November 26, 201015 yr Got 2 today from newegg. Thanks for the heads up guys! I ordered 1, and an 8 port switch for the upstairs server.
November 26, 201015 yr upstairs server. You know you have a problem, or a very understanding wife, when you have an "upstairs server." I had a similar convo with my dad recently. I was talking to him about my "regular" server (the one that stays up 24/7, my test server, and the 2 servers I have as VM's. He asked me how many servers I needed and I told him i would let him know when I thought I had a problem. He just shook his head and went back to watching TV.

He asked me how many servers I needed and I told him i would let him know when I thought I had a problem. He just shook his head and went back to watching TV. You may have a problem. A few more servers and you might need serious help... or therapy... or more 2TB disks... Joe L.

Since unRAID is not a backup solution you need a primary server, a backup server and some small upstairs, development or prototyping server. After that it's time to consider UCD. LOL!
November 26, 201015 yr Waiting for newegg. I rather not pay sales tax Amazon price macthed, no tax. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028Y4CY6/ref=ord_cart_shr?t=slickdeals&tag=slickdeals&ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER $60 now at tigerdirect.com http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4846365&sku=TSD-2000AS2 Last night I also notice that they lower the price from $69 to $59 but this morning they raised it backup to $69. I email them about their 30day price protection but they email me back asking where i saw it.
November 27, 201015 yr Ordered 2 from newegg and 1 from tigerdirect. And in doing so, remembered why I haven't ordered from tigerdirect in 7 or 8 years. Don't know why you haven't ordered from tigerdirect.....sure you have to pay shipping but I have seen a lot over the years where their price was cheaper.....I could be a bit biased because i live so close to their Chicago shipping facility....within reason they ALWAYS ship the same day....its freaking amazing...lol I have order as late as 6:00 their time and got the items the next day but recently i have pretty much order everything from Newegg because i have caught almost all the stuff on shellshocker....and they have usually taken a couple of days just to ship.....usually the prices are close....guess it depends how quickly you want the item I always come away with a used-car sales feeling when ordering from them. The thing that brought that feeling with that last order was the prompt for the last 4 of my SSN to verify the order.
November 27, 201015 yr Got 2 today from newegg. Thanks for the heads up guys! Hey Weebo... Two questions: 1) Do you know what firmware is installed on them? 2) Which NewEgg warehouse did they ship out of? CA, TN, or NJ?
