G'day,
I'm going to be building a new home/small office server soon, with ~24GB
or so of RAM and hopefully 6-8 TB of ZFS mirrored storage, as well as a
couple of 1TB HDDs for a ZFS root partition.
It's going to run Virtualbox to virtualise a Linux (CentOS 5) and
Windows SBS 2003 server on
I have a couple of all-in-one server OI+Vbox servers running.
Supermicro X8DTH-6F
32GB of RAM
Seagate Constellation ES SAS Drives (both 1 and 2TB drives; the
SEAGATE-ST1000NM0001 is the 1TB version).
These have been really solid boxes and I am virtualizing Ws08R2, centos
(running a pbx) and
12 matches
