Mini Case and motherboard for Mini Server

hey guys
I have an old gaming computer with decent Ram and CPU with a large motherboard and big case
I want to salvage it and condense it down to a mini server 
I want to put in it my i5-3570k (1155 socket) CPU
12GB ram
And my 2 x 1TB 3.5 HDD's and 1 SSD
I have a DVD burner as well, but not sure if i need that but it could come in handy
Can anyone suggest any specific brands of these cases and mini motherboards to suit that socket?
I just want this for learning purposes and install some VM's to play around with at home

Start with one of these MB:newegg.com | ITX LGA 1155 Boardsornewegg.com | Micro ATX LGA 1155 Boards.As far as size its ITX at the smallest and then Micro ATX a bit bigger. Case is going to depend on the MB standard and features you want. I recommend getting one that's a little on the bigger side if you're air cooling or consider an AIO liquid cooling like the Corsair Hx series. It'll help keep you temperatures under control and keep the noise down. Even then, go for a case on the bigger side since you're probably going to want to run 24/7.

    Hi there,
    I have a Mac Book Pro from 2008. I have mountain lion running on it.
    We used to have a server (pc) in the office that I connected to and stored all of my photos and videos etc.
    We have jsut upgraded to a new server and this connects great!
    However, ever since the switch, when i open keynote, imovie or iphoto i get the error message:

  • Cases and Accessories for 5G iPods

    Ok, so ever since I purchased my Black 60GB iPod I started reading about how easily it scratched and realized I needed to get a case for it immediately. I was also surprised to discover that my old iTrip and other top docking accessories no longer worked with the 5G iPods. So I began to research my options for cases and accessories, and here's what I came across:
    This is a silicone case from zCover that seems to be the only 5G specific case that is available and shipping now.
    http://www.zcover.com/zCoverProduct_iPod_G5Original.htm
    Here are 6 different options for cases offered by Speck sometime in mid-November.
    http://www.speckproducts.com/for-video.html
    Tunewear has several different options available for the 5G's. The silicone case (ICEWEAR 5G) can be found here: http://www.tunewear.com/english/product/icewear_5g/index.html
    The wallet-sized leather case (PRIE TUNEWALLET 5G) can be found here: http://www.tunewear.com/english/product/tunewallet_5g/
    And finally the leather case with belt clip and hook (PRIE Ambassador) can be found here: http://www.tunewear.com/english/product/ambassadoripod5g/index.html
    All of these cases are shipping sometime in November and all come included with Tunewear's TUNEFILM 5G which can also be purchased separately, found here: http://www.tunewear.com/english/product/tunefilm_5g/index.html
    Another leather case option is being offered by difusi. Here is their VideoValet case, stated to be shipping sometime this week: http://www.difusi.tv/hardware/casemini/videovalet.html
    Since most of these cases haven't been released yet, I decided to fashion my own case for the time being. This option will probably only work for those of you who purchased the 60 GB iPods, because the 30GB 5G's are significantly thinner than their 20GB and 30GB 3G and 4G counterparts. But anyway, I purchased a cheap silicone case for a 20GB iPod from Best Buy (you can probably find one anywhere that sells iPod accessories for around $10-$15) and a pack of PDA screen protectors. Since the height and width of the new iPods are exactly the same (the thickness or depth of the new 60GB is close enough to the 20GB and 30GB 4G's) and the click wheel and dock connector seem to be in the same place, it was only the screen size that needed to be adjusted. So I cut the case to make the entire screen visible, used a small amount of heat with a lighter to melt the cut edges firm, and then cut a screen protector to fit. This is a crude option, but it has worked for me so far and I don't have a scratch on it yet.
    As for other accessories available, allabouttheaccessories.com has nearly all accessories that are currently available and compatible with the 5G video capable iPods listed here: http://www.allabouttheaccessories.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=193
    As most of you know, the current incarnations of Griffin's t fit in the older case. Obviously the edges of the iTrip, perhaps the most popular FM transmitter for the iPod, are not compatible with the new 5G iPods. For some reason, Apple did away with the external power port on top of the new iPods, and therefore it is unlikely that there will be any accessories, including iTrip, iTalk, remotes, etc. that will dock on top of the iPod. Instead, most will use the dock connector port on the bottom of the iPod, which isn't all bad and actually offers some benefits. Griffin's new iTrip that will use this port can be found here: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itrip30/techspecs.php And with a simple mini USB to standard USB cable, you can charge your iPod using a number of car chargers that use the USB cable (including Griffin's PowerJolt of course).
    Anyway, hope this post helps those of you searching for new stuff for your 5G iPods. Despite the criticism I've read, this device is a huge step for iPods and has a ton of potential. Sure there are a few things that need to get worked out, but the bottom line is they've added all t

