just finished up doing some maintenance while my brothers were out - Dalian one of the microservers will only connect at 100M fro some reason, needs a new NIC, so ordered that and i'll fit it tomorrow.

Opened up the UPS and tore off the fucking alarm beeper. recharging it separately just now in case it burst into flames or something, then tomorrow ill rejig things so its only across file servers. stupid damn thing was beeping and complaining if load spiked over 250W, pita when it happens at 3am.

Look into the ethernet port, check for bent pins. If a pin is bent, gigabit ports fall back to 4-wire 100M.

Meh, it's a fucking box with standardised dimensions, do you want a perspex window or mesh because those are the only things you really get to choose unless you've got a bunch of money to spend (which you don't for a home server setup)

Buy a used one, mine is immaculate and cost me £50($66) off gumtree, can't remember the brand but i looked it up at the time and its over £400($530) new. If you live in/near a city there are plenty of rapidly expanding small businesses that upgrade and need to get rid of near new stuff
