I'll start off, i got a new case (haf 922) OCZ 700w PSU and a HD 5770 (i know not the best for folding but i likes ATI) How about you guys? anything nice?
I know, wanted one for ages but thought sod it I am just about to finish water cooling my 4ghz i7 rig & GTX295 and want a good SSD to finish it off All I can say is DAMMMMMM this thing is fast!!!
Sadly, no goodies for me .... apart from having to replace a seized Arctic Freezer Pro fan (that's the second one in the last few months)
I got a Gainward GTX260 GS to replace my HiS ati 3650 Ice Q 3 Turbo which was folding at about 500 - 700 ppd hoping to x10 my folding when i can get it going lol.
Nope although I just treated myself to a new 2TB (upgradeable to 6) file server for the house, complete with hot swap SATA II bays. What's also nice is that it's whisper quiet
Sounds cool, what make/model is that mate? Im running out of storage so will be needing something soon although will prob be a couple of 1.5gb samsungs as they are so cheap right now!
It's a beefed up Dell dimension mate Budget closet server cheesecake! Specs are here. Still on the lookout for a good raid card, for now I've just got a cheapy one installed but it'll have to be upgraded sometime in Janurary because I intend on adding more 1TB hard drives and Hot Swap functionality.
Ahhhh you have done sort of what what I've done, I have an E8400 (not OC'd for once!) on a Asus P5K with a mirrored pair of 500GB WD 'raid edition' HDD's on an Adaptec 1430SA Raid card running 2003 small business server with 2 x 1TB and 2 x 1.5TB's for storage This is the only machine I don't fold on as I run 3 VM's on it! Need to look into decently priced raid hot-swap sometime though but no hurry!
Nice, home built servers are awesome I love my Icybox hot swap bays although like I said I haven't got a raid card that supports it installed yet. Fancy posting a couple or pics or even the spec of yours in the Server thread? I'll be buying/ building a 2U rackmount file server for the farm cabinet when I get it in at the other house next year as well So tempted to add more and more drives to mine now, and I even have a dual core A64 and microATX board sitting in the workshop for it but I want to keep heat and noise to a minimum therefore number and speed of fans to a minimum so I'm not going to bother. My VMs are going to have to run on the 2U rackmount in the server room, where noise isn't a concern The little Dell is just a NAS & Media server.
Have replied in the server thread mate with some pics I had a triple 3.5" HDD hot swap bay (cant remember make) that used 2 x 5.25"bays and even though it has a fairly noisy 80mm fan on the back the drives always used to get too hot which is why I have a Seagate 1TB down at the moment so I ditched the hot swap bay and just internally mounted them for now...
