    Got a parcel in the post yesterday, it was my new-ish server. It's a Dell Poweredge 1950, the one with the 4 2.5" drive bays in the front. Didn't come with any hard drives in it, so am going to buy a few 500GB's from Amazon and put them into RAID. As for OS I was thinking of hijacking the SATA...

    Post Your Connection Speed

    Before, and after > We complained to Virgin about some pitiful speeds we were getting, sometimes it was around 5Mb/s down, others it wasn't even 1Mb/s. They upped our package to the 60Mb/s and gave us the new superhub thing for free, and told us we'll get either 100Mb/s or 120Mb/s once...

    Got this lot home from work today. They were all ready to be skipped as some of them have broken screens / issues. Am hoping to make a couple of decent ones from the lot. The 2 shiny top ones are EEEPC 1005HA's and the rest are EEEPC 1001P. If I can get some of the 1001P's working they'll...

    Got this little beast through the post yesterday; Plugged in and working; Quite happy with it, seems pretty speedy for what it is. Only problem I have so far is every time I want to use it, I'll have to plug it into the TV downstairs as my comp screen doesn't support HDMI. Guess I...

    Yeah indeed, I've had a quick look on Ebay and the model I have atm is still around £600 to buy on there :eek: This one is a bit bashed up, got a few dents and scratches here and there too; dunno if that makes a difference on the price side of things.

    Borrowing this from my colleague for a while, I was all for hating Macs because of the experience I've had with them at work, but when you've got one on it's own, it's awesome. It's a "Late 2008 13inch" version, according to Apple support. Considering asking how much he wants for it..

    Hows that Chenbro case going? I've been looking into a NAS build for a while but can't find any decent price cases that support 4 or more drives + hotswap. Also what mobo is in there? Got myself the new servers. Another DL360 G3, dual Xeons @ 2.80GHz, 4GB ram. The other is a DL380 G2, that...

    ^ To add to that, I like the blue glow, awesome. Seeing all them drives reminded me I need to replace one of mine, it seems to have just died on me. It's been flashing orange for a while, only now it's just started flashing red. Glad it's the hot spare and not one of the main ones lol. Also...

    Not yet. I't something I want to have a mess around with though. I don't have the equipment to do it since it's all switch based iirc? And anyways, the people that do go on there are people I can trust. Everything over the lan is protected/passworded, there's no open shares or machines without...

    I got bored earlier. So I threw them SAS drives into the ML, that's an extra 900GB-ish space in there now! I was tired of having the stuff sitting under my desk, so I've put it to use. The top one is a normal 500GB sata, the other 3 are 15K 147GB SAS. I'm in the middle of modding one of the...

    @Dash, it was the DL360 G3 iirc. I had it running on my bed while I was messing around with it, the radiator was on behind it, that couldn't have been helping. I didn't realise at the time lol. No server yet, they haven't decommissioned it yet. Guess it'll be here next week then. :rolleyes...
