I tend to be very sensitive to noise, especially at night. If you sleep next to it and it is too noisy, chance are you don't need it and can switch it off at night ;-) I assume, with SSDs instead of HDs, it will be even more silent. My ALIX is only noiseless and fanless because it uses a CF as storage. With a full HD, I doubt I could run it fanless (and at 5W)... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The fake raid says RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support (Windows Only)... did you install a RAID card? Did you find a nice low profile/noise case for it? Thx, JD I use Linux software raid, and never hardware raid :-) I use this case for most of our deployments: http://www.casetronic.com/product_d.php?id=78 Though I am testing with this one now, as it supports two hard drives and has room inside for an and-in card. http://www.casetronic.com/product_d.php?id=71 Emmett ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] OT: headless fanless silent 2 HDs micro server/pc...
Hey, A bit out of topic but I am looking for a micro server/pc if anyone knows a descent one... I found many nice NAS but I would like to have full access to the OS (install CentOS, etc). Dream one would be - Very quiet (fanless) since it will sit in my bedroom. - Headless - Small. - 2/3 HDs (2.5 are ok) for RAID1 (hardware RAID would be nice, and with BBC even more).- 1 or 2 GB NICs - USB3 or ESATA would be nice... - Price would not be much of a problem (maybe no more than $1000 though). Random thoughts: - a shuttle PC with 2 HDs and a real RAID card (if it fits inside), but maybe too noisy, no headless. - a mac mini server looks very nice (but max budget, need another Mac to install, not sure if easy/possible to install CentOS). - some NAS were I could easily replace the OS (not on a flash chip). So if you know a nice one... Thx, JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Is there sufficient 'guts' on the Intel Atom to do useful work ? What type of tasks are you running ? We use it as a captive portal, caching proxy, content filer, content server, and for remote system monitoring/management. So far it seems to have guts similar to the dual core AMD gateways we use in stationary locations managing up to 200 simultaneous connections. I haven't tested it in a 200 connection situation, but I expect it could handle the traffic. For now it will be used to manage less than 50 simultaneous connections, in a limited bandwidth (cellular 3G and 4G) connection to the Internet application.
