    double sided server case? pics?
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    I'll get some when i'm home. It's basically a double width case divided in two with a mobo mount in one side and a shitton of room in the other for PSU's and drives in the other.

    ahh, ok then, I was hoping it could host 2 ATX boards and then some. I'm always looking for a good, cheap, double sided case so I can throw some old parts in it :D
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    um. Well it could hold another atx board but all the ports would face inwards...

    I'd be interested in the SCSI boards. I've an old IBM Intellistation that I currently use as a webserver that always needs more hard drive space. Don't spose you have a PIII 500 floating about as well ? Oh and some 512mb dimms.
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    Um, i'm pretty sure i have a p3 lying around somewhere, whether its a 500 or not (or infact whether it works) i'm not sure. I'll see if i can dig it out. As for the 512meg dimms, what speed? I have a ton of random ram (how coincidental) laying around but the older stuff likely isnt 512meg and the newer stuff i dont really wanna be giving away.

    The IBM takes 100mhz memory. They don't have to be 512mb, just the bigger the better. I meant SCSI discs not boards btw.

    FYI, the disks are Fujitsu MAA3182SP's if you'd like to check theyre the right type or whatever. I've never used scsi so i dont have much knowledge about it. As a pointer, all the parts listed made up an entire working system, although the mobo only had one CPU fitted and i havent as yet managed to get a pair running (though i see no reason they shouldnt) I got the system free from school and planned to setup a nix server or something to muck around with on it but i'm just too lazy and it's taking up way too much room. Perhaps i'll get a mini atx box to do the same job. Turns out i have 2 PC100 256meg DIMMs on my sofa. Not quite sure where they came from. I have a crazy amount of junk to say i didnt pay for any of it. I dont think.. Hmmmm. And i have some pics of it all but for some reason my phone doesnt want to connect as an external drive..so...hmmm...

    Is the mboard a Supermicro ? I once built a 2x PIII 800 system using what sounds like a similar board. The SCSI drives should be OK. The IBM has 2 different connectors and I have a couple of adaptors floating about somewhere.
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    I cant find any ID on the board but i'm reasonably sure its an intel board. I'll have a better look later and google the random codes i find on it to see if i can come up with anything. Which country are you in, btw?

    Mini, can I buy YOU, then I'd pet you.
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    if the price is right...

    I'm in Cumbria, Northern England. Big place full of sheep :)
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    cumbria? no shit! That's about 3 stones throw from here.
  • KosmoKosmo
    Mini! Don't throw stones, they aggravate the sheep.
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    FYI i just found another 2 sticks of what i think is pc100 (one 64 and i guess the other is 256) and a couple of pc133.

    I have an old P120 hanging around somewhere I think. Vintage stuff.

    Maybe NASA will want it?
