Hello Everybody,
I just purchased the
Dell C6105 6x 6 Core 1.8Ghz CPU 144GB Server for $500 after delivery.
Should get it in two weeks or so....
So, my plan for this chassis is to consolidate a bunch of other smaller servers, and hopefully my NAS (Xpenology).
I know I'll have to purchase a Riser card, and 9 x HDD Caddies. My current NAS has 6x hdd's running in what is essentially Raid 6, but I'd prefer to to upgrade that to 10 drives with dual hot spares.
Two nodes will be ESXi 5.5, and I'm hoping to throw in two 4port 1Gig Nics (or maybe dual 10Gb SFP cards... if the price is right).
I've got a M1015 controller, does anybody know if this will fit in the case ? (I'm thinking Node3 (nearest the PSU), which should give more room for the card in theory)....
Also, has anybody tried installing the second power supply ?
