OUCH!! dont have a dvdrom it can borrow? LOL
I just used the net install and downloaded everything :)

The whole system is SCSI, so I'd have to put a PCI -> SATA card in to install the OS. Not worth the time :p
 
so 22 tb.. WTF :) i mean how much data u have? u think u can fill those up?
Not much at the moment, but I'm expanding my movie and music collection. Need to rip about 100 DVD's right now >.>

It is nice not having to delete backups or compress music/movies.
 
i have like 1.8TB of data and i hateeee when i need to look for a specific files :) i can be there for hours looking for the damn file :) i can imagine doing that on 22TB of data :) haha
 
Oh, I will definitely be indexing all the arrays.
 
...I don't download (nor distribute) copyrighted materials

I actually believe you, dude. ANybody with enough money to buy that much hard drives, probably has a sick media center and a ton of blu-ray or hd-dvd movies ripped. Gosh I wish HD-DVD would have won the format war. :(
 
Nope, had to work on my server last night. I tested a perc 5/i last night and it is DOA, so I need to locate another :(

I also pulled the video card to find that the half the capacitors are blown.


So, need a new RAID card and some capacitors...


Yup yup :-/

ahh bad luck :(

Yup yup, not a very good media center though, working on that.
 
Thid,

What Video card do you need and where did you get hte Perc from?
I pulled a 7900GT from my server (PCI-e) and replaced it with a "something old" ATI PCI card. When I pulled the 7900GT and prepared to install it, I noticed the capacitors were blown. I can fix it pretty cheap ^_^
 
Drives are here!! Yes, I'm playing my Druid in WoW, bite me >.>
