SadinI know most of you guys in here are IT gurus and i just program so i have a question for you all, im almost 17 i cant get a job no one is hiring i want to ask for the money to build or for a server (a tower not rack) And i was thinking of going with a customized lenovo think server with a intel xenon 2gb am 500gb HD and noOS which starts me around 550$... is there any cheaper solution? or cheaper barebones/custom bu00:38
Sadinilt you can reccomend that would have that power yet still be under or near the price00:38
patbarronThis barebones kit is $399 and should blow the doors off of the ThinkServer:  http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1622532&CatId=529400:46
jedijfhive would take 500 for a dell poweredge 2950, i think it's at 4gigs of ram00:48
Sadinjedijf i looked into dell servers i dont like dell too much and it was kinda like expensive compared to the lenovo solutions i found00:51
Sadinpatbarron i was looking into the barebones on tiger00:52
patbarronLooks like you have to add case fans, though.  Shouldn't be too expensive.00:52
Sadinif i want to run this machine as a dedicated server does it matter if its a desktop or a server machine or is that just in the name?00:52
patbarronJust a name, really.00:53
Sadinokay00:53
Sadinpatbarron this is probably more expensive but these dont look to bad so far https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=2359758700:53
patbarronCan't see it (don't have an account at newegg)...  Direct URL to the product?00:55
Sadinpatbarron this is all thats in the wishlist so far http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.81526500:58
patbarronSadin: looks nice, but more pieces you need to supply yourself (CPU, hard drive, memory).  I'm shopping for something like what you're looking for, myself to do some "server consolidation" at home.  Planning to run a bunch of KVM guests, to rid myself of several single-purpose systems.  So I've been shopping TigerDirect and such too.  :-)01:01
patbarronLooking more towards AMD-based systems, though.  Not such a big fan of Intel.  (Nothing wrong with Intel, just I think too expensive for what you get...)01:02
Sadinpatbarron yes i know i have an 80Gb SATA HD lying around and also a powersupply01:02
Sadinjust picked a combo of 2 2gb RAM sticks01:03
patbarronCool :)01:03
=== Joe_RPG is now known as Joe_Ghost
Sadinhttps://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=23597587 patbarron can you see now?01:06
patbarronNo, wants me to sign in (with account that I don't have...) before it will let me view a wish list...01:07
Sadinwth?01:08
patbarronNot sure why.01:08
patbarronSince the URL says "MySavedWishDetail", I wonder if you are the only one that is allowed to view yuor wish lists...01:08
patbarron(At least via that URL, anyway)01:09
Sadinpatbarron there are no sharing options other then linking urls and this barebones suits my needs a lil better :)01:13
Sadinhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1922480&CatId=529401:13
Sadincan always add more RAM later01:13
patbarronThat was one of the ones I was considering buying recently.  :-)01:15
patbarronOnly reason I didn't is that I was hoping for a 1 TB hard drive.01:16
patbarronBut I like the ASUS motherboard, and the AMD Phenom II X6 processor.01:16
SadinMeh 500gb is enough for NodeJS/Ruby/RubyOnRails/PHP repositories01:18
patbarronYeah, I would agree.  I only want a mess of disk space because I'm going to be running a bunch of virtual machines.01:19
Sadinpatbarron prolly running #! linux on it for a workstation since its built of one of the most stable OSes for Servers Debian01:20
Sadinor Debian with no GUI or CentOS01:22
patbarronI was just going to ask why not just run Debian.  :-)  (I don't know much about #!, so just curious...).  CentOS is a good choice too.01:23
Sadinpatbarron cause i just dont like debian and love the #! community as well01:26
Sadin:)01:26
Sadini mea i like dedian just not all the extra junk on it debian6 minimal 64bit is running on my VPS01:26
patbarronThere's something to be said for that.  ;-)  I have some servers at work that I run minimal Debian on, and I have no complaints.01:27
patbarronI spent much of the afternoon today fighting with Arch Linux (because someone's interested in it for a Linux installfest I'm helping to run this week).  Yuck.  Not recommended (by me, anyway... ;-) ).01:29
Sadinpatbarron arch was really fun01:29
Sadini used to only use arch but i wanted to keep my gaming computer and i wanted to sell my windows laptop for $$$ to buy an intuos 4 drawing/design tablet01:30
patbarronMade me really appreciate how easy Debian and Fedora have gotten...  Arch seemed to have too many things you have to tweak by hand.  (And Xorg is completely broken when running it under VMware right now - it's a bug, they know about it, just not fixed yet...)01:30
Sadini have a macbook i know can run debian/#! its just im not to sure about being okay with a one button track pad....01:30
Sadinpatbarron yes im on the fedora design team and it did that for me too01:31
Sadinpatbarron #! is like a complete openbox enviornment for Debian that works out of the box that is meant for cutomization LIKE arch but works right away and gives you stuff to work with01:31
patbarronI'll have to check into it, sounds like it could be fun...01:32
Sadinyeah it is great community too01:33
Sadinthey accept all distros01:33
