Stop explaining urself boy. If u can afford it then go with it.

Why u doh join overclock.net instead? You'll get better constructive criticism/comments/advice than on GATT.

Look some examples:

Ahhhh conflict resolution.....i like it.

Anyhows, open question...

I recently bought an old dell precision 530 dual xeon server thing.

Previous owner said he used it as a file server for his website.

Wondering what i can use it for?

Never had a server so i lacking in imagination at the moment.

[Chiney]

yeah...sure



but that aside.... any experience with any of Microsoft's server OS's ?

[HCCA]

yeah...sure



but that aside.... any experience with any of Microsoft's server OS's ?

One place i was working had windows 2008 server on one of their dell servers but i wasn't allowed to dig up in it.

That machine was networked all the pcs in that building.

I believe that it ran the main accounting software for the 2 departments in that building as well as a version of Norton Antivirus.

[Chiney]

my guess is it ran the DHCP policy as well for the building as well as hosted the software for the accounting software.

well get some reading done on windows server OS's and you will discover you have a great piece of hardware to do many things with on your home network...

from file storage to routing, even media center pushing.

anyone here ever paint a radiator before?

[Chiney]

anyone here ever paint a radiator before?

yep!

what you have in mind?

[2NR Smurf]

i have a xspc rx360 and rx240 on the way. going in a gunmetal phantom 630. I already have a raystom cpu and razor gpu block with blue led lighting on my p8z77 mobo.
was wondering if it would be worth the time and effort to put them in a matte blue finish.
the thing is, once the build is done i wont be seeing much of the rads atall....for such a big case idk why nzxt gave the 630 such a tiny window

[Chiney]

actually you are in luck

the RX frames can be painted without preping, just clean from any dust and your on!

im using a full line of RX Rads for my rig, check it out when you get a chance!

http://www.ptclangaming.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=291

[2NR Smurf]

^wow thats alotta rads!! So im guessing a single D5 should provide good flow for my 240,360,cpu,single gpu.
Whats your opinion on monsoon compression fittings? i kinda feel safer with a good ol barb/hose clamp setup...but damn these things look so bess

[Chiney]

would you believe that was one of my options when choosing..i decided since i was using such big tubing, i will go with heavy duty looking barbs..

[2NR Smurf]

^i sticking with meh 1/2ID 3/4OD tubing. i wimping out on the acrylic. looks like too much of a task to get the right lengths and have everything squared off properly.

[Chiney]

go compression!

For that kinda cash bess you get waterblocks, you planning to watercool the system?

@Chiney nice bro see the site back up, have some minor updates to my build but still waiting for some parts. New build looking mean, why not sli 780s instead of 690s tho? Could ask how much to clear the 900D, was thinking of getting one.

@2nrsmurf
Doh waste your $ on those monsoons with the vinyl, they actually look kinda tacky up close but that's just my opinion. For the painting, rustoleum works real good
