Re: Is this concept for a custom-built NAS feasible?
Check out BackupPC. It's a bit of a config to get setup initially, but once setup with rsync clients, it will back up anything, does great disk sharing, easy web interface for clients, runs automatically, e-mails reports, etc. It's what I'm using on my home built NAS. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Re: A 7.4x5.0mm power jack for a PicoPSU?
You are going to need to cut one or the other off, find the matching replacement, and solder it on (or switch both connectors to something else entirely that you can get both male and female of). Make sure you get + and - correct too! This might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_power_conne...

Running Ubuntu Server 9.10. My server's primary function is to run BackupPC . It automatically backups up itself, my web server, my desktop PC, my laptop, and my wife's laptop. Very cool software. Check it out if you have not seen it before. Also, it runs a perforce server for source code management...

I'm using a Pico 150W in my D510MO build with an 80W adapter that came with the Pico in a retail kit at Fry's.

Ya, lm-sensors works fine for temperatures, but does report bad values for voltages. I'm also using hddtemp for hard drive temps, both monitored and logged with munin. munin looks pretty slick. I'll need to check into that for sure. Any tips / stuff to look out for with munin? The default hard driv...

could you measure the gap size from where your mobo ends to where the edge of the case is? I'm so desperately itching for 2cm. your mobo is 170mm wide, i need roughly 191 (i'm willing to take a chance on .5mm). Would much rather be safe than sorry for a case this size 18mm. It would be VERY close. ...

To answer both questions in one reply: 1) If there was no CD/DVD, then there is 4 5/8" clearance from the top of the motherboard (not the socket) to the wall of the case. So, my guess is that a mini ninja would NOT fit, since the CPU and socket are almost certainly going to be more than 1/8", unless...

That's a really nice case, I actually love it. With the PSU removed, could a mATX board fit? 190.5mm x 228.6mm area for the mobo. I don't need any expansion slots, just a much smaller case... I have a PICO and all. It looks like it might just barely fit? Ok, there's a second vote for me to open it ...

Sweet rig! With no optical drive would a mini ninja fit?(not on that mobo) Or do you know the case dimensions? Don't see it at all on raidmax site... Not sure how big a mini ninja is, but the case is 5 1/8" by 9 1/4" by 11 1/2" roughly. I can take some internal measurements for you the next time I ...

Small, Low Power, Quiet Atom based Linux server
I rebuilt my home BackupPC / Perforce / Samba server recently. It runs 24/7 (but disks spin down overnight usually), so I wanted low power consumption, small is always nice, and quiet is nice, but it will be moving to a closet once I'm done tweaking on it, so quiet is third on the list. It runs Back...

Re: Need a cpu cooler for GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P
Im planning on getting an e8400 (E0) and overclocking it to 4ghz. I was set on getting the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 but then read some reviews that it won't fit this board. Are there any alternatives that matches the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 in performance and price? I have a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 on my Gigabyte ...

I'll boot WinXP Pro later (I have dual boot setup, but usually run Vista 64-bit). I have 8G of RAM though, not 4, but I think the answer in both cases is about 3.2G seen by the OS.
