- Here is the assembled computer complete with disks. I'm still not sure the VT6421 card is reliable, one of the SATA connectors seems worn and unable to make good contact. I may replace it with a different card because I do not want problems.
@uxwbill I have a little 9-inch monochrome SVGA monitor which is great for uses like this. It will display resolutions up to 1024x768, but only at low refresh rates.
I seen that old packard bell and it brought back a lot of memories back before I became disabled working for NCR it changed to ATT GIS for a while and they took on the contract for all the Packard Bell and ATT computers and laptops sold by sears in the late 80s I was the expert only MCSE A+ trained guy in the region so I got all the computer calls along with my POS and ATM calls traveled to people houses fixing them . I still have a few motherboards and a ton of old good SIMM 256 1mb memory
Does this computer happen to use RDRAM? seeing that it's based on a GX400 it probably does.
The Dimension 8100 uses RDRAM
Spin rite...have to remember that...
Looks like all is well....so far....
Interesting wireless router, don't think Ive ever had one that overheats.
i havend backed up any of my videos. simply because i dont have a computer with a big enough hard drive to store them all.
spinrite is great , steve gibson rocks!
for those who had never heard of spinrite. should check out the twit network podcasts. and that extra dell button is recovery software from dell...
@Majorzzero I guess they withdrew from the US market in the late 90's once NEC took them over, but they're still sold in several other countries.
Wow, I haven't seen a Packard Bell anything in about 10 years.
I ran this procedure running Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS on a HP ProLiant N36L MicroServer using a SATA-to-CF adapter card where the operating system is located on the CF card. Didn't come across any problems so far!
awesome video

hi uxwbill
i am just wondering why you chose 2 different drives for raid would it not be better to have 2 of the same drives?
Hows the new palace going... Did I mis any video's?
Dont you think that the cost of running this 24/7 would cost more then just having a bunch of disks attached to a Router with a USB port with a USB hub attached? Or does it not really take much?
get those sticky heat strips to dissipate the heat for your router
Hi Will, Could You Please Make A Tour of Your Server Room?
I don't get it: Why have you chosen to install two different drive makes and models with different RPM for a RAID1 configuration? I would have chosen twins!
I chose what I could get at the time! It didn't matter, the configuration was perfectly reliable and ran that way for a couple of years.
Wow! Now that surprises me alot! I'd expect the working speed of the RAID to be negatively hampered by the asynchronous spindle speeds and sector sizes ( Traditional and AF pinned against each other ) .
The fairly big closet
damn Segate drives.. I hope it doesn't die on ya too soon.. every one I've seen has.. also.. I meant to tell ya.. NewEgg had Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD's on sale for $55 not that long ago...
@McGorillaProduction Congrats. Have a cookie.
sixth, great as usual KEYKEEPER"S BROTHER, HAHA JK GrEAT
Do you still use this machine for storage?
+RogerRHF Not at present. It's still on my server desk. I wanted to get some much bigger hard drives for it before putting it into production use, but the funds for that never materialized.
+uxwbill How much storage were you going to upgrade to?
+RogerRHF At the time, 4TB was the largest I could have gotten in a hard drive. It was quite expensive, at least several hundred dollars per drive.
+uxwbill Did you ever switch out the SATA card? If I remember correctly, it was giving you problems with the Advanced Format drives.
+RogerRHF Yes. It's got a Promise Fasttrak TX4310 in it now that works flawlessly, even with advanced format drives.
@walkingfreak I can tell you watch 1pug's videos
haha, im the 3000nd viewer :D great video :)
first
I got the computer from a family member for dirt cheap so everything is kosher. As far as reinstalling the operating system, I assume you mean reformatting? That's waaaaaay beyond me. Might leave that up to the geek squad at best buy :) Thanks for your reply.
Hi Bill,
I have a 10 year old Dell Dimension PC 4300. Whenever I try to access craigslist, this content advisor keeps coming up asking me a for a supervisors' password. If I go to control panel to turn it off, it still asks me for a supervisors' password. Is there anyway around this? Thanks in advance
