Im getting ready for a cross country move, and part of it will need to move my media server, the debate is which is better, let the movers put it on the truck with the rest of my belongings or take it with me in the trunk of my car?

for references its 12 mechanical drives and 1 ssd in a rosewill 4u server case

I say take the drives out and let the movers move it. If they were all SSD I would say leave it and let them move, but being platters I'd say pull them and you transport.

I would 100% pull the drives and wrap each one for transport. Linus even had a video where they moved a server across a parking lot on a rolling cart type thing and the vibration from that alone killed the server they were moving. Secure the drives if you care what's on them

Finally got all my parts in. So hopefully I have it out together by the end of the weekend.

 

[webby]

Gonna be a beast

 

[Gitrdone42]

I hope so. I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow to start working on it. Got the first few parts opened up and realized I've got some reading to do to make sure I don't screw it up. So I'll start with a fresh day.

Nice [emoji106] hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler ftw [emoji322] I like the new blacked out edition.

 

[fahnix]

Very nice! I have a very similar setup. Which CPU? 2700x?

I've got the exact same mobo with a 2700x, and my PSU is a Supernova as well. The board is a bit flashier than I'd like, but performs well.

 

[Gitrdone42]

Yep the 2700x

 

[Gitrdone42]

Got everything ready. Now just loading windows.

 

[fahnix]

Looks clean man.

What's that Thermaltake piece up top?

 

[Gitrdone42]

Oh that actually just a cheap speaker I had bought a while back for my old mac

 

[fahnix]

ah gotcha

 

[Gitrdone42]

Just curious what does everyone use for security or virus protection?

 

[webby]

Very nice! Did you get help with the rgb, or the header stuff worked?
