Odin
I finally decided that enough was enough, and I ordered the parts for my new server. This means that in the next week or two, I will be replacing the good ol’ dual Athlon (see below for specs), with a shiny new quad-core Xeon.
Current setup — baal:
| 2x | AMD Athlon MP 1800+ (1.533 GHz, 256 KB cache) |
| 2x | 40GB IDE disk |
| 4x | 512 MB |
| 1x | e1000 Intel NIC |
New setup - odin:
I’ve “stolen” some images of the case from NewEgg:
Baal gives me about 40 GB of disk space (I use RAID 1 across the two drives). Odin will give me about 6TB (RAID 6). This will finally allow me to do a few things I wanted to do for a while; one such thing is to provide a Hercules image with Linux set up to do HVF development.
why did you waste all that money instead of acquiring a pet mainframe and some three phase power...

I definitely want a mainframe, but they're a bit out of my price range. :/
