Timothy, it sounds like a good rack to enclose. I would still be careful about the project. Add the computers into it one at a time for instance. One thing...

It is an error to rely upon RAID as your only backup strategy. Since you have a recordable DVD, I would suggest doing a regular backup of any critical data...

Hi John: I appreciate your comment: "PCs have two air paths these days: front to back back to back not my favorite type of case!" I became aware of this...
Well Maher, there are certainly a few of variations on these themes these days, and I have had enough computers to know about most of them. I have chopped and...

Hello All I want to build myself a Quiet Entry Level Sever for my home, Quiet being the most important factor. Since I've never built a sever before my...
First off; welcome to the wondrous world of home servers :-) Second; what are your requirements in regards to functionality; do you intend to use it mainly for...
Ideally, a server is quite a different animal than a workstation. In many cases, you can also set it up in a location that will not make the quiet aspect so...
Well I agree wholeheartedly with Aprazeth that you have to be clear about what you are trying to achieve with a server. You do not say if this is a Home...

If you stick it in a small room, think about the heat and how it will get out. Try sticking a 20-25" TV or 2 in the room and see how much the temp rises. And...
As I said earlier, it depends totally upon what you want the server to do. What you have would be classed as a form of server appliance and such a solution may...
