Here is my Home Server witch I have built from leftovers and cheap components:
- X-Gear Nero kabinett SORT
- EPoX EP-8KDA3J - Socket 754 Motherboard
- AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8GHz Socket 754
- TwinMOS PC3200 DDR-DIMM 1024MB
- XFX GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR, AGP8X
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM
- Samsung SpinPoint P120 SP2504C - harddisk - 250 GB - SATA-300
- Plextor DVD±R/RW brenner 8x/4x IDE
- Sony MPF 920-Z - Floppy
- 3Com 3C2000-T Gigabit Adapter
Here is my installation issues:
- Did not boot from DVD (My daugther had spoiled jelly on DVD)
- No pointer @ first choice. "installation type" (Use Tab & Enter to choose)
- Infoboxes during installation did not allways fit in my screen 1280x1024
- Consistency check on C: on first reboot.
- New hardware Wizard lived its own life and ran on auto...
- No network adapter. (I installed latest driver for onboard LAN and got Bluescreen)
- Installed latest driver for 3Com 3C2000-T Gigabit Adapter. (OK)
After installation i have had no problem whatsoever. Easy configuration.
I have been using Samba on Linux for my fileserver, but MHS sure do the job.
My Read / write speed is close to 300Mb/s both ways witch is a 10% improvement.
Overall I am very satisfied with this product.
