I have recently aquired a K63-400 and matching mobo and 512mb RAM from the old man when he upgraded, and i plan to use those, a shuttle psu, hard drive and network switch and turn it into a nice silver server. A couple of questions: 1) Whats the best way to cool this server? I want it to be silent or at the least extrmely silent. 2) Best place to get alu or similar metal 3) Best place for stylish reset/power buttons. If anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to add them Nikumba
1) Either watercool, or incorporate large quiet fans (120s) 2) Most likely at a local hardware shop 3) Depends on where in the world the dark place is...
Re: Re: Project: Silver Server You don't say where you are located at but sign shops are a good source for aluminum. I am lucky enough to work near a sign shop supply house. I can get what they call 080 aluminum sheets that around 2mm thick fairly cheap.
