Epia

Ok, so I ended up lying in bed for two hours, so I stood back up and searched for some stuff that floated my mind. The end result seems to be the following: VIA EPIA SN10000EG (199,30€) 2x Kingston ValueRAM SO-DIMM 2GB PC2-5300U CL5 (DDR2-667) (each 31,31€) Club 3D GeForce 7300 GT, 256MB DDR2, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe (CGNX-HG736) (55,00€) – still need to find a riser card Transcend SSD/IDE 8GB (169,00€) 2x Samsung SyncMaster 204B, 20.1", 1600x1200, VGA, DVI (LS20BRDBSQ) (each 309,00€) I still need to find a fitting power supply, but I’ll leave that for tomorrow. The above leads me with about 520,00€ for the “PC” and 680€ for the TFT’s (as I don’t have any). And that’ll give me a full silent (as in not a single moving part), quiet workstation for my desk. ...

Well, as for replacing my current fileserver (which I seriously need to consider replacing), I’ll just pick up these things: 3WARE 9550SXU-8LP (that’s 399,00€) plus riser card VIA EPIA EK 8000EG (that’s 201,69€) Kingston ValueRAM DIMM 1 GB DDR-400 (that’s 57,00€) 4x Seagate ST31000340NS (that’s 279,00€ each - making a subtotal of 1.116,00€) So after browsing some more for a replacement for my current fileserver, I’d like to share the latest stages with you people. Thanks to Mike (who mentioned that binutils-2.18* already does the LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,relro" part) I replaced it with "-Wl,-O1". Same old place, there’s fresh stages … (and thanks again to Mike, with working util-linux-2.13-r2). ...
