Back to more modest hardware I think...

Old server on the top - a Seagate GoFlex Net running Arch Linux ARM and underneath is it's replacement - HP ProLiant N40L Microserver running WHS2011.

Not yet quite finished setting up the N40L, but getting there. And I couldn't really turn say no - ?116 from Amazon after ?100 cash back, which I've just got my confirmation email for.

  • USB 2.0 Ports:
    Seven (7) USB 2.0 ports: 4 front , 2 rear, 1 internal (for tape)

Many use the internal one for holding the OS, be it unraid, esxi, etc.

Damn, if only I was allowed a phone/camera into my place of work.......now that'd be server porn.

Datacentre baby...wall to wall LEDs and air con :)

I don't have a home sever yet. Was contemplating what to look at for a budget streamer. Currently my Quad Core PC is using Serviio to stream everything to anyone in the house, meaning it's on 24/7 which is a pain.

Love to look at a media server, put in the loft, and have a nifty WOL script run when somebody wants to access the streamer. It's a dream..........

Why not just set up a NAS box... job done -.-

Server 2012

Testing on VM before I put it on the HTPC/Server after I get the new SSD+HDDs for it.

waaaaah! I can't install hyper-v from within a vm!!! I wanted to inception!!!

My place was built in the mid-60's and has an interesting room down the basement, very cool, no windows, pretty perfect for a) wine and b) servers.

I used existing conduit in the wall from an old central vacuum system to run cat6 throughout. I'm working on re-cabling and making everything pretty again, but for the most part this has been untouched for about 2 years.

Here's a shot of the wall-mounted 12U rack:

From top to bottom,

-TrendNet cat6 patch panel

-D-Link DGS-1224T Smart Switch (great switch actually, full gigabit, not a bad price.)

-Router: Ubiquiti RouterStation Pro + 2x Atheros AR9160 MIMO 3T3R MiniPCI radios (one on 2.4GHz, one on 5GHz, the coax you see to the right goes out to a patch antenna aimed at the remainder of the house.), OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment

-Comcast Business Class Gateway (SMC D3G)

-Media Center: Norco RPC-230, Intel DH77DF, Core i5 2500K, RocketRAID 2720, 4x Seagate 3TB disks (RAID 5), Ceton InfiniTV 4, Windows 7 Ultimate

-Server, Norco RPC-430, MSI P55-GD55, Core i7 860, 4x WD 2TB disks (two RAID 1 arrays), Windows Server 2008 R2

-CyberPower PDU

I'm working on getting this little project in place, this is an Atom DN2800MT that will run Windows Server 2012 and become my super-low-power-almost-silent domain controller.

Still in the test-fit phase but should have this guy up soon.

Nice wire management on the Atom. What PSU are you using? Looks like a pico-psu, but I can't see the tiny pcb on it.

This board is a bit strange, but it doesn't require the picoPSU. You simply plug in a DC converter and go, power is distributed from a SATA-ish looking port on the board, which you'll see on the right side of the photo.

Interesting. Can you post the power usage of this setup? I'm tempted to invest in a picoPSU (or equivalent) like setup for a while but not sure if it would be worth it. I'm currently running a 350 Watt 80% PSU, Intel Atom with two "green" hard disk drives and its burning through 43-46 Watts.

I would post a picture of mine but its based in an old Compaq desktop case (i.e. nothing exciting). I also have the DGS-1224T 24 port switch with a small CyberPower UPS.

The Atom system is alive and running Server 2012..letting it crunch Prime95 for a little while..

According to my Kill-A-Watt the system is at 14 watts. It only has the one 128GB SSD.

The board (DN2800MT, dual core Atom N2800 @1.86GHz, 6.5W TDP):

It's one of them ITX boards which has a built on power socket.

Crispy, I know it as an ITX. And I knew after d0ogie posted that it wasn't a pico-psu. And I wanted to know what the model number was.

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.
    • Hello, Installed here without issue. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
