Rating

• A must for ears, so quiet and so easy to install (only if you reduce voltage of fans from 12V to 5V as on PC2).
• I recommend you a middle or big tower to install everything inside (as on PC1)
• I recommend you to choose the smallest radiator available (the senfu on PC1 provide good performance at a noise level you can not hear!!!!)
• Expensive? yes¨but:
  1. You can use part during years...You must admit that this is not the case with your air cooling radiator. For example: forget you Alpha pal 6035 with your latest XP 3000, it is only validated till 1500MHz, it cost me alone 50€
  2. You can choose a less expensive radiator, or buy an old one from an old car, but you will have to cleaned it properly.
  3. You do not need 2 or 3 ventilators, one is enough.
• Maintenance? every 6 months check the coolant.

• A german one: Der Eheim Mod 1+2 -Abhilfe bei lauter 1048/1046 Pumpe ? the trick is to wrap teflon tape around the impellor and then replacing the head back (pictures are self explanatory)

Penguin computing power!

Here we goes, I've receive yesterday all missing hardware to finish the building of my own NAS. A NAS (or Network Attached Storage) is a hard disk storage device that is set up with its own network address rather than being attached directly to the computer that is serving applications or files to a network's users. By using a NAS, both applications and files can be served faster because they are not competing for the same processor resources. The NAS is attached to a local area network (typically, an Ethernet network) and assigned an IP address. ... Here is some pictures...Nothing really special, if You already know how to build a computer by Your own...
