rjfvillarosa - Not local, maybe 1.5hours away. Looks like they do delivery though. You had good experience with them? I could go down one day and have a look round if im bored but it is a bit of a ways out. I live in the back of beyond in Essex currently.
glc - with cabling in the house for instance with my PS3 would this be approriate:
PS3 -> wall socket - cable - wall socket -> patch panel -> switch
Or:
PS3 -> wall socket - cable -> patch panel -> switch
There wouldnt be any real signal loss by adding another wall socket would there? it would also be a lot tidyer than having a bunch of cables hanging out of the plaster!
With regards to hardware ive been looking at the HP Microservers they have at the minute, They look like pretty good kit for the price (low power, upgradeable etc). Anyone have experience with these?
I think they do raid 0/1 out of the box but they have a pci slot that i could stick another raid card in for raid 5 if i need to (I think?) not 100% sure the number of bays in the case with these. Ill have a look. More worried about processor/ram resources with these, they SHOULD be ok but not sure. Also they look like they would be ok to run inside a cupboard which is handy!
