaCie externals and a 1TB LaCie external
 
Wow... I've posted about 3 times without pics! And I keep meaning to, then forgetting! Holy crap I'm slow :p

Well, here they are, not to disappoint (unless you had high standards ;)):



And a "df -ha" for the space. RAID is /dev/sda1, and the filesystem is XFS (since df doesn't show that):



Specs are in my sig. Yes, the date on the camera is wrong, I took those pictures about 5 minutes ago :p

I can now answer your question #1..

I was moving the server to a new shelf thingy I got at Wal-Mart and while moving it.. why not weigh it? Depending on how it's seated on the (craptastic) scale, it's between 49-51lbs.

 
Here is my server (colo'd). These are some old pics since now it has jerry rigged ARC-1231ML in it and the upper left 3.5 inch bays now are 2.5 inch hot swap bays for some SSD's I will be adding in the future.

Right now it is 8x750 GB in raid5. Storage capacity = 5.25TB:













Mythbox, 8x500 GB (raid5), total storage capacity 3.5TB:



Desktop use system/main storage box. 20x1TB (raid6) 18TB useable:

What's the reason for having it colo'd? Just wondering.
Click to expand...

I run a bunch of game servers on it. Also not shown in the photographs but it now has 4 network links which means 400 megabits of internet connectivity. There is no way I could ever get that at home. Also due to certain circumstances I get free colo, so why not? I used to have a 1U server with 2x500 GB drives (no redundancy) but I wanted something redundant so I upgraded it to 2U with raid.
