@JaredBusch Yes like that.. Ill take a look. From what I see, its very limited.
@scottalanmiller wow you know your coming that far in advance? Any special projects you will be here for? What island will you be on?
A Small Orange looks pretty good. Decently priced to. Nice that it has unlimited domains, to host multiple sites like I wanted. I wanted cheap, cuz who knows if I'll keep actively working on them. How long have you been using them?
@travisdh1 thanks Travis. Im going to replace it with the 100i v2. Just picked it up from best buy. I rather haver the smaller unit with 2 fans. Tnx info on fan setup. 
will let u know outcome. Hopefully its good.
@scottalanmiller Yours and ASO logo looks so similar.. haha.. Yours a Mango, and theirs an Orange.. haha Both Orange, so I keep clicking on the wrong tab.. haha.

p? Or maybe using HPE drives would make a difference?
Mahalo.. Haven't bought drives yet.. was checking before i do.
Most brand name servers prefer their own brand of drives... because money. I haven't touched an HP server in 15+ years, so no specific help there.
Yea, HP is like that.. I only care on my SAS drives. Even, then it wouldn't be a big issues. Its a home lab server. So nothing critical running..

Watching The Goldebergs while sitting at my desk eating chips, hoping no one bugs me today..lol
One of the best shows. Period.
I just started watching it last week.. On S1E21 now
@romo Thanks.. That helped.. might need help later.. Wanting to move and rename it. I need to wait for some info before figuring the rest out..
I still stay in touch with couple GG.. Some of they where great..
I have a possible new customer, who got hit with the rapid ransomware. He has no backup. Wondering if any one has or knows how to decrypt the files. I am hoping someone came across this. thanks
Hi Guys,
I am going to be moving later this year, and am trying to find 2 - 2U server boxes to ship my 2 HP DL 380 G8 servers from Hawaii to Arkansas. Wondering if any one has spares laying around. I will pay for shipping (FedEx Ground) to get it from you to me. Original HP DL 380 boxes would be best, any boxes that would fit a 2U unit would be great.
Thanks
Will
@black3dynamite I looked at the briefly, I will look more at them if I can't get anything.. depends how much they charge for shipping to me. They have other boxes I would need, so will take a closer look.
@DustinB3403 Yup, I was just going to do $1,000 on insurance.
@travisdh1 I will look at that, as it is in a rack. Altho the shipping rates are deeply discount for the company I currently work for. For the box @black3dynamite mentioned, it would cost me $45 to ship the server. But Freight might come out cheaper than ordering a box and then shipping it in the long run and I would get to keep the rack (as I was initially going to sell it). Do you have any freight company suggestions?
@travisdh1 OK, Thanks.. I will look at them to. Its a shipping auction site thing.. I think thats what the show Shipping Wars used. Not sure. but yea.. I am liking this option.. Thanks so much for suggestion.
@Pete-S - yea those boxes where kinda high in price.. I might be able to get some for free, just gotta wait, but no guarantee, so why I was checking here. To get a box to me, a quick estimate would cost $30-$40 to me, and about $40-60 back to here (via 2nd day, possibly cheaper by ground).. my job has an account and contract with FedEx so shipping out of the state is pretty cheap..
@scottalanmiller, If I can get the box for cheap, then yes it is. I also know the condition and usage of the servers, so kinda wanna keep them.
Was just hoping someone had a box or 2 laying around from new server installs.
@travisdh1 said in 2U Server Shipping Boxes for HP DL380 Servers:
I've got a server box, but it's for a 1u Dell R620
@travisdh1 Rats.. Thanks for for all the info.. I am looking into those options.

@smartkid808 We should get Aventis in here to say hello!
I have reached out to them, and will see what they say. Also reached out to TrippLite

Kevin is pretty nice.. Dealt with him on several occasions, originally not buying anything. Decided to use him since he didn't have a pushy sales man attitude and always understanding of my needs and price constraints..
OK, so this might be a little long and confusing. Please feel free to ask me anything or clarify anything. This is for my cousins gaming machine I built for him, and I am not a gamer, nor do I build machines on a weekly basis. So I am at a loss, and this is out of my area of expertise.
OK, so I built the machine in June 2017. I over clocked it using the BIOS preset gamer over clock setting. It worked fine for about a year, then all of a sudden the computer started shutting down while he was playing games. So I took off the over clock and loaded optimal preset. I reapplied new compound to it this weekend, and reset the over clock back to what it was before and it ran fine for one day, then starts to shut down again, so load optimal.
While OC, during idle the max value was 69c. During load 80-90c. I am not sure what temps where when I first build it.
Back to optimal, defualt bios config, at idle, max is 66c, avg 50-55. Ill try get more temps tomorrow after he plays again, but if i remeber right was 75-80
I am using HWMonitor. Not sure if there is something better to use than can log the temps
So I am wondering is there a hardware issue? Possible water cooler went out (I dont have the usb connected yet, but will once the cable comes in)?
One other issue I had with it was the RAM I got was not on the QVL, and was hoping it would eventually be supported and run at the 3200mhz. Right now on latest bios, its still at 2133. I purchased new RAM to try get something more compatible (thinking I finally got the cooling under control).
Again, sorry, I am a noob at gaming rigs, and havent actually built systems as a living for over 10 years, so sorry if I sound dumb, or confused.

or
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory - White CMR32GX4M4C3200C16W
I had him leave it on so I can remote in and current CPU Idle temp is 43c, with a max of 70c. Machine was not in use during this time. Updates or other background things may have happened.
Looks interesting.. I'll have to look into this more. At least for personal use, and maybe company.
OK, so Corsiar approved the RMA. We will see how long it takes for them to send once they get the once I sent back.
Trying to find ram that is fully compatible with the AMD Ryzen. Also since I lost one set of banks to the cooler, I want to switch it to 2x16gb sticks vs 4x8gb. Hopefully that doesn't effect performance.
so looking at the following, if anyone has better ideas or feedback on which one they think would be best, please let me know..
