I ordered parts for a new server today. With my success in building a FreeNAS based box, I’m going to try to build another one using 4 1 TB drives in RAID 5. If it works, I’ll finally be able to put all my data in one place. Oh and I also ordered a metric butt-ton of Cat 6 cable to try to help increase the speed of my supposedly gigabit network. Goodtimes are ahead! I decided to wait on building a new quadcore flagship machine, perhaps as late as until May.
I’m really scavenging my KVM lately. One of the 4 boxes went to build my 1st server, now my Ubuntu machine is being sacrificed to build the second server. Yet another box is going to be moved behind the TV in the basement to act as a videoserver for that. I’ll only have one box left!
Maybe in May, instead of just building one flagship machine, I’ll build 4 and fill up my KVM with bad-ass processing power! Muhahahaha! Skynet will be born in my basement…
