New home server
So, I’ve been wanting to build a new home server for quite a while. Today I started planning it out, might be a while until I can build it but I can dream. My parts list is as follows.
- Swiftech 8 Way PWM Splitter
- Norco 120MM Fan Wall
- SUPERMICRO MBD-H8DG6-F-O E-ATX Form Server Motherboard
- Intel RES2SV240NC RAID Expander Card
- AMD Opteron 6320 Server Processor x2
- Norco RPC-4224 Case
- Corsair HXi 850 Watt PSU
- Intel i350-T4 NIC
- Kingston 16GB (4 x 4GB) Kit x2
- NORCO C-SFF8087-D SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 Internal Multilane SAS Cable x 7
- Noctua NH-U9DO CPU Cooler x2
- Noctua NF-A8 PWM 80mm Case Fan x2
- Noctua NF-S12A PWM 120mm Case Fan x3
- BitFenix BFA-MSC-M3MKK-RP 17.72″ (45cm) Molex to 3 Molex Extension Cable M-F x4

IPv6
Well, I again have a dual stack network at home. IPv4 from Charter and IPv6 through a Hurricane Electric tunnel. I do have to say it was not as easy to setup on my EdgeRouter X as it was in pfSense but I figured it out. I will be writing a tutorial on how I did it in a little while since I figure other people might like to know 😀
