just picked up these two DL380 G5s today.

they are identical with 2x xeon 5345, 32gb DDR2 ram, and 8x 72gb 10k sas disks i put in raid 5.

currently setting them up. i must admit though, i don't really know what to do with them since my poweredge T110-2 is more than enough to handle my server needs with only 4gb ram and 4x300gb 15k sas in raid 0 (with external backup ofc.)

any ideas?

i also got a bunch of extra disks with the servers aswell as a metric shit load of 1 and 2gb ddr2 ECC ram an extra psu, cables and two switches. they are 10/100 though, so they are useless. also got a storageworks MSL2024 with it. no tapes though.

imma throw out the tape library and the switches, but what to do with the servers? the only thing even remotely useful i can come up with is game servers.

It does okay for what it is

2TB NAS(torrent and winbackup)
1.6Ghz 2GB netbook (router logs and ftp)
Router (DD-WRT QoS, works well)

Next upgrade might be a pfsense netbook (with USB>ETH) for some sort of cache system.

holy shit that internet speed.

jesus m8. is that why you are logging your router? to identify and kill people who saturate your connection?

I don't read it often, but sometimes the router WiFi drops randomly, so I have a look to see what caused it. Apparently some other DDWRT routers do this.

>holy shit that internet speed.
yeah, this is about average in Australia, we were going to get 100mbps FTTP but then politics happened and its a huge mess now.

What is a good entrylevel homeserver (not loud) with upgrade potential?
My current options are
- HP ml10v2
- Dell T20
- Lenovo T140

Will install Proxmox and 2/3 VMs

Need recommendations for an ATX case to build a new hobbyist home server in. 6x 3.5" drives minimum. Rackmount or tower. Preferrably not ugly. Halp

Home Server fags = fat pedo weeaboo hoarders leeching off mommys electricity bills

>>55850553
wrong, my boss pays the electricity bill.
and rent is $150 everything included except for internet (the place has wifi but slow and no router access). the only reason i even pay rent is for legal reasons.

though id take slower speed for some fucking stability. between 7pm and midnight, the ping skyrockets into the 500ms range and drops packets like a motherfucker

this is mine btw.

well the server is 500 miles away.

i also live in the middle of nowhere. like. close to a big city, yet so far out on the country that its a miracle they put down fiber. especially because the last 5km is private road with only 6 houses on it.
