| ibeardslee | I've considered a siren in my PC case .. I'd seriously want to cause problems to someone who thought my PC/home servers would be better at their place. | 00:24 |
| G | actually, it'd be a good one to stop the cat jumping on mine | 00:25 |
| olly | morning | 20:26 |
| ibeardslee | morning snail .. how's life? | 20:31 |
| lifeless | o/ | 20:50 |
| ibeardslee | sigh .. started considering starting the conversion of my PCinto my homeserver (to get rid of the VIA C3 jobbie) .. but then started thinking I have 4 disks .. what if I want to upgrade? I don't want a full on PC sucking power | 21:01 |
| ibeardslee | what if I also managed to get a freeview capable card? | 21:02 |
| ibeardslee | a friggin' rabbit hole | 21:02 |
| lifeless | ibeardslee: lol | 21:09 |
| lifeless | ibeardslee: see my chat with G for the conclusion of that rabbit hole | 21:09 |
| ibeardslee | 'a conclusion' to the rabbit hole | 21:19 |
| ibeardslee | a lot of the reason to use what is my PC as a server disappeared when I got the well powered UltraLap .. don't really need it for dev/play VMs | 21:24 |
| lifeless | right | 21:29 |
| lifeless | with portable compute power so large | 21:30 |
| lifeless | fixed stuff has to be either super large, or disk storage :) | 21:30 |
| ibeardslee | I suppose ulimately I am after a decent ARM board with GB network and the ablity to deal with at least 4 sata disks | 21:30 |
| lifeless | what was that dev server unit again | 21:31 |
| ibeardslee | as storage and minimal network services (dhcp, dns, mail, irc client) | 21:31 |
| ibeardslee | the PC? an AMD 64 X2 | 21:32 |
| lifeless | no, there is a little server unit | 21:32 |
| ibeardslee | that intel NUC thing? | 21:33 |
| lifeless | no :) | 21:33 |
| lifeless | I'm just failing at googling it for you | 21:34 |
| lifeless | its a little arm unit, like the nuc, but arm. | 21:34 |
| ibeardslee | for a while I had looked at the HP N40L | 21:34 |
| lifeless | ibeardslee: http://trimslice.com/web/ | 21:37 |
| lifeless | man they fail at being googlable without the name | 21:38 |
| ibeardslee | if they could do better storage options | 21:41 |
| lifeless | yeah | 21:42 |
| lifeless | didn't remember the no-esata thing | 21:42 |
| lifeless | does have sata though | 21:42 |
| ibeardslee | single 2.5" | 21:43 |
| lifeless | ibeardslee: looks like http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-pc/fit-pc3-info/#techinfo has 2xesata | 21:44 |
| lifeless | (linked from the trim-fit) | 21:44 |
| lifeless | ibeardslee: http://www.fit-pc.com/fit-pc3/docs/fit-PC3-block-diagram.jpg looks like it might match your needs, though it isn't arm | 21:51 |
| ibeardslee | hmm seems you can get drive enclosures that plug into a sata port | 21:51 |
| lifeless | ibeardslee: I have an icydock 4 bay w/esata that I'm pretty happy with | 21:52 |
| lifeless | sourced locally, let me dig up a ref | 21:52 |
| lifeless | http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=33 | 21:52 |
| ibeardslee | looking at those on ascent | 21:53 |
| ibeardslee | so could be away without the multiple sata ports onboard | 21:54 |
| lifeless | http://www.computerstore.co.nz/MB561US-4SB-1.aspx | 21:54 |
| lifeless | is the actual place I got mine, FWIW | 21:55 |
| lifeless | it handles 3TB drives fine | 21:55 |
| ibeardslee | hmm no those sata-sata devices aren't actually a single sata connection :( | 21:58 |
| ibeardslee | ok .. now to start looking for an arm board with an esata port | 22:01 |
| lifeless | technically you want esata with/port multiplier support | 22:09 |
| ibeardslee | oh .. you can get a sheevaplug with esata | 22:12 |
| lifeless | !!! | 22:24 |
| * ibeardslee backs away from more rabbit holes | 22:24 | |
