>Cpu cooler
>Heatsink, nice
>Heatpipes, good

>Fan on heatpipes, no fan on heatsink

That's the only place where you can fit the fan, desu.
Also it's completely optional. It's 100% custom added

Cases are for faggots

this is pretty nice. Specs?

sweet.

D945GSEJT with aftermarket heatsinks
32GB SSD + 1TB HDD
Two 12V medical grade Mean Well power supplies (one for the server and one for the Ethernet switch and Wi-Fi AP)

It's pretty slow, but modern thin-ITX boards all require 19V power, so upgrading it is not that trivial.

rate

absolutely disgusting

I know, these are actually embedded cpus
I'm talking about servers, not switches/routers...

What difference does it make where it's used? They fail all the same. I've had to RMA two AsRock rack boards I use for my home servers.

too lazy for pic

What things can be done with a home server? I would want one but don't want it to connect to the outside internet.

pile it all up and put the box over it upside down.

>server
>1 hdd

GTFO

>pic related

then possibilities are severely limited.

You left an open, mains voltage PSU, presumably on your wall? So, how good is your life insurance?

i stream chinese pornographic cartoons throughout my house

Yea problem is when you have a server your network is open to the world, and the chances of getting some Chinese or Russian hackers trying to break in is higher.

Backup server
NAS
Local DNS
Directory server (LDAP, AD)

...

11/10

you anons have the right idea.

pic is mine, some broken sandybridge pentium laptop with 4gb ram. under a couch for maximum space-efficiency.

Are you blind, or just heavily retarded?

>not being a data-hoarder

I've cleaned up the cables since this pic but the hardware is the same.

My almost nigga. I'm using a Samsung N145 as a server.

How much did that end up costing you to put together?
I've been trying to slap together a fileserver for awhile but I really, REALLY don't want to have to spend $300 on a base system to house the shit.

HP Microserver is around 200$

>under a couch for maximum space-efficiency.
desu...

Elaborate
I can't find anything consistent about them

I accumulated it over a long period of time, so its tough to give a single price. The mobo, CPU, RAM, and heatsink are from my old main machine (Its an i7 930 on a Gigabyte X85A-UD3R), I bumped them down into my server when I got a Skylake board about June last year. The drives I also built up over time. Ten of them are 3TBs, they're in a ZFS array, I got them two at a time over a space of about four years. You can get refurb 3TBs on Newegg for $60, so $600 for that. The PSU was like $50, it's more than enough for a machine without a powerful video card. The case was $90, plus another $40 for a generic rail kit to go on it. (Not pictured, since it took like a month to arrive on some Chinese freighter)

yeah but an HP microserver doesn't have fifteen drive bays.

I don't think your build is a good example of "my first home server" for most people.

All over $700 and have built int VPN networking shit
I just want a shell system for a NAS man, not a one-stop-shop for a 30 person company

How noisy is that thing?
Also, how power hungry?

Potato picture ahoy.

It had an unfortunate encounter with a sidewalk last year.

The Celeron model starts at 200$ tops.
That's the one most people buy then think about upgrading the cpu to a Xeon if you really want to.

>having a home server
laughing out loud

literally everything's in the cloud, guys ;)

Moved to a new place so it's still a work in progress, wiring the house with ethernet right now.

The fans are pretty quiet if you put them on those little variable controllers. The drives are the loudest part of it. Its not silent, but pretty quiet. Actually the no-name fans that come with the case will spin up from five volts, which shocked me. They don't move enough air to be useful at that speed though.

it's a nehalem so it's not exactly low power. like 150 watts with the drives spun down and the CPU idle, about 300 with both loaded. I could probably do better if I underclocked it or something, but whatever

The "cloud" is a server, one you have no control over, and are reliant an internet connection to access.

(After some dusting) I recently upgraded it with an SSD and couldn't be happier.
Running jails on the raid storage was keeping them active almost all the time.
It's much quieter now.

It isn't a chink PSU, no more dangerous than leaving an iPhone charger in a wall socket.

Couldn't do any better due to Intel's retarded way of heatsink mounting ;_;

EMI? The only high voltage parts are two 25W power supplies, and those are pretty well designed and suitable for non-shielded operation.

Not an atom, but a J1900. There's a fan in there that's never turned off, so the thing is passively cooled.

J1900 is Atom-based, Intel just renamed it.

>fan is never turned off
>passively cooled
u wot m8

I have a SFF optiplex 755. Should i make it into a ghettoserver with 2 drives (1 3.5" and 1 2.5") or get something else?

If you don't mind fan noise and extra 30-50W of power consumption over a modern Braswell/Apollo Lake board

Here ya dinguses

It's so cute :3

Atom baby
Running teamspeak and nextcloud

just planing phase so far, probably i wait till they install, finaly, the fibre this year in our city, want to do the cables first down to basement where i have ton of place. was thinking about the HP microserver proliant 8 or i build somthink

Are you serious?
You don't actually understand the danger he's referring to?
Why did you open it in the first place, because it "looked cool"?