    I did a quick search on Best Buy and came up with the following...
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=&id=pcat17071&type=pa...

  • Increase Performance and ROI for SQL Server Environments

    May 2015

    The Buzz from Microsoft Ignite 2015
    NetApp was in full force at the recent Microsoft Ignite show in Chicago, talking about solutions for hybrid cloud, and our proven solutions for Microsoft SQL Server and other Microsoft applications.
    Hot topics at the NetApp booth included:
    OnCommand® Shift. A revolutionary technology that lets you move virtual machines back and forth between VMware and Hyper-V environments in minutes.
    Azure Site Recovery to NetApp Private Storage. Replicate on-premises SAN-based applications to NPS for disaster recovery in the Azure cloud.
    These tools give you greater flexibility for managing and protecting important business applications.
    Chris Lemmons
    Director, EIS Technical Marketing, NetApp
    If your organization runs databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle DB, you probably know that these vendors primarily license their products on a "per-core" basis. Microsoft recently switched to "per-core" rather than "per-socket" licensing for SQL Server 2012 and 2014. This change can have a big impact on the total cost of operating a database, especially as core counts on new servers continue to climb. It turns out that the right storage infrastructure can drive down database costs, increase productivity, and put your infrastructure back in balance.
    In many customer environments, NetApp has noticed that server CPU utilization is low—often on the order of just 20%. This is usually the result of I/O bottlenecks. Server cores have to sit and wait for I/O from hard disk drives (HDDs). We've been closely studying the impact of all-flash storage on SQL Server environments that use HDD-based storage systems. NetApp® All Flash FAS platform delivers world-class performance for SQL Server plus the storage efficiency, application integration, nondisruptive operations, and data protection of clustered Data ONTAP®, making it ideal for SQL Server environments.
    Tests show that All Flash FAS can drive up IOPS and database server CPU utilization by as much as 4x. And with a 95% reduction in latency, you can achieve this level of performance with half as many servers. This reduces the number of servers you need and the number of cores you have to license, driving down costs by 50% or more and paying back your investment in flash in as little as six months.
    Figure 1) NetApp All Flash FAS increases CPU utilization on your SQL Server database servers, lowering costs.
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    Whether you're running one of the newer versions of SQL Server or facing an upgrade of an earlier version, you can't afford not to take a second look at your storage environment.
    End of Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is Rapidly Approaching
    Microsoft has set the end of extended support for SQL Server 2005 for April 2016—less than a year away. With support for Microsoft Windows 2003 ending in July 2015, time may already be running short.
    If you're running Windows Server 2003, new server hardware is almost certainly needed when you upgrade SQL Server. Evaluate your server and storage options now to get costs under control.
    Test Methodology
    To test the impact of flash on SQL Server performance, we replaced a legacy HDD-based storage system with an All Flash FAS AFF8080 EX. The legacy system was configured with almost 150 HDDs, a typical configuration for HDD storage supporting SQL Server. The AFF8080 EX used just 48 SSDs.
    Table 1) Components used in testing.
    Test Configuration Components
    Details
    SQL Server 2014 servers
    Fujitsu RX300
    Server operating system
    Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 Standard Edition
    SQL Server database version
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition
    Processors per server
    2 6-core Xeon E5-2630 at 2.30 GHz
    Fibre channel network
    8Gb FC with multipathing
    Storage controller
    AFF8080 EX
    Data ONTAP version
    Clustered Data ONTAP® 8.3.1
    Drive number and type
    48 SSD
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    The test configuration consisted of 10 database servers connected through fibre channel to both the legacy storage system and the AFF8080 EX. Each of the 10 servers ran SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.
    The publicly available HammerDB workload generator was used to drive an OLTP-like workload simultaneously from each of the 10 database servers to storage. We first directed the workload to the legacy storage array to establish a baseline, increasing the load to the point where read latency consistently exceeded 20ms.
    That workload was then directed at the AFF8080 EX. The change in storage resulted in an overall 20x reduction in read latency, a greater than 4x improvement in IOPS, and a greater than 4x improvement in database server CPU utilization.
    Figure 2) NetApp All Flash FAS increases IOPS and server CPU utilization and lowers latency.
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    In other words, the database servers are able to process four times as many IOPS with dramatically lower latency. CPU utilization goes up accordingly because the servers are processing 4x the work per unit time.
    The All Flash FAS system still had additional headroom under this load.
    Calculating the Savings
    Let's look at what this performance improvement means for the total cost of running SQL Server 2014 over a 3-year period. To do the analysis we used NetApp Realize, a storage modeling and financial analysis tool designed to help quantify the value of NetApp solutions and products. NetApp sales teams and partners use this tool to assist with return on investment (ROI) calculations.
    The calculation includes the cost of the AFF8080 EX, eliminates the costs associated with the existing storage system, and cuts the total number of database servers from 10 to five. This reduces SQL Server licensing costs by 50%. The same workload was run with five servers and achieved the same results. ROI analysis is summarized in Table 2.
    Table 2) ROI from replacing an HDD-based storage system with All Flash FAS, thereby cutting server and licensing costs in half.

