Hello all, two questions:
1) I am buying rackmount equipment and would like to get a smallish rack. 12U would probably be perfect, but everything up to ~20U would work. Does anyone have recommendations on where to buy personal racks like this?
2) I am about to buy the hardware for a new box. It will primarily be a fileserver, and its secondary purpose will be as a mysql db. The key goal is to have a RAID5 array that i can put important data on, and a central point to do backups from. I did a bit of searching and came up with the following hardware list, and was wondering if anyone can provide recommendations if anything is mismatched; it's been about two years since i built a PC, so i'm a bit out of touch
This would be a linux box:
Generic 3U case
Asus A8V Delux
AMD Athlon 64 2800+
Thermaltake silent boost K8
2x Corsair 512MB DDR PC3200
1x Seagate 80GB ATA-100 (system drive)
4x Seagate 200GB 7200.7 SATA (raid array)
Promise Fastrak S150SX4 RAID controller
One last thing, i will probably have a DVD burner in this box at some point (lite-on?), and i dont know much about power requirements; the case i am looking at comes with a 300W; presumably i should get something a bit beefier? Anyone have recommendations that aren't too loud?
Thanks!
