My current sandbox home server hosting my websites, FTP, SSH, storage, etc. Dual hot-swappable PSUs, hot-swappable drives, very noisy and each weighs about 35 kg (approx 77lbs).īest of all? These beauties didn't cost me a thing. These are "real" servers, and as such they have all the good stuff you want. Currently I'm shopping around for a decent co-location facility since I won't be running them from home - the level of noise these machines put out is astounding, and they consume rather impressive amounts of electricity. Of course these machines run Ubuntu Server, and it installed and runs completely flawlessly. I'm not sure what I'll be doing with this machine, most likely using it for experiments as a sandbox type environment. Dual 3Ghz Xeons, but slightly older CPUs lacking for example 64-bit extensions. The other machine in the second photo is a slightly older x345. The second photo is another identical 346 (except for a slightly different disk-configuration: 6x72GB 15krpm SCSI/320 in RAID-5) which will be running back-end services such as MySQL databases and miscellaneous other services such as my XMPP-server. It will also be dealing with email, ftp and similar related services. This machine will be primarily functioning as a front-end webserver, running Apache, PHP and all that good-stuff. It has two disc-arrays, one consisting of two 146GB 15krpm SCSI/320-disks in RAID-1 (for operating system) and a secondary array with three 300GB 10krpm SCSI/320-disks in RAID-5 for storage. It's an IBM x-series 346, dual Xeon 3.2 Ghz and eight gigabytes of memory. They're just not very visually impressive. These are small images, but since they're rackmounted machines (and haven't been setup just yet) I don't really see much purpose with high-resolution photos. These three new bad boys will take over the duties of my homemachine, which will be retired and shut down. I'm still running the same machine, but recently I decided to go through an upgrade. I posted in this thread a long, long time ago.