    Analysis Results
    ROI
    65%
    Net present value (NPV)
    $950,000
    Payback period

    Total cost reduction
    More than $1 million saved over a 3-year analysis period compared to the legacy storage system
    Savings on power, space, and administration
    $40,000
    Additional savings due to nondisruptive operations benefits (not included in ROI)
    $90,000
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    The takeaway here is that you can replace your existing storage with All Flash FAS and get a big performance bump while substantially reducing your costs, with the majority of the savings derived from the reduction in SQL Server licensing costs.
    Replace your existing storage with All Flash FAS and get a big performance bump while substantially reducing your costs.
    Maximum SQL Server 2014 Performance
    In addition to the ROI analysis, we also measured the maximum performance of the AFF8080 EX with SQL Server 2014. A load-generation tool was used to simulate an industry-standard TPC-E OLTP workload against an SQL Server 2014 test configuration.
    A two-node AFF8080 EX achieved a maximum throughput of 322K IOPS at just over 1ms latency. For all points other than the maximum load point, latency was consistently under 1ms and remained under 0.8ms up to 180K IOPS.
    Data Reduction and Storage Efficiency
    In addition to performance testing, we looked at the overall storage efficiency savings of our SQL Server database implementation. The degree of compression that can be achieved is dependent on the actual data that is written and stored in the database. For this environment, inline compression was effective. Deduplication, as is often the case in database environments, provided little additional storage savings and was not enabled.
    For the test data used in the maximum performance test, we measured a compression ratio of 1.5:1. We also tested inline compression on a production SQL Server 2014 data set to further validate these results and saw a 1.8:1 compression ratio.
    Space-efficient NetApp Snapshot® copies provide additional storage efficiency benefits for database environments. Unlike snapshot methods that use copy-on-write, there is no performance penalty; unlike full mirror copies, NetApp Snapshot copies use storage space sparingly. Snapshot copies only consume a small amount of storage space for metadata and additional incremental space is consumed as block-level changes occur. In a typical real-world SQL Server deployment on NetApp storage, database volume Snapshot copies are made every two hours.
    First introduced more than 10 years ago, NetApp FlexClone® technology also plays an important role in SQL Server environments. Clones are fully writable, and, similar to Snapshot copies, only consume incremental storage capacity. With FlexClone, you can create as many copies of production data as you need for development and test, reporting, and so on. Cloning is a great way to support the development and test work needed when upgrading from an earlier version of SQL Server. You'll sometimes see these types of capabilities referred to as "copy data management."
    A Better Way to Run Enterprise Applications
    The performance benefits that all-flash storage can deliver for database environments are significant: more IOPS, lower latency, and an end to near-constant performance tuning.
    If you think the performance acceleration that comes with all-flash storage is cost prohibitive, think again. All Flash FAS doesn't just deliver a performance boost, it changes the economics of your operations, paying for itself with thousands in savings on licensing and server costs. In terms of dollars per IOPS, All Flash FAS is extremely economical relative to HDD.
    And, because All Flash FAS runs NetApp clustered Data ONTAP, it delivers the most complete environment to support SQL Server and all your enterprise applications with capabilities that include comprehensive storage efficiency, integrated data protection, and deep integration for your applications.
    For complete details on this testing look for NetApp TR-4303, which will be available in a few weeks. Stay tuned to Tech OnTap for more information as NetApp continues to run benchmarks with important server workloads including Oracle DB and server virtualization.

