LOCAL PICKUP ONLY Multiple DL 380 G6 servers, Dell MD3000 storage array + drives, fiber channel switch, tons of stuff. Rock bottom price gets your everything, please PM, let's get this stuff out of my house! Lots of ECC memory too, hard drives. A bunch of stuff, all on DDR3+ greater...

So I've held off long enough with my overclocked 2600k. While things seem to be bright for the future of Intel Procs, they consistently delivered sub-par incremental updates, which is why I figured now was as good a time as any. Perhaps the even greater driving force is upgrading my GPUs...

I'm looking for a good way to present storage over Fibre Channel. I know Openfiler does it, but god damn that software is so shady. Any other good options? Free version of NexentaStor? Linux with SCST? Oh yeah, it has to be CHEAP. What do you guys like?

I haven't been able to find any good information on how loud the Dell MD1000 JBOD unit is. Any of you out there have one? I know most of my Dell R series servers are surprisingly quiet, hopefully it falls in that category.

So I'm looking for a cleaner SATA solution for my home datacenter. Right now I'm using an HP P812 in a DL380 G6 connected to one of those frankenstein SE3016 Omnistor SAS enclosures. Well, for obvious reasons the HP controller hates it, and quite honestly I'm tired of it anyway and looking for...

I'm looking for a portable monitor solution that I can carry around with me in the datacenter. Does such a thing exist? I'm thinking maybe 7-10", VGA (DVI would be nice as well/HDMI). I hate having to deal with KVM's, particularly in larger environments. I need something cheap now, not a...

So I plan on replacing my Windows based storage server with ZFS. What is the current trend these days for stability and least amount of headaches? The server will be 2 X quad core xeon E5540 with 72GB ECC RAM. I'm going to direct attach the Rackable SE3016 storage array over an LSI 9211-8i...

Currently for my main storage I'm using: HP P812 Smart Array (in a DL380 G6) HP MSA 60 enclosure - 12 X 2TB SATA HP MSA 60 enclosure - 12 X 146GB 15k SAS HP MSA 70 enclosure - 25 X misc SAS 2.5" drives My OS is windows, and I'm planning on changing it up. I'm tired of the noise these...

Just got Google Fiber installed, and holyshitballs! In case people are wondering, I also have the TV service, which works great. The channels seem less compressed than TWC, and the interface is so much faster. Strangely, Google Drive is nothing amazing. You would think speed would...

I've been using OpenVPN for a while now, and while it's insanely easy to setup and configure, it also gives me pretty piss-poor performance. I keep reading IPSec/L2TP is pretty much the only way to go right now for the best latency/throughput. Does anyone know of a decently cheap solution...

I'll be getting Google Fiber in a month or so and I was wondering if there are any affordable options that might be able to support 500+mbps VPN links. I know OpenVPN is the big daddy, but it seems to have max throughput issues from my testing. I'd rather not have to hack around with it to...

Cheesy title, yes. I just finished construction of my newest basement home lab. I've always been interested in storage, so it's biased toward that area, but still should have enough horsepower to do what I need. I've been doing home servers for years and years, and quite honestly I was...

So, I'm very interested in having an SSD only array that my ESXi boxes connect to. I don't think iSCSI is fully capable of utilizing such high bandwidth, so I'm guessing my only other options are Fibre or Serial Attached SCSI? Am I totally off base here? Right now I'm running the SSD's...
