To make one thing clear. This is not a SAN. Quoting wikipedia: "A SAN typically has its own network of storage devices that are generally not accessible through the local area network (LAN) by other devices." I'd use the slow (5400rpm) drives for bulk storage, black/7200rpm drives for...

Two of these, the second one has less storage. Moving over to iSCSI as soon as my new fileserver is finished :D

A little teaser of what's to come :D

Looks familiar!

You get 16 SATA drives on two ibm M1015

Looks like cables are out of the way of airflow and reasonably well laid out given the limitations you're working with. Good work :D Some of the elitists around here go all "OMFG WHAT IS THIS SHIT" as soon as someone posts a rig that isn't clinically clean. They need to go smell the flowers...

I need a 3+1 monitor stand now, want to add a 24" on top...

Post yours, then?

U2711, U2713HM, U2711. Slight upgrade from my previous setup. It fucking owns.

Because it looks gud, you see! :rolleyes:

While not the best picture, it does look like that radiator gets blocked somewhat by those cables.

"special needs"? On some other forums, like SA, you get infracted and set read-only for a few days if you post table-breaking images. They also have a timg tag that auto-resizes the images and makes them clickable for zoom, so there's really no excuse. This archaic forum software probably...

Save resized image as copy, use a proper image host, not dropbox? Update to my fileserver pics posted above, I finshed my hardware swap today. Tried to make the power wiring better, not sure if it's a success though. Because ASUS are a bunch of retards, I had to swap the the...

Undergoing fileserver upgrades, moving from ancient 3ware card to newer SAS based controllers... New card gets hot. Temporary fix... Tomorrow, I'll be doing some brain surgery on this box to swap motherboards and add another SAS controller, cabling should be a fair bit tidier...

Awesome! :D How much did the extruded alu parts cost?

I'd love to see more pictures and details of your build, Complx.

Now that's something...

Wow, the amount of sperging about desks. They fulfill different use cases, the Jerker simply isn't big enough for my use, and the Galant is strong enough. Can you even get new Jerker desks anymore?

What's up with the fan plate on that open norco?

That's cool, noone is forcing you to post in this thread.

That certainly is a "busy" picture, any hope for a link to a larger version?

Very nice :) How do you like image on the Dell vs the HP?

Tell us more about those two monitors without bezels

Grats? :)

Broken capacitors, easy fix.

Whats the center screen wallpaper from? ( http://g1208.hizliresim.com/10/h/bx6cg.jpg )

Is it really contributing to the thread if his "contribution" is a huge-ass, shitty picture of the innards of a computer? This is about workstations, not "zomg, i did some finicly shit inside my pc to make it look bettar". That shit belongs in the case-mod gallery, or rate my cables. Not this...

The workstation is your desk and monitors and shit, mainly, seeing the innards is an added bonus, but shouldnt be your whole post. Also have you heard of resizing your images before posting?

I spot overpriced waterbottles, haha.

Got the same monitor too, and yes - the tearing can be really annoying, especially if it "syncs" 1/3 from the top or 1/3 from the bottom... Did you have to swap the caps in the psu?

Has anyone actually tested the DTS Connect / Dolby Digital Live-functionality on these cards in games? I have fond memories of DDL on the Asus P5W-DHD (LGA775 / 975X ) and nVidia SoundStorm on the earlier socket-A platform, but haven't really seen much data on how the newer offerings handle...

Does it work?

fXK: We can't fix stupid, just lean back and watch the fun when that rig inevitably blows up.

Woah, thats a collection of monitors I wouldn't mind having on my desk. How's that T221 in daily use?

Oh damn, that is hot :D Can you take some pictures with the lights off?

For a lot of people, power and noise is more important than direct overclockability. Not so much the direct power usage delta, but the reduced noise that can be achieved. I would love to see 5760x1200 tested, not just 2560x1600...

Set the controller to export unused drives as JBOD, and there will be very little interference from the controller logic. You will still have to use the 3ware options for smartmontools, but other than that they appear as (mostly) normal drives to the OS.

Sadly, no.. its just a "boring" ikea dioder setup on the back of the monitors to reduce eyestrain :)

Finally swapped the last HP 2335 for a HP LP2475, 3x24" ftw. Also removed a usb hub that had been annoying me for some time (cable mess), using the hub on the HP monitor + cable hiders behind it.