  • Speck SeeThru case and Zeroshock for 15" Macbook

    I'm wondering, does anyone else have this combination of the Speck Seethru case and the Zeroshock sleeve for the 15" Macbook?
    I'm just making sure that the combination will fit, I wouldn't think it would have a problem, but I'd like to make sure.

    I am using the speck case with a neoprene sleve from incase and have no problems. I love the speck case! You can use on you lap and it actually shields from most heat to allow you to work! It is very low profile and I still have plenty of room in the sleeve.

    Keyboards get liquid on then and they are pretty much finished.
    Also dust is a big problem, there are vents in the back on each side near the black strip crack, somehow the dust collects on the inside grill, so somehow something has to wipe it a bit to force it the rest of the way out, perhaps a high vacuum or a short blast of air to disturb it a little or something.

    Hi would raid mirror be good enough support configuration on single server run both essentials server 2012  and  exchange 2013  new to exchange look for input and suggestions 
    user load is very light just 5  
    boot disk  120 gig ssd  on it own Controller run 2012 run with hyper v installed
    2 x 3 Tb raid 1 by Lsi 1064e raid control   essentials server 2012  disk are vhdx fixed size  two each

    1) Boot Hyper-V from cheap SATA or even USB stick (see link below). No point in wasting SSD for that. Completely agree with Eric. See:
    Run Hyper-V from USB Flash
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj733589.aspx
    2) Don't use RAID controllers in RAID mode rather (as you already got them) stick with HBA mode passing disks AS IS, add some more SSDs and configure Storage Spaces in RAID10 equivalent mode and use SSDs as a flash cache. See:
    Storage Spaces Overview
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831739.aspx
    Because having single pool touching all spindles would provide you better IOPS compared to creating "islands of storage" that are waste or performance and hell of management.
    3) Come up with IOPS requirements for your workload (no idea from above) keeping in mind RAID10 provides ALL IOPS for reads and half IOPS for writes (because of mirroring). So as single SATA can do maybe 120-150 IOPS and single SAS can do up to 200 (you
    don't provide any model names so we have to guess) you may calculate how many IOPS your config would give away in a best and worst case scenario (write back cache from above will help but you always need to come from a WORST case). See calculator link below.

    Hope this helped a bit :)
    StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

  • I purchased a Mota Battery case and protection for my iPhone 4s,  will I encounter any problems with this new device?

    I currently have an iPhone 4s with an otterbox cover which provides excellent protection for my iPhone.  I am an electrician and the environment my phone can be exposed to at times can be hostile at times.  Do you know of and Otterbox which would accommodate your product purchased by me with Package ID 6629239.  I still have product in box and am curious as to what type of protection I can receive for my phone.  Any suggestions.  Have you teamed up with otttebox to make a cover which would be compatible to the current cover being sold by them?
    Thank you,
    Tom Quesada
    This is the email I sent them concerning the case, my question applies  to you all as well.  Another question I had was concerning the battery and any interference it may have with any apps or actions taken by using my iPhone.  Any suggestions or past experiences would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Tom Quesda

    Hopefully you contacted Otterbox directly.
    Take a look at Mophie devices as well, they provide some nice battery cases for iPhones (and other devices) and have a line that provides similar protection to Ottterboxes.

