Server update

[Toruk Makto]

I just ordered 5 Seagate Constellation ES.3 1T SAS hard drives and the Adaptec AFM-600 ZM cache module for the 6405 RAID controller that has been sitting around over here for 8 months. I will probably be installing all of that sometime in May.

If the technobabble is confusing, the short form is that the server hard drives are about to get a major upgrade.

Custom paint?

Oops,  That's the old server.

Did the old server get this paint?

[Tìtstewan]

Custom paint? Oops,  That's the old server.   This is just awesome! But Did the old server get this paint? Would nice to know.

[Toruk Makto]

No paint, just that server model depicted is our old server that got damaged by the colo in LA.

Well, I did it in January 2011!
So can we know what case you'll slip the cool new hardware into?

This is the best pic I have of the new server right now...

Txantsan!

(hrh, awesome keyboard)

[Toruk Makto]

Yeah, the keyboard is a flexible rubber contraption. I have also since replaced that big monitor with a little 7" one for local console. Way less space taken up in the cabinet.

I want names!
