New Backup Server (PICS!)

[thefordmccord]

So, our off-site backup server at work bit the dust and I was tasked with putting something together on the cheap.

I started with this:

...and transferred the board/ram/cpu to this:

It is an i5 2400 with 16gb of RAM. I am using a HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL for the controller. There is no RAID configuration, just single drives. I didn't figure I needed any kind of redundancy being that this is only for remote backups. All of this data is already in two other spots.

That looks like one ghetto ass rigged CPU fan. I like it!

Looks like one of the workstation PC used at my job. Interesting reuse there.

They work fine for this application. It's just weekly remote backups.

What software?

Server 2008r2.

That is the OEM Dell heatsink.

Like I said, this is on a tight budget. Broke ass public school system.
