Well, the replacement parts for the stolen server are in and up and running. photon ][ (or 2) is born.
The replacement parts are combined to make up the first server I have built for myself from all new parts. Well, almost all new. The hard drive ousing the OS is a use component. The list of gear breaks down as follows:
- Asus P5Q SE2 Motherboard
- Intel Core 2 Duo E7400
- 4 GB OCZ Gold Series PC8500 RAM
- 2 x Seagate 1.5 TB hard drives
- Athena Power 4u chassis
One difference in the actual parts and what is linked above is the rack mount chassis. The one I got came with a 600 watt PSU comapred to the 550 watt unit in the link.
The gear is up and running. If you are into that kind of data stand by a few more days for this weekend and I will get some load data posted. The load was done in a hurry so I could get out the door for some work related travel.
I will go ahead and let you know the obvious, of course it is much faster and powerful than the original IBM x330 1u server. Now to work out a more permanent solution for firewall duties.