  • Load balancing and clustering for SQL SERVER ANALYSIS SERVER instances to access large number of concurrent users for bi site

    HI
    how to do analysis server clustering 
    we have sharepoint bi site and we published many dashboards pointers ,filters kpis 
    and at a time some 200 to 300 concurrent users access these dashboards pages
    so for maintain this requirement how we apply clustering for ssas intances 
    and also it has load balancing 
    adil

    Hi Adil,
    According to your description, you want to implement SQL Server Analysis Services Clusster and Analysis Services Load Balancing, right?
    In SSAS, we can design highly available solutions in Analysis Services by using: network load balancing (NLB) technologies, failover clustering technologies, or both. For the details about implemention, please refer to the links below.

  • "DFS Replication service is not installed" but event viewer is showing 4202 and 4204 for the server

    There are two servers replicating file information, sending member is Server 2008 R2 Datacenter, the receiving member is Server 2003 R2 Standard. There have been no serious problems with this replication set previously.
    Running a health report shows an error against the 2008 server, stating that the DFS Replication service is not installed, though the service is running on the server, and has been restarted today.
    Running dfsrdiag backlog on either server shows "Failed to connect to WMI services on computer %2008 server%"
    Event logs on the receiving server show events 4202 and 4204 (high watermark for staging area) for these two servers?
    Can someone help; is replication occurring, or is it broken? Where else can I look for information?
    TIA

    Just had a very similar instance to this but with a 2008 R2 server replicating to a NAS running Windows Storage Server 2012. 
    I have health reports running as scheduled tasks, twice daily, and a few days ago the morning report for this particular server was fine but on the afternoon's report advised that the replication service was not installed, yet DFSR events are still being
    logged and replication to the target is still working normally - go figure!!
    Have yet to reboot the server as it is live but have found nothing in any of its logs to indicate a problem and/or DFSR is not running when it clearly is!!
    The DFS management option has gone from the Administrative Tools panel, though, and is showing as 'Not Installed' under the File Services role.
    The health report shows a status of 'Indeterminate' and in its 'Suggested Action'
    ...ensure Windows 2003 R2 is installed on this server and that the DFS replication service was installed....
    (guessing a default message given the server in error is 2008 )
    Will be interesting to see if the other 2008 R2 servers start losing the plot!

  • Itunes and ipad for music server?

    what would be the best way to setup a music server for a restaurant? the back office machine(pc), will have all the music on it .. an ipad, connected to the back office pc via wireless network should be able to select playlists and songs ..
    how would i set that up?

    Download the iPad app 'Remote' - unfortunately although it's an Apple app they haven't iPad'ed it yet. Use iTunes on the Windows machine and use the iPad to connect. Job done.

  • What is the default User Id and Password for Endeca Server Console

    Hell All,
    I have installed Endeca Server 7.6.0.0.0 in Windows 64-bit. When I try login to http://localhost:7001/endeca-server/console/ it asking Login id and Password to for "sh_sample" datadomin that i imported from SampleApp. I tried using Admin Server user id and it did not work.
    Please help.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    It is possible that you are asking about these two issues:
    1. SH sample data set is a data set that can be used with the Endeca Server, outside of the context of Studio. In particular, this data set represents an already created index, and thus can be queried by using SOAP UI, or other tool for working with Endeca Server's web services directly. This data set does not include collections (in v.7.6.0.0), and thus cannot be viewed or worked with, in Studio (which, like Integrator, requires having collections, as compared to Endeca Server 7.6.0.0 in which collections are optional at ingest time).
    2. The Endeca Server Console that you are trying to use is packaged with the Endeca Server because it is part of the Data Enrichment Module. Data Enrichment Module includes the Console and plugins. You can use the plugins within Studio. The Console, although it is installed with the Endeca Server, is not intented to be used in this release (because the Data Enrichment plugins are available to users through Studio).
    To get back to your questions, if you would like to use SH data set, please see the instructions in the Endeca Server Installation Guide. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40521_01/server.760/es_install/toc.htm#Using%20the%20SH%20sample%20data
    As for the Console, it should not be used. Instead, use Studio's Enrichments. For information, please see: Enriching Data Set Attributes
