RE: ServerWorks HT1000 vs nVidia
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 20 Dec '05

Serverworks makes awesome chipsets, but you talked about doing Raid. You might want the second board with the built-in Raid option. The only problem I see with your second board is the Marvell NIC chipset. Not saying they are all bad, but I had lots of problems with a couple of models of Gateway computers with Marvell NICs. Check to see if there are any Linux driver problems with those. Otherwise, either one should be fine. -----Original Message----- From: On Behalf Of hanasaki Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 7:23 PM Any input/thoughts on the below two motherboards and quality, performance etc of the chipsets and Linux support? thanks ========================== CPU: Supports AMD Opteron 1** 939 pin(dual-core OK) Memory: Up to 8GB of DDR/400, 333 unbuffered in 4 DIMMS.

Thinkpad T23 memory?
by curt 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Just wondering if anyone in the lug would have some 256MB or 512MB 144pin pc133 sodimms I could use to upgrade my newly acquired T23. Description said 256MB and of course it arrives with 2 /128MB instead of 1/256 and 1/available slot Rats....Cheap would be great, free would be awesome!!! I seem to recall Bill saying he had a whole pile of old memory laying around. I'll be at next tuesday's meeting.... Thanks

howto build a 1u linux box w/ hotswap SATA - info and info request...
by hanasaki 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

any suggestions on specific parts for this? Basically what I need is: Pref AMD X2 although Intel is 'ok' 2 SATAII hot swap - or at least external bay removable - these will be mirrored <maybe 3 drives and Raid5 - suggestions?> <possibly the boot drive in a bay also> 10/100/1000 Ethernet 1 gig RAM some basic onboard video costs? Any suggestions for alternatives are also welcome. This is going to be a colo box for some basic web hosting, email and a bit of ASP(app service provider). The 1U is based on the cost of colo space. also... All linux raid or mobo hw raid? get a separate card? what is the decision criteria? With what types of Raid (kernel, mobo, card) is it possible boot off the raid vs need a boot drive Any suggestions on colo space and costs? all hardware needs to run under linux kernel 2.6 FYI: I need to get the hardware purchased very soon.

I forgot to ask why you wanted a 1U. Are you actually putting this in a rack somewhere?

recycling a ATX mobo into a server...

Thinking of recycling a socketA ATX mobo into a 1U server. Any thoughts on this? Is it possible? Will it end up costing more than just buying a 1U server? What hardware would it take and cost to do this and have three HD in it. === Drives 1. boot and the OS 2,3 Linux Software mirrored - hot swap thanks

Depends if you already have the drives and other hardware. A 1U or 2U case can cost from $250-500. In a 1U, you may need to get low-profile RAM or CPU heatsink/fan to gain enough space to fit everything in the case. Those are really the only specialty parts in a 1U. You may want to add more case fans, depending on what comes with your case and the open fan slots available. As you add more drives, you need more air flow. That said, hear this. I would not necessarily run most business critical functions off something like this. For personal use it's cool, but you don't want to have heat-related lockups in a business because you went cheap. There is such a thing as server-class motherboards. They are built a bit tougher and with better components, but they cost about 2-3x your average motherboard.
