Title: Building the New Adidas.
Post by: Morgul on July 05, 2006, 10:17:52 am

Ok, well it looks like I'm going to be in a position to financially back the building od the New Adidas machine that we want to put in the datacenter our webhost currently has. But, regardless of all that, we need to settle on hardware for it.

Here's an amazing case that I want to go with regardless of anything else:

Here's the MB I wanna go with:

Here's a wiki on putting gentoo on it:

So, how about we talk processors?
Two of these should work nicely:

Especially with this cooling:

Now, Ram.

(We can add more later. The MB supports up to 24 GBs.)

Now, finally, drive
Two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136033
Oh, and a cheap DVD drive:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827136083

So, how about we total this?

$1,231

Not too shabby for the most kickass server I've seen in a long time. Oh, and we might sping for a slower, larger SATA drive to augment the smaller 74gig ones. That would be about $200 more (for a 500GB drive)

I'm digging it. 

The more storage space the better.
