Server Upgrade

Today the server got an upgrade: 1.5 TB of additional storage. Installing was a breeze, Windows Home Server takes care of the formatting and adding it to the storage pool.
I chose another Samsung Spinpoint, because I like how silent these are. Soon I'll remove the 160GB Maxtor hard drive from the server, because I don't need a third disk and I want to minimize power usage.

The server setup is now:
  • CPU: Intel Celeron 440 2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB
  • Mobo: Gigabyte EP35-DS3, Intel P35 Chipset, ATX
  • Memory: 1x Kingston Dimm 1GB DDR2 PC2-6400
  • Video: none
  • Sound: MoBo intgrated
  • CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX 2
  • HD 1: Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB, SATA, 3.0Gbps
  • HD 2: Samsung Spinpoint F2EG 1.5TB, SATA, 3.0Gbps
  • HD 3: Maxtor 160GB harddisk, PATA
  • Case: Cooler Master Centurion 5
  • Power: Medion Power Supply 250W
  • OS: Windows Home Server UK
  • TV card 1: Hauppauge PVR350
  • TV card 2: Hauppauge PVR150
