Server upgrades

The server has had a few hardware upgrades to add cooling, sound levels and storage. I have added a Lite-on DVD-RW as I burn large amounts of data from the server that won’t fit on a DVD. I’ve put an 80mm fan on the back to take out the hot air from the case and changed the 200W Seagate PSU for a 350W Lite-on to decrease the sound levels. At the moment there is a ATI 9550 256MB graphics card installed in the server that I’m using to set up the DVD-RW but I may leave it in there as it may come in handy, but normally there wouldn’t be a graphics card due to heat and because I never use them.

There are some planned upgrades for the future which include a SATAII PCI controller and some SATAII hard drives to boost the storage space. Another upgrade would be from 100Mb/s to 1000Mb/s network card that greatly boost the speed of the network when I backup my computers.
