Ah well. If you do have cash left over, an SSD is awesome for your OS and key applications if you have $$ left over. I got one for my gaming rig since I didn't have enough for an upgrade and holy moly!

Ye SSD is on the cards, as is a i7 upgrade for the gaming box ;)

cost? More than your server for the space you need unless you want to swap a bunch of tapes every time you backup or restore.

Ye, how much more? :D

Well you could go dual drive LTO3/4 or LTO5.

LTO5 single $1800+ drive $130+ per tape - 3TB

LTO4 single $1200+ drive $45+ per tape - 1.6TB

LTO3 single $1300+ (wierd) drive $30+ per tape - 800GB

Prices from staticice, obviously you'd be looking for second hand drives and tapes. LTO5 is brand new so good luck with that.

1x 18 RU comms cabinet.

This is the perfect cabinet to run your home wiring to. It will fit in a decent sized closet, or can easily be wall mounted in the garage. Currently it holds my adsl modem, ups, patch panel and switch.

Reserve: $150

Instant: $300

Is it on ebay or something?

I cbfd signing up if i dont have too lol... Sounds like a reasonable deal though pending prices of the tape, which seem to be around 100US ea, not a bad deal for 600GB vs 1TB of disk...

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
