thx for the input! - ftp server

[kami]

If you stay the Duron route, go with Napalms system. It's more than enough for what you need.

 

[abracadabra1]

sorry my original estimate was wrong...

it's going to be around 9gigs/hour
around 2500KB/s

paulson
if i told you...i'd have to kill you

let's just say...big files

 

[abracadabra1]

Abit KT7-$140
Duron 600-$60
30.2 GB IBM 75GXP's $135x2-$270
256 megs PC133-$173
3COM 3C905-TX-M-$47
Case-$50
Heatsink-$20
2MB Stealth 3D 2000-$20
KB/M-$20
52X CDROM- 37

Total- $837

this seems like the server. good? anything i should change?

suggestions for a case?

thx!

 

[Impact55]

do you really need 52x CD ROM?

 

[lowtech1]

Yikes!

9gigs is much more than the original 1.2gig.

I would go for a K6-2 400mhz/fan/mobo for $100, $10 graphic, $20 NIC, $30 case/power, $200 for 384megs RAM, and IDE/SCSI.

 

[Relf Lauren]

abracadabra1, you're not part of razor are you?

Viper, where did you find 128 MB PC100 for $65?


Relf Lauren

 

[lowtech1]

PC100 = $65 Pricewatch.com


Ps. You may want to opt for a 15000rpm SCSI hdds for the kind of through put your are looking at

 

[abracadabra1]

yah...big bump there, i screwed up w/ me math

let's see...how's this
abit be6rev II w/ ata100- $123
intel pentium II xeon400 w/ 1mb- 124

ehh, screw it...i'll stick w/ the duron/kt7-raid combo

impact
no i don't really need it, but it's the same price as the 24X i found

 

[Viper GTS]

<< abit be6rev II w/ ata100- $123
intel pentium II xeon400 w/ 1mb- 124
>>



No can do on that combo, Xeon requires a slot 2 motherboard...

Viper GTS

 

[abracadabra1]

i knew that

tehhe...thx viper

 

[piku]

What I don't get is why do you need a monitor? If this is going to be a strictly ftp box, you dont need to touch it once you get it going. Just use one of your other monitors for its setup, and from there access it remotly.

 

[abracadabra1]

there's no monitor listed in my parts list

 

[abracadabra1]

ttt...let's finalize this server

 

[DesignDawg]

Why are you only asking peple from Oklahoma?

[abracadabra1]

ehh?

 

[Viper GTS]

Why are you paying the extra for PC133? Unless you plan on OCing your server (not real bright, but OK if you want to risk it, I guess...) PC100 is all you'll need.

Viper GTS

 

[abracadabra1]

i can get the 256megs of pc100 for 159...but i rather opt for 133 in case i use it later when i upgrade or just swap it in a different system.

only about $14 difference

 

[Viper GTS]

Okie, just curious. Initially you sounded like cost was everything, &amp; I figured that'd save you some money.

And I found PC100 on pricewatch for $130/256 MB.

Viper GTS

 

[Dark4ng3l]

originaly you had a 500$ budhet and now you want a 9gb/ hour I mean fot this king of throughput you probably need 150000 rps scsci drives that cost more than your total budget.

 

[abracadabra1]

yah well here's the deal..
got about 50 people pitching in to buy this. first it was going to be $10/person, but i convinced thgem to do $20. that's why the budget changed to 850 (1000-150 for router)

 

[abracadabra1]

would opt for scsi if the sh*t wasn't so damn expensive

 

[lowtech1]

At frist you were saying that it gonna be for business use, but it sound more like it gonna be a personal mp3 share server.

...Then why didn't you say so in the frist place.

I'm sure you can find retired parts among your group of 50 people to built a FTP box, with 32~64megs of ram and a few 15000rpm SCSI hdd for the task.

 

[beer]

Lowtech -

Why may I ask are you advocating such a rediculously fast hard drive for such a simple task?

Those X15s are really meant for things like data mining, 1,000,000+ SKU databases, etc.

It sounds like he is just using it for MP3s.

Why do you feel the need to recommend such a rediculously unneeded disk subsystem and in the very same sentence, say &quot;32-64 MB RAM?&quot;

 

[Napalm381]

A 15K rpm scsi drive for a simple medium usage ftp server? That plus a scsi interface would probably come close to exceeding the price limit.

 

[abracadabra1]

i don't think i made it sound like it was for business.
i answered that it was for personal use when i was asked.

welp...thx for the help!
