Hardware arrived

Hardware bought from DELL Outlet:

Server - Dell PowerEdge T605
-------------------------------

Processors: 2x AMD Opteron Quad-Core 2.1GHZ
Memory : 4x 4GB Dual Rank Dimms - 667MHZ
Storage : 4x 146 GB SAS 15K 3.5" HDs with data stripping (RAID0)

Workstation - Dell Precision WorkStation T3400
-------------------------------------------------

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2.2 GHZ
Memory : 4x 1GB Dual Rank Dimms - 667MHZ
Storage : 2x 750GB SATA 7.2K 3.5" HDs with data stripping (RAID0)
Video : nVidia Quadro FX570 256 MB

+ 2 TFTs 22'' Iiyama Pro Lite E2202WS-B1

PROBLEMS:

1. Server is too noisy for home environment (more noisy than my hoover!) - Two powerfull systems fans are running at full speed all the time. I did not find any option in BIOS to regulated their speed. I went to first computer shop and bought two low noice fans and replaced the ones from server. Server is now reasonably quite but I will have to check processors temperature regularly, once I wil start simulations ...

2. One of TFTs has 2 stuck pixels (one red and one blue), another one is perfect - I am too lazy to send it back, I will try to fix later with JScreenFix.
