oh wait really!? I didn't see that anywhere. Would you mind linking? EDIT: Sorry My mistake, I meant the HAF 932 I edited the initial post.

6x 5.25 - Five and a quarter bay - not 3.5 bays. : ) Thanks for the suggestion thou

I do not. In my defense, there aren't a lot of cases with many 5.25 bays nowadays because most people don't have any use for more than one.

Hi, I'm currently for a 5.25 6 bay case. The reason being is that I have two 5x3.5 rail-less hot swap bays. I need 3 5.25 bays for each of the hot swap devices. I was thinking of just purchasing server hardware. Unfortunately thou, most of the server chassis costs $200 or more. So I thought I would look for enthusiast-consumer grade PC cases instead. Any suggestions? I currently have the Silverstone RV02 and Coolmaster Haf 932. However, I would like to know if there are any cheaper options. The Haf 932 goes for around 160, the RV02 for 140 (I think....) Thank you in advance, Michael L.

This shouldn't be difficult to figure out. Above your tabs labeled "Global", "Classic", "Administration", "Help", toggle the icon that looks kind of like a key. That is button to toggle the RCON Section. After that, A section below will pop up, allowing you to type in your RCON password and test connection. At the very bottom, are a few tabs, one of which is labeled "Console". That is where you type in your commands.

Looks okay to me Did you test it out?

I'm saying your server should have that functionality enabled. Try connecting to it with HLSW. Just make sure your configuration has RCON enabled.

Well, hlsw is a client software for connecting to RCON enabled servers. Try it out on your server and see if you can connect. You should be at this page.

None of this stuff is plug and play and requires some learning. You also need to adapt its instructions to your own situation. The link I posted mentions a few details about setting up an RCON server to connect to your gmod server running on windows. I may be wrong, but I think gmod - being that it is Source - has the built-in functionality of an RCON server packaged together. So, if that's the case, you only need an RCON client software on your PC to connect to your server. Otherwise, if you want to setup your server on a Linux distro or the like, a service called SSH needs to be enabled on your server. I am not sure how to do it on centOS, but there are plenty of resources online to show you how. Just gotta spend some time doing some research

It is highly recommended that ANY FreeNAS system has ECC memory running to prevent silent bit corruption and more. Mission critical or not, any system is just as susceptible to errors as enterprise systems. So, if in the event, one of your disks fails, you could end up resilvering your array with these errors and corrupting your whole zPool. I think this explains it every well. Just because FreeNAS is working with non-ECC, doesn't mean it is perfectly safe to use. And what's to prevent that ram from going bad down the line and corrupting your data without your knowledge?

Side note: FreeNAS needs ECC RAM. His repurposed PC doesn't use ECC Ram.

Just go with a brand name you trust. I think for many on the LTT Forums, Synology is a common choice.

Try adding a nameserver? I think your NAS box is having a hard time finding the internet cause it cannot find a domain name server. IE: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

I highly advise against running FreeNAS on 32bit hardware, let alone an intel Atom. Even if you had gotten FreeNAS running on 32bit, you would not be able to use ZFS as it inherently doesn't not support 32bit. If you have read over the FreeNAS minimum requirement, you would of noticed that you should have a recommended minimum of 8GB. I would recommend Nas4Free. It has a min requirement of 4GB and is similar to FreeNAS. If you're looking to try FreeNAS in this manner, the best way to do it is by running it in a VM.
