My server arrived!! HP ProLiant DL360 G7. 48GB of RAM, 8-core Xeon 😊😊😊

Looks good

Sexi

What will you do with it? Are you going to plug it in at home or somewhere else?

📌

At first I didn't see the server, so I expected a joke about the cloud. Disappointing.

Whoa couldn't ++ more

Can it store porn vids?

@Argentus I’ll be using it to host my personal website and email and stuff, and hosting a couple of game servers. Also an upspin server probably. And yeah, I’ll plug it in at home

@Clueless it sure can

@iKameo not at all. This server is 460W, but I haven’t really been worrying about the cost of that since I’m not personally paying for electricity. 120W is just under my iMac’s average running wattage, so that should be fine I think

@PHInteractive oh sorry, at maximum load I believe

@Paramite yes, but I’d have to get dosbox and a graphical OS

@gamingfail123 already asked

Which cpu? 1 or more of them?
Did you buy it new or used?
It looks good

Someone: 48 gigs of ram? Why dont you mine using this machine?

@martikyan Because he makes a better use of it.

@usethedocsluke ik, 98% of role in mining is the number of cores

@Klanowicz roblox is better

@rasm945i 2 Intel Xeon, can’t remember the exact one though

@zacg awww

@rasm945i I can check tomorrow, I just got into bed though

So, Minecraft?

@zacg okie :P

@Condor definitely. I was looking for 1-server racks and they don’t seem to exist. And, to buy a rack with like, 8 slots, would look ridiculous with just 1 server

@zacg the obvious solution would be to acquire 7 more servers

@rasm945i 2x Xeon E5520 2.26Ghz, 8M cache

@FMashiro ah yes, how did I not think of that? 🤔

Update: in the loft :)

Weird about of ram lol

@jeeper yeah, it is a bit. 12 sticks of 8GB

@zacg sweet
@jeeper i got a server with 48 gigs of ram as well, i thought it was normal

@zacg edit: I meant 12 sticks of 4 lol

@rEaL-jAsE 🤔🤔

@rEaL-jAsE thanks 😊😊

On first sight, I thought you bought some insane laptop...

G7.. Niicceeee!

When I saw this it reminded me of one a wood sawing table.

Why it's the server so flat?

@billgates it’s supposed to go in a rack with a load of other servers

@zacg yea i just didnt realize servers were that long and flat, thought they were like smaller.... maybe some have the hardware stacked so theyre taller vs flat?

Can it run Crysis?

@billgates there’s U which measures the height. So 1U 2U 3U etc. it sort of references how many pegs it takes up in the rack.

Then there’s quarter half or full rack. This measures depth. Server racks are a set length. Most servers will be full rack, switches half or quarter depending on how big. There are half rack servers though.

@billgates the picture here is of a 1U full rack server. A 2U full rack server looks shorter but it’s an illusion caused by the proportions.
