	Silent enough
	Permalink \| Comments [2] \| 2006-02-12 01:23

Now that I am in California I dropped by Bill Moore's office to take a look at the new Sun Ultra 40.

I wasn't completely silent, but silent enough for me to put in my home office. As soon as I get back to Sweden I will probably buy one so I get decent home system to work on.

Bill mentioned that I'd have to jump though some hoops to get the last 4 disk slots working, as the system doesn't come with the back plane and the cabling, but having lots of friends at the support side of things I should be able to find the right part number. That'll allow me to make it into a 4 TB server!

Comments:

Do you really want to use a DESKTOP-class system as a server? I would think you should know better...

I don't have the luxury of having a basement to put the server in, so I have to keep the system right beside my desk. If noise wasn't an issue, I'd buy an X4200, but it makes it hard to participate in conference calls with it running next to you :-)
