<div class="moz-cite-prefix">My 32-bit Supermicro 1U server that ran
for about 500 days straight in a colo rack at QTS in Suwanee came
from HL Computer near Stone Mountain, oddly enough. I'm not sure
why they had that; it was an open-box that hadn't been used - not
their usual fare. But I got it for cheap; it's on its second power
supply and it's been the house file server ever since it came
home. <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'm wanting to retire it and start
using a different on-hand machine for house file server. Since the
case is still nice, I want to look into the possibility of
re-boarding it but in so doing, I'll probably have to fabricate a
new air duct; the CPU heatsink has no fan and can't have a fan -
it relies on air directed from fans elsewhere in the case.<br>

<div>I build from acmemicro.com. Usually Supermicro gear. Picked

install new guts. Fail points are always the same - power

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain
