This is my Corsair 600T WHS 2011 Build.
This is my first computer build in MANY years, last one was in middle school (now 24 yrs old). Many things have changed sense then ha, this is also my fist desktop I have owned in many many years as well as I have had laptops for many years. This is a Windows Home Server 2011 build for my apartment to keep all my data centralized, keep backups current, and able to access my data from anywhere if needed. I was going to go with a simple nas box but decided to try this out.
I am new to the forums here and have asked many questions and gotten prompt reply so thanks for that, and in tern have learned much.
Specs:
Case: Corsair 600T
CPU: Intel i3-2105
MoBo: Asus P8H67-M Pro
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
PSU: Corsair CX600
RAM: G.Skill Rip Jaws 8 GB
Optical: Asus DVD-RW
NIC: Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter - PCI-E
OS: Windows Home Server 2011 64-Bit
LCD Screen: Matrix Orbital GLK19264
HDD:
System - WS Black 640 GB 7200 RPM
Storage - Samsung Spinpoint F3 1 TB (2x, Windows Mirrored)
Fans:
Intake:
Front 200mm (Corsair Stock, newer 1000rpm option)
Front 80mm Noctua thru Antec HDD Cooler (No disks in cooler)
Exhaust:
200mm (Corsair Stock, newer 1000 rpm option)
Rear Enermax Magma 120mm
Internal:
Corsair 120 mm cooling HDDs
Waiting on my internal USB cable for the lcd screen but for now this works.
Some pics of the setup, any comments on any improvements that can be made or comments would be appreciated. Cooling seems to be good, CPU is idling around 26-27C and can go down to 24C depending on room temp, at Prime95 load it will go up to around 40C. HDDs are staying at around 27-30C with at load temps around a degree or two higher. Using a IR temperature meter the south-bridge (H67 chipset) is around 105-110F at idle, does this seem right?
Little overkill for a server, sure, but it will be used for media streaming to my PS3 and will be doing good amount of transcoading and thus the newer i3-2105 which has the Intel HD 3000 graphics vs the i3-2100 which has the 2000 version and for $10 more might as well.
