StarTech.com 5.25in Trayless Hot Swap Mobile Rack for 3.5in Hard Drive

 

Got two of those for my linux server

 

 

and two 4TB HDD to go into them.

 

photos of the above:

 

The hotswap bays are really nice addition to the server for easily making rotating system backups.  I rotate through my bare HDDs each time I make a backup.  If a backup is damaged or corrupted (ie if backup HDD fails) I can go to the next most recent backup HDD to restore.  The hotswap bays were very inexpensive too at about $18 USD each (made by StarTech).

 

The bays are not enclosed though so I must keep system wires (PSU cables etc) away from the bay area.  Else, if you remove a HDD a cable could dangle into the slot area, preventing me from inserting the HDD next time.  But that is not a real big deal if using proper cable management to keep that from being an annoyance.

*note:  not a bad setup considering this case is probably the cheapest antec makes (think I paid about $20 for it in 2013).

I got some furballs, and something that will eventually get clogged with those furballs. I don't care though, they're cute. Penelope is the white one, and Shadow is the dark one :wub:

And ordered a few fans for when I get my loop up and running

 

They showed up in this box, but I promise, it isn't from CoolerMaster ;)

The HP DC7800 seller messed up, I'd paid him about 53USD, but it came with 2.5GB of mixed RAM instead of stated 4GB, and a 250GB HDD instead of a 500GB one. I'd messaged him and he admitted his oversight. He'd either refund some money to compensate for the lower RAM and HDD size, or he'd check his inventory of spare parts to find replacements. I don't mind either way, since I have a spare pair of low profile 2x 2GB PC2 DDR2 6400 KVR which I'd installed. Anyway, I've already installed 64bit Vista and am in the process of updating it.....

Hope that one doesn't run as bad as this DC5750 I'm on right now. 1GB of RAM, 80GB Barracuda, Athlon 64 X2 4600+, and Vista HP 64-bit. Thing runs slooooow. At least the graphics chip is actually supported by Vista, since drivers (I'm looking at you, Linux).

About $135 after shipping, and I also get a $20 e-giftcard for NCIX, which should be here next week. Bringing the total down to about $115 :D

So I went to a few flea markets yesterday and bought some stuff.

This includes some Pokemon cards, but also some games.

Enough rambling, here are some pics:

 Altogether I did not spend more than 20 euros on all this stuff :)

 

Last time I saw mine, or any other Pokemon cards was 2003. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

It's not bad'ish, the E8300 + 4GB RAM helps. a lot! I saw the original specs, only 1GB RAM and a 160GB HDD, so having a 250GB WD Blue HDD is already an upgrade. ;)  I've installed 64bit Vista on it and slowly updating it, just updated to SP1......got a ways to go still with my slow as molasses wireless dongle 'broadband'.

That has almost the exact same layout as a Lenovo I had, odd.

Bought wireless Microsoft AIO Media keyboard to complete my bedside audio and movie rig. I like the HP DC7800 because it's almost dead quiet compared to my other rigs, perfect for listening to music. I'm using it as a bedtime movie machine as well, I'd play a ripped TV/movie series and watch till I sleep. I used to do this with a laptop, but my trusty old laptop is on its last legs I think. Anyway, time to have some fun with this rig....

The one my stepdad has is only quiet without the CPU fan plugged in and the PSU fan unhooked for mobo control. :P Actually ran it passive with the lid on and max temp was like 73C.
