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 Overland Neo 2000 Tape Library.

This this is god like; it holds 25x 300/600Gb SDLT-2 Tapes, it has 2 tape drives, and a fiber channel add on interface (also can use scsi). It is the perfect backup solution for any enterprise that requires on hand backup as well as off site backup (it includes a mail slot for easily removable storage). The whole thing is managed by an LCD touch screen. Its 5ru, and cost over $13,000 new. Comes with 1 cleaning tape.

Reserve: $500

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...

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
