I think it would be a great idea for ServeTheHome forums to have a place to talk about outfitting your home with technology controlling of power, security, music, etc. Seems like an no-brainer to me.
Hey everyone, I am looking for advice/sanity check on this project.
My goals are to build a C6100 with:
VMWare ESX cluster lab with VERY low utilization
As quiet as reasonably possible
As cool as reasonably possible
As energy efficient as reasonably possible
Spend as little money as reasonably...
At the very minimum I need 4x "barebone nodes" (without CPU or RAM) for Dell C6100 chassis with the following requirements:
Service tags that work on support.dell.com
Mezzanine card cutouts
So whether you want to sell 4 barebone nodes, or 4 fully loaded nodes, or an entire Dell C6100...
I'm not particularly looking for advice to get the C6100 working for me, I will start a new thread if that is the case. I've been a little frustrated with my C6100 so I'm looking for suggestions on alternatives.
I've hardly been able to experiment with my C6100 at all because of the noise it...

I am seeking advice on what I should do. I currently have one box (check my sig). It is set up in a "all in one box solution" which would never be found in a datacenter, but its great for a home lab for obvious reasons. It's been running solid for a while. I'm just bored and ready to try...
I am planning out building a MicroATX or Mini-ITX system that fits in a 1U Chassis. It should be silent or near silent (15dBA). And YES, I understand the challenge with building anything silent when it comes to rackmountable equipment. That's what makes it fun for me. I have to put this thing...
Looking for a Sandy Bridge Server Combo (Socket 1155 Motherboard, Xeon CPU, and ECC UDIMMs) I will also consider a socket 1156 CPU because I already have a Supermicro X8SIL-F.
So let me know what you have. Thanks...
