I'm building a server for the local freenet that is going to need 99%+ uptime. Besides disks, I think power supplies are probably the most likely thing to go (maybe more than disks with a lot of the crappy pc hardware out there), so what do you guys running "big iron" that _has_ to be up like in the way of power supplies? This will be a dual PII system with a bunch of disks -- it's likely to get hot, so a case that performs well as far as managing heat will be good as well. Short of rack-mount, what do you folks favor? What's a good rack-mount case? I assume there are no problems with the current incarnation of the intel eexpress pro/100? The config is going to be: Tyan 1696dlua dual pentium II mobo , adaptec 7895 onboard 384 megs SDRAM 2 x PII 233 intel ee pro lots of disk (I like IBM and Seagate right now for reliability, comments?) We're actually moving from Solaris on Sparc because we've just gotten sick of the security issues. We just installed Sol 2.7 and buffer overflows that worked in 2.5 and were patched are still there. Unbelievable. thanks, Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
