    Agree on APC battery issue, have had issues with rackmount as well as standalone, in both cases batteries seldom last more than a couple of years.

    If that is the case, I wonder how hot that thing is ;) (and i am not talking about when the thing is running)

    That is a hell of a lot of heat being generated with no where to go - or have you knocked a hole through the wall???

    So essentially a 1:100 contention ratio on a 10MB connection??? - I hope that it is a completely symmetrical backhaul connection, else you're customers will be down to a much less than a 100K (even worse a 10K uplink it you only have a 1MB back connection) uplink equivalent at busy times (and...

    Clever, yes, interesting, yes, needed, ??? Why go for that approach rather than just a VM on a USB dongle for the AP - (much better antenna placement posibilties), especially if you are going to put it on a molex (since this would require the machine to be on anyway)?

    Does this exist ? Harddrive Enclosure / Removable Tray combo.

    Not sure what size HDD you are lookig to house - but if 2.5" then these by IcyBox are ideal - no need to have seperate housing on the go just eSATA: nb I know this is in Czech but I am sure the product is available in your location: http://www.alza.cz/externi-box-icybox-ib-266stusd-b-d72345.htm

    The [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread - Post your 10TB+ systems

    @ Dieta, Nice little setup, although I would consider physical location next time - i am not sure I would want to stick my setup that close to pipe work joints, or what looks to be some kind of pressure tank!

    @Moose - erm why did you put the cable path in front of the 1U server? surely leaving the gap above it would have been a lot more sense? - also what Syslog analyzer are you using?

    (@ houkouonchi) Are you UK based? if so your 13Amp comment makes sense, most other countries do not use a ring arrangement like the UK, and use radial for sockets which are normally rated to 16Amp.

    Putting the VM's on a NAS

    Does your NAS support iSCSI? if not the overhead of CIFS if it is a simple mapped drive may kill it performance wise.

    Erm..... Once you have left those tools to pick up a nice residual magnetisation are you really going to use them inside those PCs????

    Interesting project - my main question is backup? If you are using this to house witness testaments surely those are critical items - you backing up to offsite storage - or just keeping the tape originals offsite?

    Post your Smoothie/ipcop/etc. specs

    Depends on your needs - if you need traffic shaping, caching, VPN (above 1 user), inspection, etc etc then no, if all you are wanting is a good basic router capable of DHCP and some low throughput (10MB to WAN) with basic QOS then yes :)

    Video Encoding 6/8/12 core real/virtual chips

    Agreed - Handbrake will saturate all 8 threads of a I7-920, so looks to scale well.

    Re-streaming audio (and video) - if this is even possible?

    Depends if you need to transcode as well, if not then windows media services (included with windows server) will act as a distribution node for re-streaming (assuming you are using Windows Media Format)
