  1. Funny
    TH Gamer reacted to DeagleMaster in Toilet paper to clean inside the pc. Now its full of small paper particles.   
    I needed to clean something inside my pc, so I used toilet paper. Now my pc is filled with dust sized particles of toilet paper. Can this damage anything?

    8400, because 8100 isnt all that different to a 7600.

    Choked front panel, limited radiator options. I would pay 30 more and get a meshify C (of course unrelated to the fact that I have a Meshify C custom loop build!)

    Here's my home server I built about a year ago
     
    Hardware
    CASE: Fractal Define R5
    PSU: Seasonic G-series 450w 80+ Gold
    MB: Supermicro X10SAE
    CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1226v3
    HS: Stock copper-base Intel Heat sink
    RAM: Kingston 32 GB DDR3 1600 ECC
    RAID Card: LSI 9271-8i
    SSDs: 2x Intel DC3500 120GB
    HDDs: 8x 4TB Western Digital Red
     
    Software and Configuration
    My server is running Windows Server 2012 R2 OS. I am using 2 RAID configurations, 2x Intel DC3500 SSD in RAID 1 for the OS and apps, RAID 50 for mass storage using 8x WD Red HDDs. My total raw storage capacity for the HDDs is 32 TB and 21.8 TB after RAID 50 configuration.
     
    Usage
    I use this server primarily to store all my media, software and backups. I run Plex media server to stream content to devices on the network. I do some virtualization for web development and game servers. The Define R5 case has sound deadening panels and 3x 140mm fans (2x front, 1x rare) so the server runs very quiet, I even sleep in the same room as the server without issue!
     
    Backup
    I currently have no backup in place however I am planning to build a second box based on Seagate's 8TB archive HDDs.
