    can someone shed a light on using Asterisks at home?

    Ok, I'm not sure what does it mean "dial into PBX and then dial out". It's essentially what it is, I don't know how it worked with your VOIP provider? With Asterisk (and I'm not guru by any means) the way I understand this would work is: 1. You dial into Asterisk (your public #) 2. Asterisk...

    Full height rack - Bolt to wall or floor?

    Minimal colocation build ideas wanted

    Power included, this is what he said. No specs/limits listed. Ok, router is a must then. I have good experience with Mikrotiks, seems like this will do all: a. 10 ports (for model I'm using). 9 ports enough for 2 servers (2+2 really) b. VPN to get to IPMI/RDP c. Port forwarding for services...

    can someone shed a light on using Asterisks at home?

    I run Asterisk (plain) on CentOS. Learned Linux AND Asterisk together, was fun. At the end, just follow "Asterisk. The definite guide" and you will be fine. There is only handful of config files you will need to touch to add line or tweak dial plan. I did check wrappers (like FreePBX) and didn't...

    Minimal colocation build ideas wanted

    I'd like to get opinions/suggestions on building minimal colocation hardware set. Minimal is in terms of rack space, our colo center charges $50/U, I'm not ready for 1/2 rack. But can do 2-3 Us. Also, datacenter is 24/7 15 minutes from home, so I'm not sure if spare server need to be in a rack...

    What is this bolt on Intel chassis handle for?

    For pedestal it's 2 pieces mounted to main frame, U-shaped tapered bezel and door itself. My server looks almost like yours now :)

    What is this bolt on Intel chassis handle for?

    Yep. If I remove my door and small frame on right - it will be exactly like this. Just ordered that big door from eBay, thank you for link! It looks like that door will cover whole front and only lights will show through opening, right? And yes, main frame is the same between pedestal chassis...

    What is this bolt on Intel chassis handle for?

    Actually, it came with exactly same frame! Tapered part on a right is something I transferred from old frame. I transferred tapered part, hinges for door and door. But it looks identical to what I had. Yes, if I remove this tapered part then right side will work. But I wonder if those aluminum...

    What is this bolt on Intel chassis handle for?

    Need more help. OK, I bought AUPBEZEL4UF kit. There was only bezel frame and those handles. Frame was the same as I had (now that I got it I can see). I did turn control panel sideways so it's horizontal. I was able to transfer door (left) and trim (right) Now if I try to put those metal...

    What is this bolt on Intel chassis handle for?

    Bought kit to convert chassis from pedestal to rack. Those 2 handles came in a kit. I see how to bolt them on, but I don't understand what those knobs with bolts for? There is no holes in plastic bezel on my chassis.

    $199.99 FS: Intel DC S3700 800GB Model SSDSC2BA800G301 (Newegg,eBay)

    Don't know.... Honestly - I use only SSD's for last 5 years in anything I have. I have 3.5 spinners only on my home NAS for media/files. Everything else get's SSD. They faster, use less electricity and more reliable. I don't need much storage so cost is not much of an issue.
