Built an AWESOME machine today :D

[ndee]

OK, we needed a new server at work. So I had the honour to built that server:
Dual Xeon 2.4GHz
2 GB RAM
Raid-1 (80GB harddisks)

Unfortunately, I have to use Windows on that server. Gonna install it tomorrow. And no, we didn't get a Compaq or Dell. I know that if something blows up, I gonna be responsible for it but we have a good backup concept so yeah.

Make sure you back up that mother ALL THE TIME. If you lose one drive in the raid setup, you will have a problem. Also... I recommend redundant power supplies.

Why will I have a problem? I might have a downtime, but the data won't be lost, right?

Yes, because your boss loves downtime. The folks at tech support love saying "I'm sorry, our server is down."

ooooooooooooops, I meant Raid-1, my bad. IDE Drives in Raid-1. The downtime won't be too much of a problem. I can change the harddisk during the night or late eve'.
