How would you build a server?

[jasonrudolph]

Well, I think I have it all figured out. But I have one question. Since I will be purchasing a enw machine, it will most likely have 10.3.5 installed on it. Where can I get myslef a copy of 10.3.3 to install on it?

The next version. which will hopefully be out very very soon. will work with 10.3.5.

I think you might have problems if you backwards install onto a new machine....

What kindof configuration are you going to be speccing?

Which scsi case are you getting?

[jasonrudolph]

well, right now, I am just looking at the ones OWC has, but do you have any suggestions?

Also, do you have any idea as to when the 10.3.5-compatible version will be out?

Highend thinks it has the answer.

But they have only answered the question from their own point of view.

There are many variations on this theme

The Mini G5 tower looking racks sound like the Huge systems MediaVault u320R available from hugesystems.com. They are awesome and the single channel version will get you well over 200 mb/s reads. They are reasonable, I got a quote of $2800USD. The downside to them is that in order to get the max performance, you must put them in turbo mode which partitions the drives so only the prime areas of each ATA drive is used. This lowers your capacity.

Still a great product.

Not sure if that is what Hugh bought.
