Build a white box or buy a used server

Hello

I'm debating whether to build a new box for a test lab/home server or buy a used Dell server. I intend to have about 5 VM running, Win2012 server, MacOS and Win Media Server.

How the following two options happen, flow and performance wise?

WhiteBox

  • ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3 + 990FX SATA 6 Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD card mother AMD with UEFI BIOS
  • Kingston HyperX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 240 - Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Fund blue XMP HyperX memory
  • Kingston DataTraveler Micro 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive model DTMCK / 8GB (install ESXi 5.1)
  • AMD Phenom II X 4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core processor
  • Sony Optiarc 24 X DVD Burner, large package black SATA model AD - 7280S - 0b - OEM
  • Cards NETWORK Intel PRO Gigabit 0G174P double Port PCI-Express
  • RAID and SATA drives will be added later
  • ~ $600

Dell Server

  • Dell PowerEdge T110 Server
  • Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.4gig processor X 3430
  • 10 GB of Ram
  • Three hard drives of 500 GB SATA
  • ~ $500


Thank you.

Spec wise the white box is more beautiful.

also carry a home server is not fun. fort.

but

for a quick installation without frills/great support with the pilots and the experience of others, the dell is better.

  • If I can reinstall XP pro on a 'white box' PC using a disk with a Dell or HP? I have my product key. If I can't, then what?

    My 'white box' PC is all buggy after a lot of use, and I want to start with a reinstall.  I have my product key XP Pro but no media.  Can I use a disc that came with a Dell, HP or other PC manufacturer?  The steps, what are my options.

    Thanks for responding.

    No, you cannot use your support Dell/HP OEM to install XP on a generic computer built. Installation media more computers brand is locked in BIOS for motherboard of that OEM (Dells are). In addition, most HPs have just a recovery disc and not a real disk operating system. As for using the product key you have, it's from the CD that you used initially install XP on the generic construction machine? If so, will need you a corresponding version installation CD; namely the retail Home/Pro/MCE or generic OEM Home/Pro/MCE.

  • Why a big white box appears on my desktop, using Windows 7, after going on the Internet?

    I have a brand new PC running Windows 7.  After that all three times I use the Internet, I get a big white box on my desk that simply will not disappear (the white box is visible once IE is closed).  After the computer restarts, it disappears but it always comes back.  One small thing that works is by clicking at the bottom right of the screen.  There's a small rectangle down there, and when I click it, the white box disappears.  If I click on the rectangle, again, white box comes back.  It is not prevent all functions, but its really annoying, especially on a brand new computer. Any info would be great!

    Hi dmbfan,

    From what I understand I think it's a page of Internet Explorer (IE) that does not close properly. I suggest you run Internet Explorer mode without modules and see if the problem repeats.

    Follow the steps to do the same;

    Step 1: Run Internet Explorer in "no Add-ons" mode

    Add-on Internet Explorer, such as ActiveX controls and browser toolbars, are used by some Web sites to provide a better browsing experience. An error may occur if an add-on is damaged or if an add-on conflicts with Internet Explorer. To determine if the error is caused by an add-on, run Internet Explorer in "no Add-ons" mode To do this, follow these steps:

    1) click Start and type Internet Explorer in the box to start the search.
    2) click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). Internet Explorer opens without Add-ons, toolbars, or plug-ins.
    (3) test Internet Explorer to verify that it works correctly.

    If the problem does not persist in no add-on mode so you can follow the steps below to use the Manage Add-ons to determine which add-on is causing the problem

    Step 2: Use the tool of management of Add-ons in Internet Explorer to individually disable each add-on to determine which add-on is causing errors. To do this, follow these steps:

    Internet explore 8

    1. open Internet Explorer 8.
    2. click on tools and then click on Manage Add-ons.
    3. in the drop-down view menu, select all add-ons to display all the modules that are installed on the computer.
    4. for each element in this list, select the add-on, and then click Disable in the information window.
    5. When you have disabled all the items in this list, click OK.
    6. exit and then restart Internet Explorer.
    7. If the problems do not recur, repeat steps 1 to 3.
    8. click on activate for a simple add-on.
    9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until you determine which add-on causes errors occur.

