Where did you get those magnets? I want them for my workstation.

Sounds like a management nightmare for backing up.

You must be new to the industry. Congrats on your first job!

Plex is definitely friendly to setup once and walk away. XBMC will scratch the deep tinker itch.

First off, you are being put into a really hard position as you don't have a lot of money to really work with. All solutions on this will be fairly patch worked together. Do they actually have offsite storage for these tapes/drives? Anywho, drives can fail, especially if they have come out of...

I ended up picking it up from the Gamefly deal for the xbox. Beat it a couple nights ago. I'm not sure what RA Salvatore had to do with it but it doesn't seem like his writing style. Anywho, if you want the xbox version, PM me

Boohoo I want a new HP Microserver!!!

Hrmm you might want to get someone with some base networking skills to come in to help them.

I assume you want gigabit? Do you need it to be a managed switch? On ebay you can snag Dell Powerconnects (2724 or 2824) which would give you gig and layer 2.

Qnap and Synology are going to be your best bets at that price range. Throw a external usb drive onto the NAS that it backs up to and enjoy. Unless you want to roll your own box and run something like freenas.

I might just hold off on refreshing the pfrsense idea.

USB RAID.. Sounds shifty. Rather root the Pogoplug and setup the USB devices to rsync between each other.

I get where you are coming from but you want your ESXi box to be fairly stripped down. I don't want a webserver running on each host. Just opens too much security issues on each host.

Possible botched rootkit or permission elevation attempt? Though I think that is really unlikely. You have one box open to the net. They are going to look to root that then move to the others. If you've had RDP open to the internet then you've had many many people daily rattling the door...
