I've ordered a D510MO to play with - just couldn't resist :)

I expect mine on Thursday according to the tracking info. I'm looking forward to getting everything up and running sometime that evening; shouldn't take long.

Heh, I was thinking of ordering one myself. I bought one of each of the previous embedded Intel mini-ITX boards (well except the new 270 based D945GSEJT, http://www.mini-box.com/Intel-D945GSEJT ... otherboard ).

For now I have more junk than I need and more projects than time, so I'm holding off. Maybe I'll make it a reward for selling enough stuff on ebay and craigslist to pay for one.

Hmm, since I don't know you I almost think you are an alias for my wife by the way you speak of "more junk than I need and more projects than time" :)

Same here, but I'm keeping the clutter down by just swapping the D945GCLF for the D510MO. As long as it works, I'll pass the D945GCLF board and RAM on to someone else.

Thanks for sharing all that Neko! I love that fact that you moved to an Atom cpu, be sure to post your thoughts on the D510MO if you have the time. You've inspired me to take a closer look at this, as my own AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ based home server is not getting any younger and I'd love to drop down to the 20-30watt range.

In case we all don't tell you enough you ROCK! Thanks for all the years of hosting Nekochan.

-Mike
Thanks! I'll post a separate topic on the D510MO once I get it running. I'll try and remember to take some photos while I'm at it.

That XP 2400+ is definitely a good target for replacement with something like this - you'll save on electricity, keep the temps down in the room and gain the ability to run a 64-bit OS.

Okay, I've split the D510MO discussion off from the previous thread instead of starting a new topic.

My D510MO board arrived on Thursday and I was able to get it up and running that evening.

The swap out was fairly painless, though I did run into a problem with my existing Micro-ATX power supply only supporting 20-pins rather than the 24-pins required for the D510MO. A quick dash to the local Fry's Electronics remedied that particular issue. On the software side, I had to edit the root mount in /etc/fstab (edit: not necessary if using UFS device labels) and adjust the system clock (was approximately 24-hours ahead out of the box). FreeBSD had no issues with the hardware and continues to work just fine with the generic amd64 kernel.

Here's the FreeBSD 'dmesg' output from the D510MO:

Nicely done - thanks for the upgrade to nekochan.net!

BTW - I like the layout of the case you used. Can I ask who makes it?

Talking of saving money on electricity bills, I just rebuilt my home server from dual AMD Athlon MP 2800+'s that I've had for years, to a single high-efficiency Athlon X3 400e (unlocked from 3 to 4-cores; detects and works correctly as an X4 6400e). The MP's are 65w TDP each , and the X3 is 45w TDP, total . I also swapped from 8 x 7200rpm 500GB and 4 x 7200rpm 320GB SATA drives to 5 new Samsung Eco 1.5TB drives.

I run the server from a 700VA APC ups... previously it ran from two 650w power supplies (one for the board and 4x320GB drives, the other for the 8x500GB drives) it would light up all 5 of it's power-useage-level led's on boot-up of the server, and settle at 3-4 led's during running. The same ups now momentarily flashes a single led on power up, and shows no led's during normal running! I'm amazed at the power requirements of the new setup and how much cooler the whole thing runs (I've been able to turn off the majority of cooling fans and run the rest of them at 5-7v, instead of 12v).

Very nice! Hopefully it wasn't raining too hard when you were getting the 24pin converter.

My random comments:
I can't quite see from the pic but the HDdrive [750GB] is under the DVD, I assume the case has just one drive bracket.

Also the only fan is in the power supply as far as I can tell, what do you think of the stock power supply from that APEX MI-100 case? I like the size and layout, I suppose I could go without the DVD drive to get RAID-1 mirrors internally on the 2 SATA channels.

Man I love the fanless CPU idea... So very very tempting.

-Mike
About your ATX24 plug, i know it's too late now, but are you sure the board really needs it's 24-pins? Most simple boards with ATX24 connectors will work with only the first 20 pins populated. It's simply done like that to adapt to new power supplies... I see a lot of Seanix computers with MSI boards inside that are built like that.

Edit: And Intel boards also.

Edit2: BTW really nice setup. I didn't check but is it still a Realtek LAN card on-board? I had to drop a Intel PRO1000/MT in mine for network stability

It was coming down pretty good a the time :) Fortunately I didn't encounter any accidents during the trip.

It has two; there's also a side-mounted 3.5" bracket. You can see the screw holes for it on the top pic on the side closest to the camera and in the second pic, on the left. If you were to forgo the DVD you could easily mount 3 hard drives in the case, though the D510MO only has two SATA ports on board. I suppose you could find something to fit in the PCI slot to make up for that.

This is the same case my parents were using for the original Atom Hackintosh; the original power supply blew up on me after 48 hours or so. I wound up replacing it with a locally sourced supply out of Bend, Oregon which was kind of an adventure in itself. Reading through recent comments on NewEgg it doesn't look like power supply problems are too common though.

It has Realtek gigabit on board. I hadn't encountered any stability issues with the 100mbit Realtek on the previous board, and I have the same gigabit chipset rev as this on my i7 daily driver.

Sounds like a fantastic setup!

It sure is nice that all this new hardware is available with decent performance that doesn't nuke the UPS, superheat the room, assail with noise and swamp the power bill. It will be interesting to see the bill in February; I'm expecting the system will pay for itself quite rapidly.

It sure is nice that all this new hardware is available with decent performance that doesn't nuke the UPS, superheat the room, assail with noise and swamp the power bill. It will be interesting to see the bill in February; I'm expecting the system will pay for itself quite rapidly.

It is neat, but it also makes me a little uncomfortable. For years we've been assaulted with the megaherz mania : if your computer had a lowly 2 ghz cpu you might as well go live under the bridge. SGI failed in part because their cpu's couldn't keep up.

Now we're all excited about running servers on an Atom ? I agree, it is cool, but why did SGI have to go tits-up then ?
makes me think I should replace my 3 2x1.4 P3 rackmounts with some atom boards haha
