I picked up one of these cases (very close to this version) that was configured as a JBOD array. so it does not have the 2 drive bays at the rear. I thought about adding one in, but decided it wasn't worth the effort for something I might not even use. That said, I did cram the same board in the...

I had to click the check box that says apply 23% discount and then it worked.

dang, I need three more... le sigh

step one would be finding out what IP address it pulls for IPMI. step two is obviously logging into it with whatever username and password is set on it. if it is the default. before March 2020 admin/password. After that admin/last 11 char of the MB serial number. Good luck

Where are you going to be flashing it from? Linux, esxi, Windows? Amazingly we still have a dl160 g9 still on our support contract. Apparently I can get my hands on just about every other download for this series, but not the BIOS? That is super odd. I guess we declined that for some reason.

Mine showed up this morning. waiting on memory and drive for it to come in. I can probably have a wifi 6 module at my office I can borrow for testing.

There are days I hate this place... so I bought one. no idea what I will use it for

Got mine unboxed and setup. Colors are nice and bright. I spend most of my day working on other systems remotely and only light gaming. now I am wishing I had bought to of these

I have a older than dirt VA panel as my second screen. so this will do nicely for my home setup

I ran mine until the clock drift caused issues since it was doing firewall duty. Battery replacement didn't solve. So I chucked into recycling. wasn't worth the time to troubleshoot it

I removed the fan wall in mine and wedged 3 120mm fans into the space using the PSU cage as the other point. ziptied everything in place. The fanse are NF-P12. so not whisper quiet. But moves plenty of air over the drives and the cards in the system. The drives make the most noise anyhow.

I took a different route putting in Noctua on my 826. Just cut out that dimple on the fan cage. Then I can reuse the fans easily down the road. Never crossed my mind to cut the ears on the fan though.

Ehh, I bought the last one I think. I've been eying these to put another system together for messing around with from other parts, and this brings me down to just needing a cpu at this point. Or use my older e5 v1 board

you can do a iscsi setup on the second computer/nas and connect to it over the network. it will the present as a physical drive on your desktop. two connectx cards and dac cable will let you run at full speed line speed as well. To get even more nitty gritty, assign them an IP on a different...

I have one of these just sitting in a itx box right now: X10SDV-4C-TLN2F if you are interested in it, I would be willing to let it go fairly cheap
