    Building a Server for VMWare. Advice?

    I did a search for NForce in the HCLs but only found 3 NICs supported. But nothing about chipsets. Can you point me in the right direction? For example, the Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI is using a Nvidia nForce 650i SLI chipset rather than ATI.

    Building a Server for VMWare. Advice?

    It's ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 chipset and Realtek NIC (which I know will not be supported). But this card together with Adaptec cards would work. What chipsets should I look for that is supported (that being said, it doesn't mean the NIC nor storage controller will be supported)?

    Building a Server for VMWare. Advice?

    I totally understand the requirements from VMwares side to make sure that devices on the HCL are server products so they can guarantee the reliability. But I think it's pretty common that you'd like a more simple machine in the testlab (less noise, price etc) Thanks for the tip on the...

    Building a Server for VMWare. Advice?

    I understand ESX is picky about the hardware (at least SATA-controllers). Can anyone share their working configurations for ESX (version 3.5)

    Building a Mini Fileserver for 5 harddrives

    People asked about the heat and temperatures when we squeeze so much stuff in such a small box. Now we’ve done some heavy testing! Here are two final temperatures after running some tests for an hour during harddrive stress. If you look at the manufactures specifications (Examples...

    Building a Mini Fileserver for 5 harddrives

    Thanks for all those hardware recommendations! Isn't there some SATA controller cards with 6-8 ports that are cheaper? I understand that RAID-cards might cost some $100+ but an "ordinary" SATA-controller - wouldn't that go for $50 or less? There seems to be some 4 x SATA controllers for $20 so...

    Building a Mini Fileserver for 5 harddrives

    Thanks for all your tips. I've thought of a Shuttle aswell but I simply wanted a low-voltage Mini-ITX server and when I realized we had the possibility to make one - why not! We have to do something during the dark winters up here in northern Scandinavia :) We just made a new prototype with...

    Building a Mini Fileserver for 5 harddrives

    Right now our prototype is running with 5 HDs and a EPIA EN motherboard (with Gigabit LAN) and none of the HDs are above 39C. However, we think that switching to only SATA will make a big difference since those PATA cable stop a lot of airflow. And the fan is the most silent and this model...

    Building a Mini Fileserver for 5 harddrives

    We’re planning to build a Mini Fileserver that will hold 5 HDs. It’s small (180 x 180 x 250mm) and our plan is to make it look good on a bookshelf. Our plan is to have an exchangeable front cover. Get more pictures and follow the project over at My Uninstalled Life We’d love to get on...
