fregac All American 4731 Posts user info edit post	1: 3x Intel SR1200 Dual-Processor 1U Rackmount Servers These are the same model Intel servers used by a lot of hosting and colocation companies as managed machines. They have an excellent reputation for reliability and ease of use. They'd make great web/database servers, and of course are excellent for colo! Specifications: Dual 1.13GHz PIII Tualatin CPUs, 133MHz FSB w 512k L2 Cache 2GB Ram (4x 512MB Modules, expandable to 6GB) Slimline CDROM/Floppy Option Installed Intel Server SCB2 Motherboard, Serverworks Enterprise Serverset III Chipset Dual channel U160 SCSI Controller Dual Integrated Intel Pro/100+ Ethernet Adapters Front and rear USB ports 2x 64-Bit 66MHz PCI Risers, 1x full hight 1x low profile (Separate PCI buses!) Integrated ATI Video I don't have the drive caddies for these machines (they were unfortunately pulled along with the hard drives for security reasons), but they're inexpensive to replace ([link]http://www.deal-stop.com/CSIN105_INTEL-HOT-SWAP-DRIVE-CARRIER.lmsp?refer=froogle">This site for example). Alternatively, the drive backplanes are standard SCA2 connectors, and drives are easily held in place with a small amount of double-sided tape. I also have one of these that takes standard IDE drives instead of SCSI, but that's tentatively spoken for. If that doesn't go through it'll be available as well. $150 each, $260 for both 2: Salient 48 Drive FC-AL Array Setup, 1.7TB Capacity This system is a fully configured hardware RAID platform, with three 12-Drive Salient JBOD shelves attached to one SS-1202-FC-RAID 12-Drive Salient shelf configured with dual active hardware raid controllers. This system supports full hot-failover cache concurrent operation, with RAID levels of 1, 0, 0+1, 3, 5, 10, 30, and 50. This would be an excellent choice for high-availability database or data storage systems, and its tremendous expandability allows it to scale to any needed capacity. Since 1.6" Fibre Channel drives are so cheap on eBay, you could easily replace the drives in this system to get a ridiculously huge array. The built-in RAID systems can handle multiple sizes and combinations of drives in various LUN configurations, and its all done transparently of the OS. Just plug it up to your server or desktop and it will show up as one huge disk! Using optical cables you can have it as far away from the host system as needed. Included: 1x Salient SS-1202-FC-RAID 12-Drive FC Enclosure With: 12x 36.7GB 10k rpm Seagate Cheetah FC Drives 1x SS-OP2-1202FC-B Ops Panel 2x SS-FFX1X12-IO-B Loop Controllers 2x SR-RAID-1202-GB-128 Hardware RAID Controllers (Dual Active) 2x 550 Watt Hot-Swappable Power Supplies 1x Salient SS-1202-FC 12-Drive FC JBOD Enclosure With: 12x 36.7GB 10k rpm Seagate Cheetah FC Drives 1x SS-OP2-1202FC-B Ops Panel 2x SS-FFX1X12-IO-B Loop Controllers 2x 550 Watt Hot-Swappable Power Supplies 2x Salient SS-1201-FC 12-Drive FC JBOD Enclosures With: 12x 36.7GB 10k rpm Seagate Cheetah FC Drives 2x SS-OPS2-1201-FC Ops Panel 2x SS-FC1x12-IO Loop Controllers 2x 550 Watt Hot-Swappable Power Supplies Manufacturer's Information: http://www.xyratex.com/pdfs/products/storage-systems/ds/27393-09B.pdf Features: • Supports latest storage technologies including 15,000 rpm and 180GB drives • High level of drive packaging density – 12 1” or 1.625” high disks in 7” (4U) rack space • Cost effective, modular and flexible design allowing customization • Hot pluggable disk drives, PSUs, fans, I/O modules, RAID modules & ops panel • All modules fault tolerant • High performance RAID (levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5, 30, 50) controller option mounts in rear • Second RAID controller option allows dual active automatic failover operation • Second RAID controller may be remotely located up to 10 km away • Expansion capability of the 2 FC-AL loops provides over 17 Terabytes capacity • 200 MB/s (dual FC-AL loops) • Expansion to 96 drives per RAID subsystem • Two hot pluggable 550W PSUs & fans offering full redundancy • Exceptional cooling and zoned RFI shielding • Hot-pluggable, lockable FC-AL disk drive carriers using SCA-2 connector • Disk drive operation and fault status LEDs on each carrier • Enclosure services monitoring of power, cooling and drive bays • SES (SFF 8067) compliant enclosure status reporting • Copper (DB9) or Fibre (GBIC) host and drive expansion connection options • FCC class A or B, CISPR-A or CISPR-B, CE (IEC950/EN60951), UL, cUL • Optional Distributed Array Manager Configurator for Solaris, Linux and Irix operating systems • Supports SAN Mapping to control access of servers to LUNs in the array Pictures: Asking $800 for everything! 3: Dell Powervault 136T SDLT Tape Library This massive storage library would be excellent for periodic backups, especially with the way hard drive capacity has skyrocketed. Now there IS a way to back up all that important data and store it securely! Great for large video files or data/image collections, or for backing up the hard drives of an entire office's worth of equipment on a regular basis. Specifications: 1x Quantum SDLT 320 Drive (expandable to 6) 3x 15-Tape Storage Columns (45 tape total capacity) Single-Slot Mailbox loader Installed SNC 5101 Fibre Channel Controller, with: 2Gbps Fibre Channel, LC optical connectors (GBICs Included) 4x LVD SCSI Connectors, VHDCI Connectors 10/100 Ethernet Dual Redundant Power Supplies Web Management Capability (Ethernet) Total Storage Capacity: 14.4 Terabytes Drive throughput: 32MB/sec (Per drive, 64MB buffer) Tape Format: Super DLTtape 1 Included are all necessary cables to set up and connect the library via SCSI, as well as one extra drive cable for future expansion. Manufacturer's information: http://www.xsi.com.au/documents/Scalar100_Datasheet.pdf Pictures: Asking $1000 I doubt anybody here will have use for this, but hey its worth a shot. Honestly probably just the DLT320 drive is worth more than my asking price, heh. [Edited on February 13, 2008 at 12:21 AM. Reason : html] 2/13/2008 12:15:22 AM

brokenbit Starting Lineup 82 Posts user info edit post	these look hot if you know what i mean.................. 2/14/2008 6:23:23 PM
fregac All American 4731 Posts user info edit post	Heh, I have paperwork/receipts for all of the equipment . . . . none of it is "hot". I'm surprised, usually by this time there'd be a few insultingly low offers on something. 2/14/2008 7:07:17 PM
bous All American 11215 Posts user info edit post	how much power does the dell tape thing draw? does it actually have 14.4tb in it? i may buy it. good for data storage that isn't accessed but by 1 person? 32MB/sec would be plenty.

bous All American 11215 Posts user info edit post	friend is interested. i know nothing about tapes, but i guess it is only good for backing up a whole server or whatever since it's sequential. 2/14/2008 9:15:23 PM
