I only know one way to say this...

Uranus is all clean and sparkly again!
I managed to get us a replacement LAN server that is a true 1U SuperMicro. It's older, but not as outdated as our current Desktop Mobo Intel Core 2 Duo system. It weighs a bunch less, is shallow depth and thanks to one staff member is running a licensed version of Server 2012 R2 Standard instead if Server 2003 Std.
I upgraded the main boot drive from 500GB to 1TB WD Blue, used but in good working order, and am consolidating the 2TB WD Green that was the main file share, and WD500 that was the media share drive into one, provided the 500GB media share drive is not totally corrupted....it is having cylinder issues. We should get most of the data back anyway if not all. So now we will have a 1TB boot and a 2TB share drive in a 1U real server!
It and two 24 Port Gigabit switches, the old wifi 802.11g, and our unused router (Netgear 336G) will go into the original carry case and all weigh less than our original server and 24 port switch combo. It'll make it's debut at the next OKGG, which hopefully more than 8 will attend next time...hint...hint.
See you there! _________________ Technology Unlimited * www.techunl.net * (405) 773-6037 * [email protected]