Orange Pi spotted.

My nigga! Up to 18TB myself.

>Why did you open it

Open what?

You do realize these are not computer PSUs, right?

Backup server sounds good. I could also use a offline archive, or a NAS.

Currently running Free nas but I'd like to just turn it into a linux server with samba that I can run other projects on.

cardboard box bro reporting in

t. top-right = wifiRouterPi
t. top-left = mediaServerPi w/2TB HDD which needs power because the rPi USB doesn't support enough.

before you curse me down for using the rPi's I got the 2 before I needed USB 3.0 or 1gb Ethernet, but regardless plays uncompressed blurays, and that is generally all that is on there, and I only use the pi 3 for the wifi and blutooth.

forgot the pic

crimp some shorter cables bruh

I like your idea but after a minute I can only think about how much heat that cover door can hold when you close it since there are no fans. Also your PSUs make me unconfortable. But yeah, I like the general idea and you did a clean job.

Corsair 650d?

acer e3-111-c0wa
4gb ram 64gb SSD
200gb external drive(will soo upgrade to a 2tb)
some tplink switch

maybe i will change the notebook if i find a good deal on some intel j1900-1800 boards

Yeah. I used to have a gay ass gamer full water coiled build back in the day and I mean it's still a good case with a mostly minimal design. I couldn't give 2 fucks about custom loops or gaming these days though.

There's a small gap between the cover door and the base plate (look at how the cables enter), so the internal temperature barely gets over 30. As for the PSUs, they are designed for open operation and have insulation plus a few millimeters of air under them.

10/10, that's how all my shit ends up looking.

It starts out clean and planned out, and then eventually as purposes and uses change, it looks more like this.

Jeez user. How poor are you?

Making some upgrades to it at present. Currently copying over ~3TB of data to a new ZFS pool.

...

What would you even use this for? My tv already plays movies from my gaming/home theater/shitposting pc. Is this for weebs who only have a laptop?

>What would you use a server for?

If you have to ask, I guess you don't need one. Not OP, but I use mine for:
- A media server (logitech media server to provide whole-house multi-room audio; serviio to stream video to local TVs and remotely)
- A minecraft server for some autistic gaymen
- A mumble server for talking with and hanging out with friends
- A central repository for files to access from any PC, locally or remotely
- An intranet web server for developing sites.
- Record data from my weather station

I'm pretty casual so an old Mac mini with an SSD and various external drives is all I need

Plex, VPN, backup, file storage

Looks comfy

...

the vault!

mostly just an absurd wishlist i update every now and then.

once we hit 12tb per drive, a petabyte-inna-box will be a thing!

out of service pending a recovery and re-image because cluttered installations give me autism

godspeed user, i moved into a place where i had to redo all the wiring, was a massive pita by myself. next time im going to ask someone else to help me

I'd go for blind as I didn't see it either at first

To anyone who use laptop as their homeserver, did you use the battery 24/7 or did you just unplugged it? I'm curious whether it'll burn my house down if I leave it be.

If it's plugged in 24/7 take the battery out mane. It's standard ops.

I'll expand briefly on the why. Depending on how many cells the battery has determines how many charge cycles it lasts roughly speaking. You only want the battery in when charging to full to eventually discharge it while unplugged.

Thats a lot of booze.

Cool, I'll unplugged it from now on, thanks.

Thinking if I should bite the bullet and get an asrock c2750d4i...

Phenom X6 1055T
32GB ECC 1600Mhz
Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5
LSI9211-IT

5x4TB for media and 2x1 for important files and some VMs

Case is an Antec 900 with 3x iStarUSA 4-in-3 bays.

Comfy and still performs like a charm

You can shut down cleanly in the event of power loss with a battery attached. If its now a full time server, what does it matter if you lose a couple of hours battery over time?

This has been purring along non-stop for two years now and I love it.

Managed to find an E3-1240v2 for about £90 which was a real bargain.

16gb ram
4x4tb WD Red
Sandisk 120gb SSD for OS
LSI SAS9207-8e SAS HBA
Silverstone 4x3.5" SAS enclosure
3x3tb Toshibas, 1.5tb Seashit
3tb external drive

Once hard drive prices drop again I will make a second build with the celeron g1610t I have lying around.

>c2750d4i
Fucking why they're horribly overpriced.

Sup /sqt/

I have acquired pic related, plus 6 more in a ML360 I have sitting under my desk. Plan was to use the 360 as a file server but holy shit it chews power like a hooker chews cock.

I have no idea bout server cases, do any of you know a good case I can build into that will hold as many drives as possible? Desktop cases perhaps?

>he fell for the thinclient home server meme
What's it like? Which HP model is that?

node 804

I should also point out I have four SAS cards, so I'll need some slots as well.

> low power consumption on full load
> 8 sata ports

This is why.
