Hi all.

Compared to what I see around here, a basic setup of mine, but I’m just getting started.

A PC with an I5 4590 processor, 16 Gb of Ram memory and two nodes, one 1.8TB and the other 12.6TB, complemented by a 1200VA UPS.

Regards.

Nice, I’ve been keeping an eye on eBay for a Dell r515 or 510 (for the 12 x 3.5" bays) so I’m very jealous!

I luv Dell stuff in general, they just look nice! lol

is it possible to discuss batteries in a separate thread?
Thank.

Alexey · July 23, 2020, 9:21pm

Moved to a separate thread.
Perhaps we should move all discussions from this thread to a separate ones to keep it clear with the title

What’s behind the door?

My newest node:

16TB Exos X about to go in there when my SATA controller arrives - unluckily, the board does not seem to support large HDDs…bought it as a mining board years ago, it has paid off multiple times already.

/edit: the cables look much tidier with the HDD/ODD tray installed

Vadim · July 27, 2020, 6:06am
