i like the I/O panel is in the front and not the back. It can be a pain in the butt to access the back I/O panel in the DC.
I'm pretty sure the default SuperMicro panel will have to be take out but is there any motherboard that can fit this case? Did anyone try this case? Can it be bolt down by its ears? It's interesting that i don't see the blower on this case. How do you cool it?
I find it easy to update softwares (PHP, MySQL, phpmyadmin, Apache, etc.) in Directadmin because they have integrated custombuild. I plan to try Plesk for the first time, what is the counterpart of custombuild in Plesk?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs Motherboard RAID as good as a dedicated PCI-E card? I am guessing a dedicated card is the best option, though costs more.
We are looking at buying a barebones server from Supermicro. It features an onboard RAID controller which supports RAID 0, 1, 5 & 10 - but for some strange reason it will only support RAID 5 if you use Windows. Here is a link to the page detailing the RAID features.

We are going to be running Linux, CentOS 5.1, so we will only have the choice of RAID 0, 1 or 10. This isn't an issue, as having RAID 10 on 4x SAS (15k) drives will be fine for speed and stability. What is an issue is would this RAID controller be as fast or reliable compared to a dedicated PCI-E card? If it can only use RAID 5 in windows, does that suggest this controller is too reliant on software? It would be a nightmare to suffer downtime and data loss because the controller couldn't hack it during a drive failure, or one day it decided to bugger up the array when rebooting.
So that leads me to looking at this card, this looks very good for what we need. Are adaptec a reliable brand? I've seen it advertised for £200, which is a good price.

This card features RAID 5 and 6, would RAID 6 be better than RAID 10 for redundancy, or is it too slow to bother with? Also it seems to have a battery module available for it, what does this achieve? Cos surely if the power dies the hard drives and motherboard can't run off this little battery, or does it just help the controller stay alive long enough with some hard drive information in its memory if the power goes out during a rebuild?
there are motherboards are designed for server and some are for lower level, it is likely personal computer, i am interested with how to differentiate the two kinds of motherboards?

Is there some sort of checklist of all programs and settings that should take place when building a new web server? I am outsourcing a server build to a new consultant and I know that basics of what needs to be installed but I am sure I am missing a few things, most importantly security issues.
Does anyone have an input on this or links that I might find useful?
Here is what I know needs to be built:
Free BSD
Apache 2
PHP 5
Mysql 5
cPanel
I received a chassis from SuperMicro today. It came with a translucent thin piece of plastic (about as thin as a piece of paper). The plastic has holes cut out that are roughly the same as the holes in the mother board. What is this thing? Is it just a guide so you know where to put the mounting screws?

View 7 Replies View Relatedinstead of buying a rackmount that holds 16 hard drives that is about 1000$ for the case + power supply.
why not just buy a tower that might cost you $400 + PSU and use that?
my question is wouldnt it be cheaper for me to buy a tower instead of rackmounts if my majority is in space , for example my tower that costed me about $99 holds 12 hard drive bays (this is in my desktop house) , while my 3u rackmount holds 16 hard drives but it was $1000 + PSU included.
I have a tower case just under 440mm in height and was wondering where in the UK this could be colo'd?
It's basically a standard tower case you get with PCs bought from places like PC World these days. I just don't want it going to waste under my desk, so was hoping it could be colo'd somewhere.
It's a P4 3.0GHz, 1gB RAM and 200gB HDD PC, so could make good use of it really.
Now I have to say from the kick off that IRC must be allowed by the colo provider.
how I can make use of this wasted box?
what motherboard do you use for Intel or AMD? looking for mobo that come with 4 RAM slot and at least allow 4 GB of RAM. What case do you use? I thinking of going with 2U case and what (Intel and AMD) CPU do you think is the most stable and more bang for the buck.

Basically I was wondering if it would be possible to build a secondary server that could do this for me.
The secondary server could have multiple cast rippers running and could record internet radio shows, then once finished recording transfer it could send them over to my primary server to add to the website for people to download.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm building a HDD rack tower because I'm sick of DVDs and external USB drives. I plan on using it as a private FTP and file storage.
I got me a Lian Li PC-V2100A Plus II which can hold up to 19 3.5" drives and I plan to feed it with 1TB SATA HDDs.
The problem is that I neither have an idea which mainboard I should use nor if there's even a power supply that can support this many drives.
Performance doesn't matter to me I'm all about space, I'll probably throw in some old P4 and 1gig RAM.
I was thinking about a Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W PSU but I still don't have an idea which mainboard I should settle with.
Preferably one with 6+ SATA connectors so that I don't have to buy too many controllers.
I am hoping to find a dedicated server with the following specs or similar...
Processor: 3.00GHz or 1.8GHz Dual Core
RAM: 1-3GB
Hard Drive: 20-50GB (Yes, I realize most dedicated servers don't have drives this small.)
Windows preferable
Remote Desktop Access
30 GB Bandwidth
I plan to use this for running autoclickers and that sort of thing so that I don't need to worry about them on my PC. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! I realize this is an odd request.
to install a server for data sharing. My user want a Windows server with remote desktop to write, edit and share document.
The server will host 5 users. one admin and 4 users. each user will have there own account and folder. The user will update word files and save it directly on the server. The admin will have access to each directory (like a fileserver).
I want your recommandation for the share, the OS and the upgradability

Which one do you guys think will give the best performance:
1. Move mysql only to 4xSCSI raid 10
2. Move mysql and home folder to 4xSCSI raid 10
co-location of a mini tower PC I have that hosts a couple of websites. I live in Redmond, WA so anywhere near there or down in Seattle will be fine. Bandwidth wise I only need about 500GB per month. anything fancy just a secure facility with power and network connection.
