rez.nuxx.net
(For some reason I’m not interested in posting the pictures themselves to LJ tonight.)
This is what I made to hopefully correct the problems with the new webserver, rez.nuxx.net. It allows me to mount a spare 2U power supply inside of a normal ATX power supply space in my mid-tower server case.
I don’t mean to brag, but I personally think it came out pretty damn good. After mounting everything, this is how it came out. In doing this I ended up moving the fan guard and mains power connector to the outside of the case. Personally, I think it came out pretty good.
As can be seen here, there is also a good bit of room now, plenty of space for the bundling of the cables. Additionally, here is the first shot of the inside of the case, parts installed. This may change around a bit before I install it in the colo facility, but it’s the exact hardware config I hope to use.
mmm… computer pr0n.
That is about as good as I can imagine a home personal server looking. It is beautiful.
Hehe, thank you. :)
It’s actually going to go into colocation once it’s ready, to replace my older webserver which is simply proving too slow for some things. (Large IMAP requests, Gallery 2, and running SA on all the crap received when one gets joe-jobbed.)
This should resolve it. I’m just going to reformat it next, because I don’t like the idea that I introduced some sort of disk corruption before.
Now, time to test if the power supply resolves the issue I had with rsyncing assloads of data.
very nice. I’ve got 2 Antec server cases I need to do the same thing to.
