Server Ow_jeih (Dual Sharkoon Rebel9)

[Ow_jeih]

Hello guys,

This opening will be in English because my German is too mediocre to explain everything in German.

+-4 months ago I started my fileserver-project. Next month I will have my 2nd paycheck so I can finally finish my project.

Case's
With some luck I found the Sharkoon Rebel9 series. They are perfect for my project and luckily very cheap so I bought 3

Review @ Orthy.de

Mod
Nothing special, just putting 2 cases together. Both cases will lie on their side and Case_2 on top of Case_1.
- Case_1 has the motherboard
- Case_2 has removed mobo-tray
- Case_1 & Case_2 will be put together with screws when Backplanes are installed.

Possible Problems
- I will connect PowerLED & HarddiskLED from Case_1 & Case_2 together and will mount them on the motherboard. Will the LED's shine less hard?

Hardware already owned
CPU : Intel 805 @ 3.33GHz
Mobo: Asus P5WDG2-WS
RAM: 2*1GB Corsair XMS PC5400
RAID: Areca ARC-1160 PCI-X + BBU
PSU: Fortron 550W + Superflower 470W

Hardware to be purchased
Backplanes: each case has 9*5'25-bays
1*4-in-3 backplane
3*3-in-2 backplanes

So room for 26-disks in total.

In 2 weeks I will buy the backplanes and the project will be finished. Then I need to save money for extra HDD's. I want to fill every bay with 1TB disks over time I really hope staggered spinup works with the Areca and my backplanes....

Nice project and first of all a very cheap casesolution. What u´ve payed for?
If i think of real servercases with high quality, i could @ the prices.

Deutsch kann ich verstehen und lesen aber sprechen und schreiben ist nicht so gut. (Pfaff-Deutsch, Belgien = Niederländisch)
Server-Hardware ist:
CPU : Intel 805 @ 3.33GHz
Mobo: Asus P5WDG2-WS
RAM: 2*1GB Corsair XMS PC5400
RAID: Areca ARC-1160 PCI-X + BBU
PSU: Fortron 550W + Superflower 470W
HDD's: 200GB Seagate + 6*300GB Seagate RAID5 + 2*250GB Hitachi RAID0

Ich will RAID upgraden mit 16*1TB Seagate RAID6 aber das ist nicht billig... :P
PSU's sind loud aber the fan kann ich nicht höhren. Backplanes sind sehr loud!!!

Ich habe 3 Rebel 9's gekauft. 1 mit Fan und 2 oder Fan. Es war +-120euro für alle glaube ich

Powerconsumption will be high...and normally it will run 24/7 but we'll see when the bill comes in if it stays 24/7

Between 7 cent and 10 cent...depending on the contract
Wie viel ist dass in Deutschland?

 

[underclocker2k4]

Hier in berlin um die 17Cent, ist aber nicht das billigste angebot.
7 cent would be great, but maybe u can ship some batteries to berlin

What kind of content u wanna store on that server?

17 cent / KwH ist INSANE!!! aber shipping nach Deutschland ist teuer hier. Deutsche Post-DHL >> Belgische Post

Offtopic hier, ich habe deine PM geantwortet.

Als je wil gooi ik er nog wat Nederlands tegenaan, dan heb je zeker hoofdpijn

Allerdings schönes Projekt Ow_jeih. Aber ist ein Core2Duo-CPU nicht kühler und effizienter? Woher hast du den Cases?

 

[easteregg]

for what type of data youll need 16TB harddisks?
but nice projekt, keep posting pictures!

Die Gehäuse kommen von shop im Belgien (die Name vergessen)
1 Sharkoon Rebel9 Economy
und
1 Sharkoon Rebel9 Value

Core2Duo CPU ist besser aber meinen Mainboard ist nicht kompatibel ist Rev 1.0 und keinen 'Professional'.

Hi,

very nice Project!
In the first post, you say that you bought 3 cases. Where is the third one?

another question:
Do you use the Server only for your Files or for a company?
because i think an old dualcore is not fast enough for a big company

regards
aelo
