Finally Replaced
filed in Banks on Dec.30, 2010
I finally got around to replacing the stupid CPU fan in my server this morning. For the last few months it has been crazy annoying. Replaced it with a CoolerMaster unit I got for about $12 off newegg.com. I even got a free 10ft Cat6 network cable which is nice. While it was open, I figured I would take a few pictures of it in it’s new case I got for it a few months back. It’s a nice Antec case, which I completely forgot the model number of it or I would tell you. Its very well built considering the price. Anyway, what I was saying before about pictures, here are some of them:
I need better pictures, I am aware but its hard doing freehand non flashed pictures with a Point’n'Shoot.
You may be wondering what I have done with the server since the last time I posted about it. It may seem like a lot has changed. Well, it has. I moved it out of the 1U rack server case into the Antec ITX case (as I stated before), ditched the 2 320GB Seagate drives in favor of a 32GB OCZ SSD, and added a 250GB 7200RPM Seagate Laptop drive as a scratch drive. So far this has made a Huge improvement over the last 2 drives in SW RAID 1. Also, the Drobo received an upgrade in the form of 4 2TB WD GreenPower drives which now give me a storage capacity of 5.8TB. Plenty of space. I soon hope to get better pictures for my Pics and Info page about my server, since it needs an update bad.
