1178746 2011-02-16 21:09:00 I know this is off topic, but speaking of 1Us, I've been thinking of getting myself a 1U unit, they seem to go reasonably cheap on TM, and I was wondering. How would i set it up at home?

Something like this: tiny.cc

Would it be usable at home? Is there some sort of mini rack I could get myself or should I just make something to hold it? Or would it just be too much pain?

Sorry chill. :D

Mate, the last thing you want at home is a U1 server!!!, get the U4 tower instead....I say this, because U1 servers have small fans that SCREAM!, seriously. There would be a place in your house that you could put the server without hearing it including the garage!...LOL...

Im in the process of replacing a ML350 with 2 x DC 5130's w\12Gb for a host...It has 6 3&1/2" slots that take SAS or SATA drives and it has all the caddys....

This would be a perfect home server to put in the garage....

Its this, but *much* bigger heatsink on the CPU, and dual-core:

Edit: wait and gigabit network too... I'm sure it was the 45CS model, I must be mistaken?!

1178748 2011-02-16 21:34:00 Thanks for that inphinity,

I may end up making another very shortly so I'll keep those in mind! Have you used either of them yourself?

1178749 2011-02-17 04:37:00 Cooler Master (www.ascent.co.nz), ProCase (www.ascent.co.nz) and Thermaltake (and probably several others) I believe both do 1U cooling options for Socket 939/940/775 etc.

Will the cooler master fit Xeons? It says P4...

Nah that particular coolermaster one doesn't fit the current Intel sockets. We have a couple in use on some socket-940 Opterons though and they are OK.

We have what I am sure is a Thermaltake one that is on a Xeon 3040 (socket 775) but I have no idea where it was sourced from or if they're still available.
