Damn it guys, you're making it even more confusing than before! Now I find out that even supermicro plays the same game?! Ugh. I think, if I don't find anything that fits the specific supermicro server chassis that Samir was kind enough to dig up, I'll just get a couple universal rails and be...

1. That is a downside, but like you said, once I set up the server, it's going to be untouched for a very long time. And my business is a one person business (me), so I don't see anybody else touching it for any reason. 2. I'm not going to fill up the cabinet, worst comes to worst and I need to...

Well the eBay seller hasn't responded to my offer, so I haven't bought anything. If all I need is a pair of network rack kits like that, I could buy that. Not like I'm going to need a sliding rail because I'll be doing SO much work on the server.... As long as those rack kits work, it's fine...

Surprisingly enough, the supermicro rail you provided is identical to my first ebay link. So we will see if he accepts my offer. Thanks again!

Changing the thermal paste worked for me to cure the monitor blanking issue.

I don't even know where to put this. Got a new office, decided that I want to do unraid properly, so managed to score a 12 bay server (Supermicro CSE-826 if you were curious) for the low, low price of free from a buddy. Also got a UPS and power conditioner and a server cabinet from a different...

Smoking deal. If this is still up by the time I finish moving into my office, I'm all over this.

Like I said, you're at a decent start. At least you know not to melt the two solder globs together -- that's more than half of the hack jobs I see from supposed "professionals". From here on, it's all practice. Not all soldering irons are created equal, not all solder are equal, so it takes...

Not a bad start. For now keep practicing. Your ideal soldering glob is about 1/3 of that, or less. You want to see a shiny film of solder covering the hole, but it should not protrude out too much. Basically if you run your finger over it, you should feel a very slight bump. If you're going to...

Well, I do have my most recent gaming PC that I've retired -- 4960X and 24Gb of ram, I think. Should be enough. Just need a few things, and ain't I just lucky that the PSU is in short supply nationally? Well, I still have two more weeks to putter about and then come back and ask you guys for...

Well, all that will be tested end of the month when I move in the new office. I just didn't want to have the same sort of clutter that I do in my current place. That's why I've been looking at turning my old gaming computer into a NAS, but my office is big enough to stuff a server rack in it...

I tried that in the past, but the device drivers were global, meaning changing the device drivers were installed for all users, not just the specific users. Good thought though! Most of the software I use have very low ram requirement. I think the most demanding one requires 1Gb of ram, so if...

Hmmmm, very good idea. I would have to test it extensively, I'm not sure if VM is capable of direct hardware passthrough, some of the devices I work with are really horribly coded and most of them rely on ancient FDTI serial COM drivers, and I'm not sure if the VM hypervisor is intelligent...

I don't even know where to put this. In ages past, I used to be level 2 in a corp, and once I got out I promptly forgot everything. Now I'm in automotive electronics and I just secured a lease on a office. So in anticipation of the move to the new office, I am wondering if it is possible to...

On #1..... A thought just occurred to me just now. Suppose I set it up, remove GPU and boot it up, it'll still connect to the onboard realtek NIC, and I should be able to SSH into it from another machine. I don't have much experience with freeNAS or unraid, but do they support adding another...

Title is a little confusing, so I'll explain. Using my old gaming computer for a NAS, and I've identified a potential snag. i7 860 12gb ram Gigabyte H55 mobo Now, the above motherboard has two full length PCI-E slots, meaning I can insert anywhere from 1x up to 16x. But it also has multiple...

I've now secured a pair of H310 -- I love this forum. Joust -- it generally depends on your location. If you're local in the Los Angeles area, I might be interested. Like you said, shipping is a bitch for server stuff.

Holy crap, how did I not know about this? That is freaking awesome. Thanks for the rec! Going to scour ebay.... Weeee, good deal! PM'ed. Noooooooooooooo......if only you were closer to me! Unfortunately, I'm in the Los Angeles area. I would've definitely snapped those up, especially the 2U...

As topic says, looking to turn my old gaming 1156 computer into a NAS... These are the stuff I'm looking for -- objective is cheap as balls. I'm not looking for performance -- just something that works. And cheap. That is very important. --ITX or MATX 1156 mobo with ideally 4 ram slots and 2...

These are fantastic news indeed, awesome! Would the stock fan have any sort of sticker signifying input voltage (as in, have you seen that in action?) Or would I have to put a volt meter to the wires with the UPS disassembled and hope I don't short myself? Good idea on the grille cutting, and...

So. Due to this whole situation, I bought a bunch of computer parts as a badly needed upgrade while I was waylaid at home, and long story short....turned out that these upgrades were too much for my trusty old APC ES 350 UPS (200W load max). Kept overloading when playing games. So I got a HP...

I do have a microcenter nearby, and that is always an option. I could buy a new GPU, but I'm wary since from all reports, GPU prices are on the rise because of bitcoin. I'd rather not overpay if I can help it. I can buy a 4930K or 4960X on ebay for about $200 even, plus the cost of a new PSU...

Hey guys, I built my gaming pc back in 2008 when Nehalem and Lynnfield had just been released and were trouncing everything...but now my pc is getting a bit long in tooth and I'm experiencing odd glitches like BSOD, reboots, no boot, etc. All signs point to a failing PSU, and I figured that I...
