Rig of the Week: We're late again
Yes, Rig of the Week is late again. You still love us, right?
This week's entry is a sweet home/office server. A Mac mini, two 500GB external drives (one for backup, one for media), two 250GB FW drives (set up as a RAID), a D-Link Wireless G Gaming Router with Gigabit Ethernet and a D-Link Gigabit Switch look very nice on top shelf of fabrico's closet. He notes that this closet - and, in fact, his whole apartment - was already wired before he moved in. Lucky guy.

You didn't link the photo to the flickr page, sadly. :(
Sweet setup though... Where's the rest of his machines?

Those Macally hard drive cases are the bestest.

I've had nothing but trouble with those Macally enclosures. The first one I had destroyed the partition on 3 different hard drives. They sent me a replacement and this one is acting wonky too. So I dunno what the deal is.

Wish my mac mini setup looked this neat. Mine is so crazily cobbled together that the whole thing crashes if you just so much as look at it funny. I suppose having an apartment pre-wired for broadband helps (wish mine were).

The cases below the Mini look like NewerTech MiniStacks, either v1 or 2. I have a v2, and it's cool, and not too loud :) Too bad my Mini is only a G4. No point in getting it a GigE switch :(

Daryn, this is my setup featured here and there is no monitor hooked up; I administer the server as needed via Remote Desktop from my MacBook Pro (which is my primary machine).
