Pics of new server hardware

(server n00b here)

I always figure the internet just floated somewhere, or for some reason I thought it was based in the Pentagon for security. Then I learned that you have to invest in the literal physical means of a website, then my hopes of a future site were lost.

It's not for free at all (you have to invest time, money or both)

Srane, oe <3 1U rackmount servers...

Rackmount ftw! I have a server in my basement that once cost about $5000 including OS and software, that I bought second hand for ~$200 in 2009. Problem is that it's almost 10 years old, and a problem with the motherboard makes it impossible to remotely shutdown or restart it, or the firmware will get bricked and it wont boot until someone manually opens the case and press the clear button. Pulling the plug works fine though. 

Luckily I have a much more powerful and stable production server..

I thought you had a TRS-80 Model IV for your server?

HRH, ouch.

I have two servers in my house.    ...and we have some other ones in a far away state.

I would like to lay my hands on the blade cluster that the local authorities have in their datacenter.

8 Blades, each with two Quadcore Xeon Processors and 16GB of RAM.

Seconded.

Anyway, great hardware pictures, it looks really nice and I'm loving the 16 GB of RAM. Hopefully we wont have to upgrade for years.

With that much RAM?? I don't think we will have to.

What about Space? Surely it has atleast 1TB of space.

Spoiler: Our police and their server

(I remembered one of the worst days of our town earlier this year, tornado heading for our town, and the police station is complaining because the system crashed)

[Kätsyín te Zotxekay Tsyal’itan]

Yeah, it was in the first few posts, its a 1.5TB

Every user serviceable part on my IBM systems is eihter violet in color or there is a violet sticker on it. And I have never experienced any problems of any sort with those cases, they are really well build. I've seen some cheapo PC cases that were nothing more than crap, you know, sharp edges and all that stuff ^^

Hmmm.... I would have expected that there would have been a lot more parts colored blue in this server. (Maybe a can of spray paint could fix that  ) At least though, there is no component visible labelled with the letters RDA....

I pulled the RDA stickers off of everything, but the blue spray paint idea is not bad....  Maybe with stripes? Or glowy blue LEDs in a pattern or something...

OK, now you are obligated to do that.

Very nice machine!!! My pc which I have at home has an i7 processor 3GHz 1366 socket, 12Gb ram (DDR3 in triple channel 1333), 2 sas hdds 300Gb each at 15000rpm and 2 nvidea quadra in SLI. I build it on my own. (I animate and render my projects in 3ds max with that).

Txantsan regarding the RDA stickers (which I hope you disposed of with the proper ceremonies).

Of course I suspect you know painting electronics would cause all sorts of problems, not the least being thermal management problems. But there is nothing from stopping from hand painting the midchassis rail ta`lengean with some pil. The blue LED idea is intriguing and actually quite doable. Just get a string of blue battery powered Christmas lights. They can be wired into an available 3.3 volt or 5 volt (disk drive power) power connector, with the appropriate resistor in series. I might try that with the next computer I build.

And while bragging about computers, we just instanned a 8-cores-of-xeon, 24 GB RAM, 4 TB onboard RAID server, with a high-end graphics card at work. The graphics card is there only for its GPU, needed for high performance video file transcoding. This monster also has 8(!) NICs. They actually sent us two of these, and have not so far asked for the other one back.....

[Sіr. Ηaxalot]

Gentlemen, BEHOLD!

Well, we decided to not buy a chassi when we built it. Also note that Graphics card, the one that's mounted in the PCI port. It says ATI 1995 in the top corner

looks like we should open a "Post a pic of your server" thread?! Who likes to start?
