Thanks for the video. I didn't know about the Silverstone chassis with the 8 hot-swap bays at the front. I think he said there was one model with 3.5" bays, so I'll look into it. I really have to assemble a NAS at home (or preferably two). My stuff isn't backep up nearly enough.

It might be worth it to read this review of the Fractal Design Core 500. It won SPCR Editor's Choice award. The GPU cooling is about the best you can get on such a small enclosure.

Welcome back. Did you get out of prison or something? I mean, twelve years... I hope everything is great for you.

It is back.

majorgeeks.com has been down for the past few hours. I hope it is only a maintenance.

BTW, you know that since you have chosen RDIMM instead of LRDIMM, your RAM will operate at 1866MHz instead of its rated 2133MHz? RDIMM DDR4 only operates at full frequency when only one DIMM per channel is used (hence 4 DIMM per socket). If you want to put more and you still want it to run at...

Something like a fully filled RD650 or you stay in the X Series (former IBM)?

Do you mainly buy new or used stuff? They advertize a lot of servers on eBay.

In order to bring happiness to the heart of all those who've already purchased a 4K TV, I provide a link to this announcement.

Yet, I'm not at home, not on my computer and not using an account linked to me in any way, but I can access the spreadsheet and graph without issue. I don't understand why you can't.

I guess you'll need to send me your e-mail address so that I can share the document with you. I thought it was publicly available. Same goes for the others interested in accessing the file. Like I said, this is the first time I use Google Docs.

First time I ever use Google Docs. I've published the stats I've compiled since October 2010, if anyone is interested in seeing those. The graph sucks, but I don't know how to make it better. I don't shave my legs and I'm no secretary.

I've not experience that, or heard it happened on the 400+ Windows 7 computers we have at the office. Although I haven't followed this much for the past two weeks since I was on vacation.

Nexus fans were famous for their orange color several years ago. The Noctua have wine-red fan and a pale frame. Nexus : Noctua :

You don't have to fill both sockets. Several NAS-oriented operating systems, like Openfiler, would perform a lot better with a lot of RAM, like at least 64GB, rather than the typical 8GB found in low-end systems. While I haven't made the comparison myself, according to an HP heavy-weight...

No need. He's made of money. He's proven it many, many times.

I wouldn't cheapen up with the enclosure. The drives are by far the bulk of the cost. Even with 4TB drives, like the Seagate Enterprise NAS (215$) or the Western Digital Red Pro (211$), putting 30 of those will still cost more than 6300$. The 45Drives enclosure with a single power supply...

Don't opt for half-mesures; go for the real thing: SuperMicro SC847BE2C-R1K28LPB. Yes, it is ~2000U$, but it comes with two LSI expanders and it has the widest modern motherboards compatibility list and supports SAS 12G. The cost of the chassis won't be a big factor on the overall price. 700$...

Thanks.

Also, WTF, no DST in Brisbane, but DST everywhere else in Australia? That must be weird for internal commerce.

I've just woken up on the 24th's morning and my coffee isn't finished yet. I had to double-check and yep, it's already Christmas in Australia. What do you tell your children back there? The old fat guy with the raindeers makes sense here with our climate (although maybe not this year), but...

I think it happened at the 6am E.T. stats update. Congratulations.

I was preparing a post stating that December 21st was going to be the darkest day of this year, not only because of the Winter solstice, but because it was going to be the day where I lose my top spot on the FAH team, but it looks like the second point is going to be delayed to the first hours...

I'm using the Deskstar NAS model you plan to buy in a low-performance fileserver. Bought the drives last year, in early December. None have failed so far and no one complains about their speed. Regarding their use in a RAID 5 array, like Merc pointed out, I wouldn't use those in a large RAID...

Great minds think alike.

The UI isn't user-friendly enough and I don't see how I would implement rsync to maintain a single share with some 50 users. Plus, I don't want 50 copies of the same files. I want a single, secured storage that's simple to use and access for my users. There's also Sharepoint, but that's...

BTSync has no password. Syncthing is safer and open-sourced. Portable too. But I think my users would prefer something like OwnCloud over bittorrent synchronisation. I just need to find a server with some storage to try it. It really desn't seem very complicated to install. I don't know...

Several people at the office have asked me if it would be possible to share stuff on a cloud. Some have started to test something like Redmine, but it's not implemented yet. Of course, we have several shared storage units that the employees can use, but they lack the discipline to properly...

It's called thumbs. You have around ten.

After a brief hiatus, Striker seems to have upgraded his gears. His production is much higher than it was before. It looks like the new graphic card to replace the capout one has arrived.

Reference This is such a shitty news for a network administrator. I should have done something else in life.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Most of us have AdBlock or something similar. Ads wouldn't help. A clearly labeled link would be better IMO.

You really believe U.S. Postal Service will agree to pay United Parcel Service to deliver a package instead of using their own in-house system? You're an overly optimistic person.

Because it calculates your average production from the past 7 days in order to establish your 24h average. I see 254K ppd in your sig, matching the graph posted in your message. When you'll have maintain ~300K ppd for a week, it will show.

It's ok. Participation isn't mandatory. We all know you have more pressing issues in your life than contributing to the FAH team effort. The 926K points you've accomplished so far are still very good. Take you time. I wouldn't be the one to pressure others these days. I should have...

Not familiar with the term, so I had to search it : http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=h%26b Seems like the kind of things Merc is an expert of.

You're welcome.

You've installed all drivers from this page?

In the wake of these events, it seems like a good time to avoid Amazon to me. Not only me, but my entire company, since I'm the one telling project managers where to buy their computer-related stuff. Not a wise move, Amazon.

Again, a massacred link by Mooner.

Same thing for me. However, I often just shut it up quickly and fall back to sleep.

Microsoft's leadership doesn't seem to care much about the company's popularity these days. Or anyone else's opinion either.

I've found it too. I think it's the first result on Google when you search for a Linux domain controller. I still wanted to ask here first before spending time on this project.

I'd really like to be able to spend 5K$ on a random test, apparently at will and without a hint of a second thought. I haven't watched the video yet. Does it also work for amazon.ca? Or amazon.au, if there's such a thing?

Thanks, I'll look into the Samba wiki you linked. I have the Server Admin kit on my business laptop, so creating the GPO shouldn't be a problem. Regarding the size of the installation, it is for a group of 40 to 50 employees, so it's not that big. Knowing that two others here failed isn't...

It is apparently possible to build a Linux-based domain controller. There are how-to videos on Youtube about it and several guides online. Did any of you tried that? Of course Chewy probably did and could write a book about it, if he had the time. Is it feasible to configure a Linux-based...

Like I wrote earlier, the CPU has to be relatively fast in order to feed the GPU. Meanwhile, Dave climbed to #3 spot on the team. Congrats.

It seems quite obvious to me. You must have an awful eyesight.

I've seen the inside of a few 1950's TV. The electronics' design was...artistic. It was pretty much a repair tech's nightmare. It was a spagetti of thru-hole discret components, crossing each others, with long uncut resistors and capacitors' legs and seamly randomly-arrange wiring. The...
