I asked Joe @ Joe's Datacenter about their mid-tower colocation. He said this case, so long as it is under 4A (power supply cannot handle 4A anyway) it would be accepted. I would certainly expect this to be lower end colo but it does put a box outside of your home/ office network inexpensively.
I've been in contact with Joe's recently, and it's def. bargain basement in terms of price and offerings but the reviews are strong for what you get.
These are starting to his the channel. So it could be soon. Now the question is if they are going to buy these boxes.Can we expect to see Leaseweb, OVH, Hetzner etc deploy D-1500 soon? I want one
I wonder if ASUS is going to do something with these Xeons similar to their 1U hadoop chassis for the e3 Xeons. 12x LFF hot swap and 2x SFF hot swap in 1U!
I never could get those things other than plex to play right. Do you have a guide you used that works? I'd love to something that combs torrents or newsgroups for content I've specified.
I don't have any guides, but my setup uses all synology applications that run on the NAS VM. It takes some research, and tinkering around. The biggest issue is each application creates it's own username, and for whatever reason, they use user ID's below a certain #, so the users become invisible to DSM, making it difficult to control permissions. There's a few different methods for sorting it out, and it involves using console commands to get everything right so file and folder permissions work correctly. I personally create a new group; ex; media, or apps, and then using some console commands (that I forget offhand), manually add the hidden app users to the new group I created. Then from within DSM I can control permissions via the group.
I should be getting the ASRock Rack one soon. It is actually being held up by the DDR4 SODIMMs for the mITX LGA2011-3 board it will be shipped with. Those SODIMMs are very hard to find right now.
I think it will come out after some of the D-154x variants which we should be seeing soon.
