That looks ace!
Why not a TRUE Black though? Would've looked so much better and performance and price are identical.

They were overinflated, price-wise, at launch (then again, isn't everything )

It could be that he purchased the TRUE before the prices equalised.


Looks awesome

Nice and tidy

After some sleeving, this is my rig atm=)

I really love this one. Looks amazing!

This mobo would look a monster in there though

HO HO HO!
My new HD 5870 CrossFireX setup!

Well, here are some pics of my latest rig, it's still far from finished, but it's up and running just nicely.













As you can see from the pics my camera is pants, it's a 10mp Kodak V1003, and whenever I try taking images without the flash to show off all the case lighting the pics come out blurry.

I need to get a mini tripod and a decent DSLR for taking professional images as these pics don't do the rig any justice at all.

I've also done a few other little things since this pics were taken like tidy up the SATA cable that twirls round the res as I thought it looked stupid!!!

It loks a little bit more tidier now.

Cable management done!

That is a bloody beautiful computer, I only wish I had the patience to do something as elegant as that...

I actually put all this together for a different thread but I thought I may as well post it here as well.

WHS





1 x 1TB and 2 x 1.5TB WD Green Drives in Hotswap Trays





Another 1TB USB Disk (for backups) and a 500GB USB Disk (for more backups )



2 x 1GB Corsair XMS Pro DDR2
1 x AMD X3 720
420W Tagan 2Force PSU (none modular)
Asus M3N78-VM mATX Motherboard
Lian-Li PC-V350B







Rackmount 3Com Gbit Switch



Looks really dusty under the flash!

As my server is not in easy site of my workspace I like to have some way to monitor it so I use an Alphacool USB display on my desk, this gives me up to the second info on bandwidth in and out, disk usage, CPU load, HDD temps, CPU / motherboard temps







And I also have user login logs sent to my blackberry to keep an eye on who is logging in when and from where.

Remote login from within the network





Remote login from outside the network



I use WOL with WMC plugins to send the magic packet and wake the server, I can also wake it via my routers web interface if I want to login from outside the network. 15 mins of no activity eg no active logins or data stream and it sleeps again.

If anyone is interested the cooler is a Scythe Ninja Mini and it can only be fitted once the board is inside the case (A total nightmare)

[Behemoth]

Thats a cool looking bit of kit as a server you've got there mate I keep thinking about building a server but I've got two porblems with that, firstly I don't have any hardware left over which I can rely on to work for more than 5 minutes and I'd struggle for somewhre to put it.

Id be quite interested in some more details about this whole WHS/WOL/Magic packet business if you would be happy to endulge me in it sometime?

With Blitzen on this one.

I know magic packets as they are called are used when systems/ devices are set to wake on lan..but thats about it

[Jay]

WOL is pretty easy to setup

install this plugin on your MediaCentre

http://mediacenterguides.org/node/200

get the MAC of your server's network card and add it to the settings.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<settings>
  <macaddress>xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx</macaddress>
  <port>7</port>
  <popup>true</popup>
</settings>

setup your network card for magic packet



and away you go, when you load mediacentre this will also launch the WOLPacket and send the magic packet to start your WHS (or what ever it is you want to start)

[Biscuit]

I dont use media centre i tend to use XBMC but i will have to have a play tonight

[Jay]

well you could use a batch file and this