    After you have used this process to determine which add-on causes errors, you can disable this add-on. Or, you can uninstall the software that installs the add-on. We also recommend that you contact the software vendor that provided the add-on for additional troubleshooting and support.

    For more information on the above steps, you can access the link below.

  • T-Shirt Designing (1): how to make wider white box (using the model of t-shirt)?

    CS6 using

    T-Shirt Designing (1): how to make the white box more wide inside the shirt (using the model of t-shirt)?

    Well, I learned that I can go to file > new from the template > blank template > T-shirt to start to create a design for my t-shirt.

    It shows a small picture of the t-shirt with a rectangle in the middle that also represents the large rectangle (where I create my design).

    Question, am I suppose to create the right design in the large rectangle?

    2nd... I figured out how to adjust the length and width of the largest rectangle (through the corners, then clicking on it to open the section length/width at the top of the screen). However, when I adjust the height and width, is not the same for the rectangle inside the shirt.

    What I'm trying to do, is ensure that my design takes more than forward of the sweater by expanding the width.

    How to make the small rectangle in the large t-shirt too?

    Hello

    The small rectangle in the t-shirt line drawing is a guide. So, what you need to do is unlock guides, remove the small rectangle and create a new.

    (1) go to the view > Guides > release Guides. You will now be able to edit the guides, which are light blue in my document.

    (2) just so that you know what I'm talking specifically, open the Layers panel and place you on the Guides layer. Click the arrow next to reveal the guides within the layer. I locked all the other layers in the document to make it easy for me.

    (3) select the small rectangle, and delete.

    (4) use the Rectangle tool to draw a new in size.

    5) option click on the new rectangle to open a launcher. Select make Guides.

    You now have a guide again, larger rectangle! Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Why make a white box instead of a log in box and others...?

    When I try to click on some sites that have something pop up to log and so on, instead it shows a white box.

    For example, I tried to log on kinklive. Here's how it is on Firefox before and after I click on "log in".

    http://imgur.com/a/4CGzV

    And it's here on Google Chrome after I click on "log in".

    http://imgur.com/wc3rayZ

    So why do the white box on Firefox?

    Hello

    You use a nightly build of Firefox which is intended only for testing. However, I recommend that you download the latest version of Firefox, or try reinstalling your nightly build.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • FLV appearing as white box?

    I am downloading 2 files flv to our Web site. Both flv files have been published with Media Encoder to be converted to flv. This isn't the first time I downloaded flv files on our site. We add our tv spots through flv, on average, every 2 months or more. The procedure is always the same and I have nothing different with these new flv files. However, this time the flv files are appearing as a white box on our site instead of loading the flv players as usual. The 'live view' in Dreamweaver displays the videos properly... loads of player flv and I can watch television commercials.

    I took the two ads out of the page and added an old tv commercial, just to see if it would work, and it has worked flawlessly. But when I put 2 new tv ads, get the white box again. I revisited Media Encoder and redited ads in tv, added land to Dreamweaver and reuploaded ads, but I don't always have the same white box. I compared the old and new TV advertising code, and the code is exactly the same (except for the file name, of course). I checked to see if the new tv commercials were made differently from our "old", and they were not. Swfobject, expressinstall scripts are already uploaded to our site since we use different flash on the site files (don't know if it's even important!). And whenever I download, the download skin and progressive player as well.

    I am at a loss! Nothing should change with our hosting company. I took an old, working tv spot on our Web site to present the new. I have no idea where to go from here. The specific page on our site is www.ourphf.com/currentad.html. I tried to download new videos in all sizes from different institutions, thinking maybe it was a question of size. Help, please!

    Your video will not appear upward because your SWF file is empty

    What is the real name of your FLV file?

    If this isn't the case, you must rename your file without any special characters.
