Welcome to the server photos thread. In this thread you may post pics of your server.

Please be mindful of our members on dial-up and try to keep the dimensions of the pics and the size of the files to a respectable size for 1024 x 768 viewers. Please refrain from quoting images in your replies.

I will also ask that you link to images on your own space, as much as possible.

The usual forum rules also apply.

The last thread can be found here.

It resides next to an Xbox 360 Elite. Noise-wise it's about the same as an Xbox 360s and nowhere near as bad as it's shelf-dwelling sibling.

Recently added an extra HDD to offload the OS, Active Directory & system ISO images onto:

Please tell me you dont have these at home, and if you do WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THEM?

But by far the most badass rack server setup.

All the other tower server setups, I like.

Ill post my rack soon, gotta actually get good pictures

My 6Tb Home Server. Serves all the xbox360's in the house and laptops. Neighbors connect to my wifi to stream from it... They can't get to the internet through my wifi connection.




I didn't do much cable management. Drives are all cool so I'm not going to bother.
