And it has not been a year, but only a month and I have the opportunity to do my new home server and add an article. In the first article I talked about the choice of components, and here I will show how it all looks and what came of it. Where everything is going to be - the Invinational corps bm639 : If you want to use an additional expansion card, for example, I need a second network card to use the server as a gateway, then you will need their low-profile options: Now the core of the entire system, the motherboard from Intel D945GCLF2D with a built-in Atom 330 processor , which is nice - this board has a built-in gigabit (!) Network card: The storage medium is a WD10EVDS hard drive. In principle, the selected enclosure allows you to use two hard disks, the second disk can be inserted into the 5-inch bay, so in theory the selected configuration allows you to store up to 4TB of data: And now everything gathered together: The biggest surprise for me was how much it all works together loudly. You can see for yourself (the video was filmed just for the sake of sound, so sorry for the picture quality :):
In total, the system has 3 coolers + noise from the hard disk. I couldn’t particularly influence the power supply cooler, but in principle it is the quietest of the trinity, but I decided to replace the other two (the cooler on the case and on the north bridge). I, at first, planned to replace the northbridge cooler with a passive HR-05 , but it turned out that it would not enter in height and even in width it would be cramped. In the end, I just connected it through the speed controller and set it at 2000 r / m (initially it was 4000 r / m). The cooler of the system unit was replaced with Enermax UCEV8 , this cooler itself changes the rotational speed depending on the temperature (500 r / m at temperatures less than 45 degrees and 1500 if more): The result was pretty good:
It turned out pretty nice home server: And lastly, several performance test results: Under Windows XP:
PCMark05 - 2207
WinRar (built-in test): Single stream - 233 Kb / s, Multi-threaded mode - 568 Kb / s, 4th single-threaded doughs at the same time - 157 + 158 + 157 + 158 = 630 Kb / s
Under Fedora 11:
Compiling lighttpd 1.4.23 (./configure --without-pcre --without-bzip2): Runtime - 1:18 (the same operation Core2Duo-8200 for 0:23, P-II 400 for 3:23), Time run 4 parallel compilations - 2:13, 2:14, 2:14, 2:14
