It’s time! In this post, I’ll be talking about the parts I chose, why I chose each one, and some of the lessons I’ve learned – oh boy, did I learn a lesson or two.
What’s In The Box(es)?
Dell PowerEdge R710 Server
This is the bulk of the order – literally, this box was way heavier than I imagined. The R710 I ordered from eBay (posting here) came with the following specifications:
- 2x Quad Core Intel Xeon E7705 Processors running at 2.26GHz
- 48 GB (12x4GB) PC2-10600R DDR3 Memory
- 2x 3.5″ Harddrive Caddies
- 1x PERC6i RAID controller with cables
