Posted May 17, 200816 yr FPCH Admin Let everyone know what kind of server hardware you installed Windows Server 2008 to. It will help us put a list together of hardware that is compatible. If you have any problems with certain hardware add a note about the conflicts. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
June 18, 200816 yr Terminal Servers- Dell 1950- 2 Dual Core Xeon 2.0/4GB RAM/W2K8 ENT X64 Storage/License Server- Dell 2900- 1 Dual Core Xeon 3.0/6GB RAM/W2K8 STD x64
June 19, 200816 yr Server Specs For Now, Running a VMWare on a Dell Optiplex 280G Workstation. As per the VM im running 1.25GB ram. 65GB Virtual HDD. I am an IT Intern for a medium sized company and they were looking for a fresher global colabartion approach. So being the young whipper snapper that I am, I have decided to depoly a test box, and run MOSS (share point server). So far things are looking good.
February 9, 200915 yr I have an Intel MFSYS25 Modular Server and at the moment each module is running Windows Web Server 2008. I intend to use this for web and email hosting (to upgrade our existing equipment). I may have to replace Web Server 2008 if it doesn't do everything I need, such as clustering etc. Each server has dual 3GHz Xeon processors and 4GB RAM. I only have 7x68GB SAS drives at the moment but intend to expand this at a later date. So far it all seems perfectly compatible and works like a dream. I've had no errors, crashes or BSODs etc so far :)
April 8, 200915 yr no web editions do clustering. Why would you need clustering on a web server? The web edition does NLB, thats what you need. Your backend database server is the one that may need clustering.
October 28, 200915 yr Dell Power Edge Server. Windows Server 2008 32bit. Intel Xeon E5410 @ 2.33 GHZ. 4 meg of ram
January 20, 201014 yr 2 Dell Poweredge T710's dual 2.6ghz, 12gb ram, both running Server 2008 standard 64 bit.
May 18, 201014 yr Homebrew! :whistling: Tyan Tomcat 1000h Dual Opteron 2376HE @ 2.29 Ghz 20 GB DDR2 RAM 1 x 2,7 TB Raid array (4 Seagate, Sata2 7200rpm) The server is currently only a Fileserver, but experimenting... :nuke: Server 2008 R2 Standard x64. (Then I got a Promise Smartstor with 2,7 TB raid backup drives.)
July 19, 201014 yr At Arvixe Webhosting, we utilize: Windows 08 R2 x64/CentOS 5.5 x64 Dual Quad Core Xeon E5520 24GB Ram 2TB Usable Storage, 4 Physical, RAID5 Hundreds of servers with this configuration, and its been going us well so far.

January 30, 201113 yr Mhn...I have a test/autobuild box with a personal blog and an email server on it : Atom D510 Dual Core (with HT 4 threads) 1.66 Ghz 4 GB Ram DDR2 2x500GB HD (Configured as RAID 1) 10 Mbit Unmetered bandwidth Windows Web Server 2008 R2
June 9, 201113 yr Author FPCH Admin I got a mix of 4u custom built boxes and a few mini servers using hacked up Shuttle XPC's. The one that runs this site is an oldie but goodie. It has 4 first gen Xeon 1GHz slot 1 processors with 32 gigs of ram in a 4u case on an Intel motherboard. It has an Adaptec scsi controller, running 12 32gig IBM drives. 4 internal and 8 in an external enclosure. It was the first server I put online 12 years ago and it's been up with the exception of OS reloads for the whole time. It's a workhorse and at the time cost over $10K to build. I would put it's performance up against any of the top of line servers of today. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
July 7, 201113 yr Just finished my second Official server build. First time for one using Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Enterprise. Custom built for the company I work for. Probably a little different from what most people run as I built this using a Full Gaming Tower. Enjoy having it this way rather than rack mount. Hardware Specs: Thermaltake Level 10 Super GT modular tower (5x5.25" drive bays, 5 Hot swap bays 2.5"-3.5" drive accessible ) 5x Hitachi Coolspin 5400 rpm 32mb buffer 3tb Internal drives (soon to expand into 5 more of the same Drives) Asus M5A88-V evo Motherboard AMD Phenom II x4 980 Black edition (Quad Core)3.7 GHz 16GB Patriot DDR3 1600MHZ Ram Ran Bios unlocked all 4 cores. Default clock speed
July 7, 201113 yr What? 5400RPM hard drives?!?! I hope there's not exchange or SQL on that server! -------------------------------------------------------- Tu peux aussi crire en franais. Du kannst auch auf Deutsch schreiben. Puoi scrivere anche in italiano. --------------------------------------------------------
July 7, 201113 yr Negative no exchange or SQL. I wanted faster HDD but boss wanted budget friendly with most amount of storage space, and 3tb for $117.00 caught his attention quickly. Servers only used for FTP transfers and storage database
July 7, 201113 yr Ftp and storage with 16gb of ram... Ehehe quite good for a storage server :P -------------------------------------------------------- Tu peux aussi crire en franais.

January 18, 201212 yr Custom build running XenServer for virtualization: Intel Xeon Westmere 2.4ghz Quad Core CPU Asus Z8NA-D6 Mobo 12GB Patriot DDR3-1333 Registered Memory Areca 1210 PCIe-8x RAID Controller with 256MB cache 4x Western Digital 1TB 7200rpm 3.0GBs Enterprise HDDs in a RAID 10 480 watt PSU 4U Rack Case
