matexoza got a reaction from Joe Bennett in 2 CPUs, and 1 Stick of RAM?
its not just a yes or no really more of a case by case i.e some boards have the sections split for ram 2 sets of ram slots for each cpu your board seems to have only one (was a bad pic didn't look to deep) assuming there's 1 set for 2 cpus id assume it would work but this is case by case really

You Should have modded a xeon x5460/x5470 or e5450 CPU Cheap ( costs Ranges from $20-$30 ), as you have the motherboard which is supported by lga 771 mod.
By doing that its gonan provide you the performance of Core i5-4th gen CPUs ( if you OC xeon to 4GHZ, which is quiet easy, if u have decent CPU Cooler, as you have 1 ).
I'm Running one.
CPU: x5460 ( costs $20 )
CPU COOLER: Xigmatek Loki SD 963 ( Costs $15 )
MOBO: Asus P5K-Premium ( $21 )
RAM: 8GB ( $24)
GPU: GTX 960 ( $204 ) [ I bought it new before doing this mod ]
PSU 550W + Chase ( $21 )

i agree with waq i love any kind of gaming rig built on server hardware the things work incredibly well my little girls been jamming on one for a while now
i would have oc it as well it doesn't matter if its for someone else or not really they spent the money might as well have the fun of pushing it to its limits

matexoza got a reaction from leadeater in IBM System Storage DS8000
yes that is what i was meaning after spending the last 4 hours reading up on everything you posted in the last post i kind of figured out that wouldn't work for
me
ill read up on the setup for fc hba and sas hba (takes me a bit to catch up with you lol)
ty for all the help just reading about all this has been so much fun i got the job at this place just so i could play with all of their stuff and they have not disappointed at all lol i have a flat of laptops stacked to my waist to mess with today (I'm 6'3) will keep you posted on how it's working out =)

people don't all ways pay them to take the stuff most of the time they just take it break it down and sell the metals as scrap
my job there is to try to fix/resell as much as im able to also sometimes they buy the stuff in large numbers from people
they also have these machines that like grind down wires from everything and collects the copper from the wires comes out like a big ass box of tiny pieces of copper its pretty cool mostly i fix/upgrade test laptops and desktops (they have boxes of ram from ddr2-ddr3
say you get a core 2 duo laptop that has 1-2 gigs of ram ill upgrade that to 4-8 gigs depending on the type of cpu anything i3 or better gets 8 gigs anything core 2 duo or around that grade gets 4 gigs (got in a ton of laptops i was going to fix but they took all the ram cpus and heatsinks out of them)
as for the sas controllers this was my original plan the problem with doing it this way isn't so much that they can't wipe them when there set up this way the problem is when you run dban on hdd's they tend to fail very often(also got to think its a scrap warehouse more or less so alot of them are bad anyway)
and dban while it runs very well on a single drive its pretty tuff to use when you need to wipe 1000 drives basically it has no kind of out putt that shows which drive failed when hooked up to more then one drive so the problem at first was just to move them from a 1 drive at a time setup to a multidrive setup
the only way i could come up with to manage this was to move from a standard desktop to wipe to a server system to wipe them
what makes the servers more suitable for this is the fact that the controllers/drive trays have indicator lights on them that will show when the drives fail allowing us to locate the bad drives (at the start of this post we only had 1 server running this way with a 4 bay capacity)
now the idea of using this sas storage system wasn't so much that we wanted to use them
(didn't know what they was at first figured them out a good bit with the help of the awesome guy in this post)
but that we needed more drive bays to wipe and you are in fact correct the idea of using these for what we needed was not the best way for us to go about it
however the servers are still very much imo still the way to go
that being said when we switched to a server setup we also needed better control over the presses and dban just didn't allow this for us
so we also had to find a better way to manage this and the best way i could come up with for this was to switch to a parted magic(linux distro for pc diagnostics) running a version of nwipe (a dban derivative with added hardware support might be other stuff added 2 not shore) which also allowed me to run dban from a single terminal with as many copies as i wanted to run at a time in a very nicely laid out ui
so that is the way we are going to go with the setup we picked out this nice 8 port switch a few 2u dell PowerEdge servers with 8 drive bays
so the new setup will have 3 of them servers starting out hooked to a switch in the office with the kvm linked to a screen keyboard and mouse on the desk
with future upgradeability from 24 drives upwards of 100 should we so chose to go bigger
while still allowing us to make sure 100% that it is in fact wiping the drives
(we also have this machine that breaks drives in half should the data need to 100% without a doubt be destroyed the drives that this is requested for are no wiped or reused)
all this started from me not liking the 4 dell desktops they had setup when i first started there
hope that wasnt to long for you guys got carried away lol but this has been a 3 week prosses for me lol

All you would need is Fibre Channel HBAs, and Fibre Channel switches if you need a lot of servers to connect. Blade Chassis usually have unified/shared I/O for the blades but because of this you need the specific FC HBA that would fit in the blade chassis you have.
This is an extremely short overview of how to use this type of storage array, I would suggest going on a training course for it.

matexoza reacted to Lurick in home linux based game servers and connections
Are these others going to be people you know or will it be a community type deal?
The biggest problem is if you get some asshole who wants to DDoS you then you can't really do anything to stop them since you have a single pipe coming into your house. Even with a business class line it's still one line and nothing to prevent the DDoS, with hosted servers you have DDoS protection as they have many pipes and very large pipes which are much harder for some script kid/asshole to fill up.

matexoza got a reaction from Herbz in High Internet Speeds, but keeps dropping out in games
i live in cincinnati ohio and i have cincinnati bell fioptics and was getting the same thing when i first got there internet the issue came in 2 parts
(part one) biggest issue was the modem they handed out for free with your net was compleat trash droped like every single day was insane
the fix was to upgrade to a new router (don't need the modem with fiber apparently the little light box thing on the wall is the modem)
i got this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320174
best router ever 100% stopped the dropping on its own
second problem i had was just there network to many people in my area all have gigabyte net and there still new to the area so i called and called and called every day till they fixed there crap
you might not have the second issue but that first one is a great start
