Oh, holy cow! Going to have to get my server up and running at my new place... Dual LGA1366 Xeons(which Xeons, I'm not sure. Going to have to run CPU-Z on it when the fresh install is done) with 8GB ECC RAM and five 250GB SAS HDDs in RAID5. Was trying to justify in my mind how I'm going to be running it 24/7 for a TS and fileshare server, well, crunching seems to be calling me now.

EDIT: Tell me, crunching folks: which (Windows) OS do you recommend for crunching on a server? It has SBS 2008, but was considering Win 7 Ultimate 64.

Linux is best, but if you need a Windows OS, 8.1 performs slightly better that Win7. Server OS's are a slightly different story, but the newer you have the better off you are. Remember, 2003 = XP, 2008 = Vista, 2008R2 = Win7, 2012 = Win 8, 2012R2 = Win8.1. I would stay away from 2003 and 2008 and go to at least 2008R2 or higher.

Fantastic giveaway, giveaway!

I'm not in for the prize this time, but every spring, I give a complete PC to an auction benefiting a battered woman's shelter.
It's so good to see others engaged in goodness too. I love to see this. All of you people are the best!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS, REMEMBER TO DRIVE SAFELY!

What am I thankful for?
Among other things, I am thankful for the privilege of helping to honor the memory of such an awesome member from this forum. We miss you Dean.....

We will close the drawing at 8pm Eastern this evening and select the winner shortly afterwards.

Jesus Christ. If I had known back when I approached Norton with the small first idea that it would turn into this...
Sorry I haven't put more effort and donations towards all these (there's bloody 5 so far now?!) giveaways. If there is a 6th in future, hit me up for some stuff to throw your way, I got spare parts bleeding out all orafaces, and I'm moving house on the 22nd, so things gotta go! I'm also good for monetary donations if needed for postage stuffs. I feel bad for forgetting and abandoning the thread after the first giveaway, seems there was a fair bit more to happen :laugh:

you guys

EDIT: Also, the good this TPU thread has done puts some charities to shame

I never had a chance to meet Dean, but as far as I read about Dean I have a friend that is a person a bit like him and should have about the same age or close to it :respect:
