This was almost necessary due to the shear weight of this thing, AND ITS MOSTLY EMPTY! Quote Link to comment
lainie Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Very nice. Looks like you are off to a good start. Which piece will be next? If you think it is heavy now, wait until you add in the UPS. Quote Link to comment
Harpz Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Very nice. Looks like you are off to a good start. Which piece will be next? If you think it is heavy now, wait until you add in the UPS. More importantly how will he/she move it, wouldn't want that thing sitting in my living room lol. Looks like a cool project, look forward to seeing more pics. Quote Link to comment
pyrater Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Next will be the mods to bring the noise of the server down to normal levels AND at the same time taking my current server (see sig) and putting it into the CORPS system (2U Case). Main question i have is which should be my VM/Game server and which should be unraid. So its: MOBO H8DME-2 2x 1.8 GHZ 6 Core proc (12 cores total) 8GB RAM Vs MOBO ASUS F1A75-M LE a single 2.7 ghz quad core 16GB RAM (or a combination of them, Thinking of putting the 8 GB in the second setup and make that my unraid setup (swaping all the part sinto the supermicro case) and the 16gb in the first setup for VM/Game server) also added wheels to the CORPS system for moving it =) Quote Link to comment
aiden Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Very nice. Looks like you are off to a good start. Which piece will be next? If you think it is heavy now, wait until you add in the UPS. More importantly how will he/she move it, wouldn't want that thing sitting in my living room lol. This is no joke. With 24 hard drives in the unRAID server, another server, a rackmount UPS, and the weight of the case, this will weigh a LOT. Why one large case instead of several smaller ones? I would think when going mobile, that would help make it easier to move the whole system. EDIT: Nevermind. The cost on these kind of cases is very prohibitive. Could you provide a link of where you are sourcing yours? I like the idea of a modular setup like this, because it's a completely self contained enterprise quality infrastructure in a half height rack. I will watch this DIY with interest.

garycase Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 ... The cost on these kind of cases is very prohibitive. Could you provide a link of where you are sourcing yours? He listed the case he's using with the parts list -- HARDIGG CASES 413-665-2163 ... and a quick Google for this case shows they are available on e-bay for exactly what he's listed ($184.23), so I suspect that's where he purchased it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HARDIGG-CASES-413-665-2163-SHIPPING-STORAGE-HARD-CASE-/190709478495 Quote Link to comment

That's why I asked the question. My guess is that is in fact NOT the part number for the actual item, and that the eBay listed it incorrectly. I appreciate your attempt to answer for him, but you of all people should know I do plenty of my own research before I start asking questions. If that is where the OP found the item, the so be it. But I would rather have him tell me, just the same. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 No problem .. although I think it's HIGHLY unlikely that I was wrong about his source. What are the odds of another source having the same $184.23 price ?? Quote Link to comment
pyrater Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Sorry for the late response, been moving. That link is the exact link where i bought mine (same guy he ships direct to your door via UPS ground). The guy had two of them and looks like he still has one =). The reason i went with one instead of abunch of smaller ones is like you said cost, as a solution to the weight i have added caster wheels to the bottom of the legs of the case that lock into place. Moving it around is easy now =). Quote Link to comment

garycase Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It certainly looks good ... definitely an "industrial" look to it. If you think it's heavy now, wait until you add all the drives !! (and, of course, a good UPS) Figure ~ 1.5# x 24 drives = 36 pounds, plus 25-30 pounds for a UPS ... that's an additional 60+ pounds !! Not sure how "portable" this "Rack Portable Storage" is going to be ... but it's definitely going to be a nice system !! Quote Link to comment
pyrater Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Only appears to show 8 of the 12 cores.... I suspect this is due to the 32 bit kernel. Anyone know a work around?

If you compile your own kernel you could enable all cores. Quote Link to comment

pyrater Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 of the script? minimal / none? The entire rack is around 300watts Quote Link to comment
morbidpete Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Final / finished setup thanx to unRAID x64 Xen. Where did you get that case? Are you Commo? We use the same cases for our field servers. Would love to get my hands on one for my own. Mostly MC4 Systems EDIT: Just read the whole post. I see that you bought it online. Good find! Thanks Quote Link to comment
