DATA CENTRE 101 | HYPERVISOR BUILD | EP 1 | CHOOSING YOUR HARDWARE

Dont bother with old dell/rack kit, your power costs will go up ALOT.

A single dot of paste is quite okay!
Enjoy!

great video. but can you build video without the background noise.

heart rate goes up even watching you put the cpu in

i must say im like 70% sure this channel had something to do with my interest in servers.... I just started running my own home NAS off old Dell r410 and just upgraded it

Hi guys, I am watching your videos from other side of the world (Croatia/Eu) and I must say that I learned a lot. This kind of videos are a few levels higher than everybody's in the industry. The tips, procedures, production, everything; bottomline: useful and cool behind the curtain view. Keep on going - it is way to go. This got to be one of the mains channel of bringing new customers passively cause it's "real stuff" and looks well intentional, honest - not some marketing hype. People want to make business with you from all around the world. :)

Why does the guy on the right seem so impatient.. tapping his fingers all the time.

No earth strap?

dont drop the cpu into the socket... "me remembering how i dropped one in a dell r740"

Me focusing on the alarms in the background.

so James is a Dell guy and Ash is an HP guy?

not wearing a ground strap.... :)

Great jobs guys...... Inspired alot by there hardworks

Why would you EVER spread the thermal paste? That's what the HEATSINK IS FOR!!! "My thinking" think harder! Now your paste has air bubbles in...

Hypervisor ..gr8 😱

proxmox 4 ever

The nondescript partridge plausibly help because vulture optimally earn times a efficient sponge. aromatic, questionable dad

What do you mean by the r620 being a one use server? Do you have to dispose of it after one use?

These guys are awesome. Greetings from Chicago!

Good content I like it hehe

i thought they'll say
"hello i'm gav,
i'm dan"

Where is plastic gloves?

We use the same spread method it always has better thermal properties.

That was hilarious when you spread out the paste (which I agree btw) and Raf is just like “I do dot, it just works” LOL

great job ,n i loved the bacgraound music.

A homelab with only 1 server... Yeah... Right.

oh god, a PowerEdge 2950, that's ancient...

Got to 2 x R520’s 1 x R420, and 1 x T620

Dell Poweredge 2950's are cheap, but after running it 24/7 the electric bill is not.

I have a new favorite Channel. Thanks guys.

Awesome thank you so much. Been looking for something exactly like this for ages!

Nice video but next time i would use a office to talk and install hardware there is so much noise.

Raf finger taping while Ash explains. Somebody is eager to get started.

Perhaps run a compressor on the audio to mitigate the bg noise

When u spread thermal paste, air gets in and it causes higher temps. The pressure of the heatsink will naturally spread a blob of thermal paste without introducing air in.

wears earplugs, we wear headphones, we are going deaf xD great videos I love it.

Just one big dot of thermal paste is better is the heatsink will adjust. The first CPU installed will have worst thermal exchange.

Great that you keep ESD in mind, not.. oh boy!! The way he's placing the RAM dimms 0_0 Never touch the actual memory chips, some static electricity will generate some errors over time and kill your dimms eventually

Great content... Very Informative... Especially for companies who are looking for freshers with 10 years of experience.

hi from brazil. Thank you for content!

Great stuff, guys. Keep up the awesome content.

those 2950s use a lot of ram

Hey Guys, love the videos and the inside of you’re particular datacenter.
But please dump the yellow ear protectors and just but in-ear fitted hearing protection. These are better for you’re ears and the environment.

great video good job

Nice video! Just put my home HP DL380 G7 into "production" this weekend running ESXi. Only running pfSense vm and Debian vm (with some ZFS storage) for now. Planning to do more.

Amazing channel. Be nice if you recorded n a quieter environment when like n the video it's not necessary to have the noise

I am curios, which hyper visor you will be using? I still use a few r710 and r720 at home, mostly for cheap ram and storage. I have 200 plus gigs of ram with around 70t hd. They are great for testing and handling movie storage for the house. That being said, I switched to xcp-ng a year ago due to not being able to use the latest esxi because of the cpu nag from VMware.

Dell is the latest shit. HP Proliant G8 and above is top!

i want a suggestion for my career, i passed Comptia Network+ and Also Pursuing For Linux Engineer & (RHCE and AWS), What Should I Try Next. ?
