My bro has just given me this unit, a Dell precision 690, server, serv tag HYVBX2J, Only Got 4GB ram so got to have a look for some more, think i've got some in a draw.
I want to use it as a server for plex, sick beard sabnzb etc, Think its running xp ATM, will windows 7 be an advantage on it ?
got twin network ports how does this work too ?
Also has 4 80gb drives I assume they will be set up as raid, whats the deal with that all a bit new on raid.
Not powered it up yet as its got a twin dvi card and i've not got a spare dvi cable atm.
I assume looking at the four big fans its going to be noisy, Its going to be living in the attic so no real issue.
So what to do ? any answers/input greatly appreciated
Ted
