Plans for otaking 2.0
Hardware
New hardware will utilize most of my old gaming rig.
Pre-existing hardware
Case: Chieftec Dragon miditower with the insides covered with vibration and sound dampening sheets
Case fans: 5x Arctic Cooling 8cm fans running at 7 V (2 front, 2 rear, 1 psu)
CPU fan: Zalman 7000Cu
Motherboard: MSI Neo-FIS2R K8T800
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3000+ (2.0 GHz)
RAM: 2 GB
Graphics card: nVidia Geforce 6600GT (may be replaced by an ATI Rage Pro since any graphics performance is not required)
Planned purchases
2x 160-320 GB SATA HDDs; For use as system disks in a RAID 1 array.
Fan controller for 3.5" drive bay to replace current 5.25" fan controller.
Drive bay, 4 in 3 (four 3.5" internal bays in three 5.25" external slots, maybe the Cooler Master 4 in 3 module at komplett.se). Hopefully this drive bay doesn't carry the vibrations too much to the chassi. I've grown to enjoy the silence achieved by not having hard drives directly in contact with the steel. Those vibrations can be really annoying.
Software
Host OS: CentOS 5 (based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
VMware Server for Linux
Concept
Minimal host OS running multiple guest OSes with VMware Server.
Virtual Machines
| Description | Guest OS | Service(s) | Resources | Main storage | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VM 1 | Firewall/
port forward | FreeBSD | (?) | ~64-192 MB RAM | Configuration saved within VMfs | |
| VM 2 | DB server | FreeBSD | MySQL 5.x | ~192-256 MB RAM | DB saved within VMfs | Current database size ~100 MB |
| VM 3 | NAS | FreeBSD | FreeNAS(?) | ~128 MB RAM(?) | Files saved within VMfs(?) | |
| VM 4 | HTTP server | FreeBSD | Apache 2.x | ~256 MB RAM | Files accessed via NAS(?) | |
| VM 5 | Mail server | FreeBSD | Courier-IMAP and Postfix
with SpamAssassin | ~128-256 MB RAM | Mailboxes accessed via NAS or local(?) | |
| VM 6 | FTP server | FreeBSD | PureFTPd(?) | ~128-256 MB RAM | Files accessed via NAS(?) | |
| Summary | ~896-1344 MB RAM
/ 2048 MB |
More services
Some form of user database connection with mail, FTP and NAS. Candidates: LDAP?
