    How much is a lot of internet?

    Thanks for all the good advice. I really don't want to go with a wired solution, because this building is quite old. It has had TV cables added to it, so it's starting to look a bit unkept all ready. Also, any major construction/installation would affect a lot of people, so coordinating it would...

    How much is a lot of internet?

    This is residential only, btw. If someone is running servers in their apartment, I suppose that is business use, but I don't know of any.

    How much is a lot of internet?

    All the sales guy said was 5 MBS, I was wondering if that was some new lingo or something. He said I needed to talk to tech support. I was thinking really solid internet would be a minimum of 600 kBps/bedroom. Forty bedrooms works out to be 24MBps or 192 Mbps. Actual user speeds would be faster...

    How much is a lot of internet?

    Thanks for being a decent person, j-sta. hehe I want my ISP to be on board. Also, since we'll be investing through hardware and sweat, we need to get a better deal than the default "every body has their own connection." I want to do good, too. My elderly neighbors will never get internet...

    How would you route two separate server rooms (switches)?

    l3thal6, how many access computers would be typical for the model depicted in the diagram? You have 12 showing, but do you really need 14 servers?

    How much is a lot of internet?

    Actually, I don't know if people like you guys would want to pay for their own connection. How cheap are you guys? ;-)

    How much is a lot of internet?

    I have an octogenarian down the hall who I can even GIVE a computer too. Quite a few elderly residents who I don't think will use much, but I'm a heavy user and there are lots of 20-somethings. I expect heavy users will still want to pay for their own internet connection, so I think it's safe...

    How much is a lot of internet?

    How much would 5 MBS be for 40 bedrooms? How much would an apartment full of hardocp people use? What would be a lot of internet? I can shoot wireless through lots of brick, right?

    Any issues with Seagate 3TB Drives and OpenIndiana?

    Hard drive prices have RISEN recently, from $40/TB last time I bought some, to at least $70/TB. Over the last couple of weeks, I've watched a Hitachi 4TB drive I've been drooling over go from like 320 to 360. If you can delay hard drive purchases, several news reports have said that the market...

    Any issues with Seagate 3TB Drives and OpenIndiana?

    I don't know much about enterprise or server stuff, but don't you want low-speed hard drives to keep ware-and-tear and power usage down? I mean, why bother using one of those super-safe RAID architectures when you are going to increase failures using fast disks? How much capacity are you using...

    Best SSD Available

    You don't have a smaller SSD drive now? Man, I was SO disappointed when I got my first SSD. I had dreamed of <10 second start ups and instant load times. That doesn't happen. I recommend for virtually any user a 2TB data drive and a 64 GB boot SSD. This combo can be had for $200, and I'm...

    How to TRIM in Windows 7?

    Does windows 7 auto-trim? Since it makes data unrecoverable, I'd think there would be a user-end confirmation. If it does, how often does it do it?
