Comments on: Server is Dead. Long live the Server. https://www.robohara.com/?p=7159 The Adventures of Rob, Susan, Mason and Morgan O'Hara Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:28:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Paul Nurminen https://www.robohara.com/?p=7159#comment-4069 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:28:26 +0000 http://www.robohara.com/?p=7159#comment-4069 Ahhhh, Rob… That new server looks precariously perched atop the old one, with the heavy PSU hanging off the “ledge”. I know it was only a temporary location, but still looks a bit scary.
;-)

My Production / Recording PC (for The Intellivisionaries) motherboard crapped out a couple weeks ago – the day before we recorded episode 12. Fortunately, like you, I’m in I.T. so I know to __NEVER__ __EVER__ trust technology. It will ALWAYS let you down.

I’m beyond religious about having multiple backups and drive images to multiple drives, and I had already purchased the exact same motherboard about a year ago so I was prepared. In fact, for this particular PC, this is the 3rd motherboard for it. Anyway, it was a quick swap, and I was back up and running, ready to record our episode.

Nice work on the server!

Earl, those Dell servers will run forever. We use them at work and they run for years and years and years. People can say what they want about Dell workstations and laptops but the servers are built like tanks.

It’s an AMD Opteron 1210 at 1.8 GHz, 4 GB of RAM running Windows Server 2008 (not R2). But the thing just keeps running! And it’s really quiet compared to my desktop – barely know it’s on. Lately I harvested some 1 TB SATA drives from external enclosures and beefed up the storage. Indeed – long live the server!

I agree it’s nice being able to get systems up and running in half an hour.
