woot i will be aquiring atleast 1 file server this afternoon i dont have the specs on them at the moment but i will get them when i hook em up and all that getting them off one of my best mates dads he used to do IT work for big companys but after a job went bad he decided to shut shop and close down his company, bad news for him, good news for me lol its taken ages but his finally scrubed down his file servers and their mine for an dismal amount gotta ask him how much again lol last check it was 200 each and he had 4 lol but he has had them on ebay and people havent taken interest in them (dont know why lol i have seen them up and running and they work pretty well in their previous environment time though to see if i can incorperate them into my environment ) well yeah his moving on monday and wants them gone today so who knows i might get them cheaper than 200 each

thats unfortunate.... my mates brother was supposed to organise some friends to help him help his dad move shit around... and well in typical alex fasion he ended up with a hangover and never got around to it so my mates dad couldnt move the crap he needed to move so he threw it in for today... the problem being the file servers are burried behind all the crap that needs moving and it would be a 6man job to clear the crap out thats infront of it... i cant organise 6 guys to help do it so it will have to wait till next weekend.... as you can imagine im annoied at it and mates dad is worse off cause it meens he cant move into his new place till next weekend :S poor bastard :S _________________ as a shadow is seen and not heard i am here

well currently im looking accross my room to the "bigger than fridge" sized server case complete with KMV switch and crappy CRT monitor, stacked neatly next to it eagerly awaiting instalation (which will likely happen on tues) is not one but 4 servers... no they arnt blade servers lol if they were than it would be much smaller but they are here, each server is setup in RAID and dual Powersuply they are also apparently twin board (and processor) driven
i will work on getting it up and running over the next few weeks (hopefully on tues but not counting my chickens just yet) i will also get a detailed specs reading on each server (im pretty sure they are all identical but not positive) _________________ as a shadow is seen and not heard i am here

Yeah, especially with the airconditon unit to keep them at a nice 18'c environment and air purification systems required to ensure you don't void your warrentee with dust _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/
