I have 3 batteries sitting here on my desk, just need to figure how to mount it (velco?).
I velcro'd it to my case. If you'd like I can take pictures tonight of my mount.

I have never bought a Perc from you...What did ya do with my custom fan that your perc had?
That is a good idea thid. But since there are no screws in place, just make sure the metal shell of the HDD is somehow connected to the metal in the case - this way any static electricity gets grounded.So, got the drives "installed" and building. I had to ghetto mod it. The one hole does line up with the drive fine, but the threading on the drives are different than what the trays came with. This means that no screw I have will sit flush with the bottom of the tray (like it is supposed to) and consequently won't fit in the server. I wasn't about to be defeated, so I thought of some alternatives. I could drill the holes, but that is messy and I'm not good at lining things up. Superglue! No, too sticky and with as good a hold as those drives would have, I wouldn't be able to remove them from the trays without twisting them all to hell. I kept looking...THERMAL TAPE! Ah ha, genius! Put tape on the bottom (the edges touched the tray itself) and screwed in the drive to get the "final position". I then removed the screw and I have drives attached with no screws! Did that for all three drives, hooked up the data cables and created the RAID array. I can't believe this is all falling into place like this.
The PCB is grounded through the SATA connectors (which is to the case) and the PCB is also grounded to the hard drive casing itself.That is a good idea thid. But since there are no screws in place, just make sure the metal shell of the HDD is somehow connected to the metal in the case - this way any static electricity gets grounded.

Are you sure? Because the computer case, power supply shell and HDD shell should be connected to earth ground and not to the 0V of the power supply.The PCB is grounded through the SATA connectors (which is to the case) and the PCB is also grounded to the hard drive casing itself.
Good idea, didn't think of it. I'm covered though.
Yup yup, get reading! Going to call the place right now to see what they got.Thid,
Man I go away for a few months and you get all sorts of goodies in place, did I hear correct that a rack is coming as well?
Undecided, but most likely a 4 post, completely open rack. The price skyrockets when you start adding panels.Closed side, open, telco, what kind of rack? Give us specs on the rack!
Not only does it use IDS (Snort), it signs you up and sets it up automaticallyQuestion on Astaro, does it have an IDS, and does it use Snort? Smoothwall and IPcop natively are using a 2yr old out of date version of Snort and I would LIKE to have better security then that.
Join meeeeeeeee.BTW, I hate you for beating me to the fully rackmounted life.
