ImTheTypeOfGuy Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Pictures of the recent build. Nothing special except for maybe the hardware. I am known as the real life version of Tim from Tim the toolman. Some of the overkill is because I plan to host a VM of W7 as well.

usacomp2k3 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 How many drives are you going to put in it? What case is it specifically?The Gamma? Lexa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheTypeOfGuy Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 cookiepuss, yes it is very powerful and so nice. It is very nice to be into the connector within a couple seconds. Old server would take 30 seconds minimum. I have debated turning this into my desktop and using an XPS 420 for my server. It is quad core, 3.4 MHz, and can have up to 8 GB's of memory. usacomp2k3, I only have two 2.0 TB drives in it now. I have three or four .5 to 1.5 TB drives laying around if needed. However, I believe the motherboard has 10 SATA's so I am set for up to 20 TB's without having to add a card. Given I am not a big movie watcher, I will probably never max out the SATA's though. My collections is all of about 6 movies. However, with home video's I guess it could start stretching the requirements. Especially with the new Cannon Vixia HF S11 I have on the way (hd camcorder with up to 24 Mbps). Case is Lexa S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavean Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 What does WHS report the Core i7 920 as? I have an Intel Core i7 920 on an ASUS P6T Deluxe V1 and 6GB of DDR 1600 RAM. Its over a year old but I also recently built a Lynnfield Core i7 860 on an ASUS P7P55D Pro with 4GB of DDR3 1333. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usacomp2k3 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 If I remember correctly, the chip is reported as a Pentium 3 because that's the first class of processor that supported both SSE & MMX, both instruction sets which are virtualized and accelerated natively by the VM host.
