Sophos UTM 9 is pretty good. Lots of good features. Free for under 50 IP addresses.

Been looking at those Supermicro 6026TT's. How loud are they? Planning on using one to consolidating two hosts that I have for my esxi home lab. Multi node seems to be an easy way to bring additional hosts online when I need more resources.

So I built my first esxi box with the following: Supermicro X9SCM-F-O E3-1230 LSI 9260-4i connected to Chenbro CK23601 expander Norco 4224 Case 24x1TB HD's 16GB RAM 2x240GB SSD for VM's It's been great, but I feel that I made some mistakes as far as going with the AIO setup. I used...

This looks pretty good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856205007 I'm thinking about picking up two to use for a fw w/ ipsec vpn.

www.lunarpages.com has been rock solid for me for the last 5 or 6 years.

Would you go with RAID5 with a hot spare vs RAID6 with a hot spare if you had an available backup 3 hours away? I recently built my fileserver and currently am building an identical box for a friend who lives a couple hours away. All of our "media" files will be sync'd. I'm trying to decide...

Anyone know where I can purchase a bracket for the ck23601? I've been searching around but can't seem to find one.

How large is the boardroom? How often would anyone present from the lectern? $3k is not realistic. Keep your rooms simple: 1. VGA w/ audio input from the table 2. VGA w/ audio input from the lectern 3. Blu-Ray player 4. Wireless podium mic for the lectern (electro-voice makes a good...

Title pretty much sums it up. Building a new home esxi box and would prefer not to use two dual-port cards.

In theory, my build was going to be very straight forward and consisted of the following: Storage - iSCSI/FC target using Openfiler 2.99 in a Norco 4224 with an LSI 9260-4i and LSI 7204EP fiber channel card. Five Hitachi 3TB and 12 WD 1TB's ESXI-01 host - HP Z600 with two E5540 2.53GHz...

Al in a good days work.

I wish thats the route that I was going. I may just bite the bullet and change my whole setup.
