Razver -- My server build

$

Hi everyone!

 

I've been thinking about building a real server (NFS/samba, owncloud, git, apache, FTP) for a while. Before I was running a virtual server on my desktop on Ubuntu, but that wasn't that clever or usable..

So, the other day I found a used Asus E45M1-M Pro motherboard/APU combo for 40 euros, so I bought it. Accompanied with 4 gigs of RAM, a spare SSD, an old PSU and the 2TB harddisk from the Redefine, the build cost about 70 euros.. Not bad.

 

I wanted to put the server into my closet so it would be out of sight. Therefore, the assembly is a bit ghetto-ish, but hey, its quiet and cool and it works → deal with it ;)

 

Alright, photos.

The above is the SSD. It was.. Uhm.. so well screwed in to the SSD slot in the back of the Redefine's mobo tray that I had to.. Well.. Remove its casing (I didn't want to remove the mobo, because then I would've had to empty & reassembly the cooling loop and all that sh1t..). BUT it still works!

 

Onward!

As some of you may have reckoned already, the mobo (and everything else) hangs from the shelf.

 

JokuTyyppi helped me again, so thanks bro!

 

Down there is my gigabit switch, made by TP-LINK. It cost 17 euros (new) and gives me ~90MBps in the LAN, which is pretty well for such a minimum-budget system. Currently I have a 4G LTE Internet connection, so my U/D is at about 40/80 Mbps -> good enough ;)

 

The system is running the latest stable Debian and has NFS, owncloud and therefore Apache working for now. I only have the 120G ssd and the 2TB harddisk, so no backup system yet (gonna have one in the future, though).

 

Thanks for reading, sorry about such a tiny post :)
