This is the same Dell PE-2600 I got from the city's IT department that was bound for the compactor. I replaced the raid battery and re-installed Windows Server 2k3 Enterprise Edition on it and set it up as a NAS with a web UI.

Yes I am aware that there is more modern and faster hardware out there but this server is much more reliable than most of the reasonable server solutions out there within my budget today. Also it works and it was free so hell yeah I'm going to use it.

Hardware Brief:

Two Intel dual core Xeon CPU @ 2.80 GHz
3 GB ECC registered DDR RAM
Six 68 GB SCSI hard drives
LSI Perc 4 / di Raid system
Drive #0 - OS Boot and local apps
Drive #1- Mirrors #0
Drives #2 thru #5 - Combined to create mass storage

Yes I know it's missing a power supply, thats why the led is flashing orange.

I Plan on installing a couple more SATA Raid PCI cards and loading them with 1Tb drives. I will have to engineer some drive cages for them.
