I got my fish rods and several other things like a heat gun and helping hands for soldering iron from Harbor Freight here in the States. Very reasonable. Unfortunately, some of their stuff can be crap, but you can find deals.

The thing you have to remember tho, when you are on a time crunch and have no time for fucking around and need to get the job done properly buying them cheaper tools ALWAYS leads to screwing around or buying more tools to finish the job, in my therory through out life, i just buy the proper tools and look for them on sale.
Is that My Movies for Media Center?

Just wondering what your using to monitor your temperature and humidity? I assume your using cacti or something similar to graph the SNMP OID output?

Scheduled maintenance didn't impact the uptime goal because it was scheduled. Uptime is usually measured against unscheduled downtime, unless you have redundant systems, then it could be measured against all time available.
When you don't have redundant systems your best bet as an IT department it to have it measured against unscheduled downtime.
Downtime is downtime and is measured against 100% time as users don't give a damn when scheduled maintenance is -- they just want to be able to use the system.
When you have downtime, your best bet as an IT department is to be honest about it and not try to play games with stats to make yourselves look better.
All the pretty cabling in the world won't improve someone's opinion of the department if they're trying to do work or use a service dependent on a system or network that's inaccessible.

No, downtime is whatever is defined in the SLA the customer agreed to.
My scheduled maintenance doesn't count against my SLA, and therefore is not factored into my uptime percentage.
OK. I get that. But what the heck does Something About Mary have to do with the rest of those titles?
An SLA is an agreement between managers which customers generally aren't a party to negotiating and certainly don't do so on an an individual basis. At an organization where teams hide behind SLAs instead of reacting directly to customer needs to realize that it isn't serving its customers and just serving itself -- at that point, it doesn't matter how downtime is measured and the SLA is just indifference dressed in a clown suit.
ok, our definitions differ, I'm working for an industry specific SAAS company, we have SLAs with users (user = company that users our products), we don't record scheduled off hours maintenance with 2 weeks notice as downtime, kinda figured that was somewhat standard. I'm not an ISP.

They came on the pre-made cables. I believe they were made by AMP.
(sorry for the delay in reponse)
I finally got around to installing my Kingston SSD from an RMA i got back almost a month ago. I have been really lazy and never had the motivation to get this box up and running again until pfSense 2.0 was released this past week.
SPECS:
- Kingston SSD 16GB Hard Drive SSDNOW100
- SUPERMICRO MBD-X7SPA-HF-O Dual Core Atom510 Processor
- Kingston 2GB RAM
- PICO 150W PSU with Power Adapter
- MINI-BOX M350 PC Case (Black Version)
- VESA Mounting screws for Mini-box case. (You can attach it to the back of a monitor)

48GB of RAM...drool
Started a new job on last monday. No longer working for an MSP now working for an IT centric electrical parts supplier, fabricator and R&D shop.
Can't really take any pictures of my racks yet, but they will come. For now just drool at this
I have 2 of these
And 4 of these.
I also have 2 netapp 2040s with 1 SAS shelf of 15 600GB SAS6 15k drives and 1 shelf of 15 2TB SATA6 7,200 drives. The plan for all this gear is that it will get split in half in November and half will go to our CoLo and the other half will stay in house. We will be creating a hot site cold site model (CoLo being hot, the office being cold, except file / print and AD.
Other misc gear we have are are 3 whitebox Open-E NFS SANs, a Equalogix PS4000xi full of 450GB SAS3 drives, a few other 2950s, Procurve 5412 fully populated with GBe, 2x 2910al-48PoE, 2x 2910al-24 (SAN, Vmotion) 2x2910al-48, and a couple misc Cisco switches that are being replaced with 2810-48s by the end of the week (HP has a pretty cool trade in program right now for cisco gear. Basically buy procurves, fill out the rebate and send HP the cisco switch and your form and they send you back a check for 20% back).

Why is HT disabled? And when did NetApp start selling 15 disk shelves? 2040s have 12 disks internal and take either 14x or 24x disk shelves...

Snap! I figured as much on the 2950s. I had no idea any of the newer Xeons didn't have HT support.

They all do actually support HT, just a problem where the guy setting up the servers before I got here didn't know you had to turn that on in ESXi as well as in the BIOS, and I just haven't gotten around to fixing it.
As far as the netapps, the shelf of 15 is a 24 shelf just not fully populated, the SATA was a miscount on my part it is only 12 (on the controller box).

Shame C7J0yc3, datastore1 and datastore1 (2), come on....
Haha, but looks like you've got a fun project ahead of you. Make sure that the guy before you also enabled VT support in BIOS. If he forgot the HT step in ESXi.

Have fun "fixing" the nonexistent HT.

Is this networking related?
Do you think that those power cables are too short?

Well then, I sure got told.
