It's a fileserver in a box - just add power and drives!
Somewhat seriously: I upgraded my home VM/lab machine recently so I'm selling the guts of the old one. Components (with links):
Somewhat seriously: I upgraded my home VM/lab machine recently so I'm selling the guts of the old one. Components (with links):
- CPU: Intel E5-2630L v2 CPU. 6 core / 12 thread.
- Memory: (qty 8) 4GB Micron PC3-10600 ECC DRAM. 32GB total.
- Mobo: Supermicro X9SRA motherboard: 8 DDR3 slots, 10 SATA ports, USB3, 2xGigE, onboard audio (I did lots of transcoding and wanted to be able to test locally...)
- Video: MSI Radeon 4350 video card, 512MB memory. Runs great natively under Linux, passthru to a windows guest also works should such things matter to you....
- Cooler: stock Intel low-profile with PWM fan control. It's only a 60W CPU so it runs REALLY cool - I had the fan set to the lowest speed and even running bench/stress tests I couldn't get it to warm up past about 60C.
