Part one http://blog.autopsy.se/2010/05/new-server-case-sucks-part-one/ http://blog.autopsy.se/2010/05/new-server-case-sucks-part-one/#comments Mon, 17 May 2010 13:55:58 +0000 ube http://blog.autopsy.se/?p=102 Well, been a long time since I did anything computer related, at least something that takes more than five minutes to fix (excluding surfing the web from my couch). But now I decided to replace my Antec P182 case with a Chenbro ES34069.

I've been looking for a mini-itx case and was considering on going for some atom based mobo, but then I found the ZOTAC G43-ITX SOCKET 775 MINI-ITX which has everything I need to convert from my old system: 5 SATA ports and socket 775. So with a little bit of luck I can use my "old" Q6600 processor. The specs for the mobo states only 65W TDP but I've found a post at their forums stating that with sufficient cooling everyting "should" be ok. So problem one done.

Problem two:
I need to find a low profile heatsink that supports 95W processors. I should probably get the Chenbro case and the mobo and then do some measurements on which height  the heatsink can have.

Found this build description online so I know what I have to look forward to for now.

(really) but my friends rocks! http://blog.autopsy.se/2008/10/my-powersupply-sucks-really-but-my-friends-rocks/ http://blog.autopsy.se/2008/10/my-powersupply-sucks-really-but-my-friends-rocks/#comments Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:21:09 +0000 ube http://blog.autopsy.se/?p=9 My server at home went down on Friday evening.. I guess it was the power supply or a power outage, probably the latter. However, it did not restart when the power went back on. I know I set the BIOS to start the computer when the power came back. But it did not.

So my very best friend went to my apartment and resetted the power, and it worked! Thank god! I would not managed without my server at home, neither would my colleagues..
