Here's a great question. What's so special about the Signature Edition? Is it Bill Gates signature like with Vista? Are there special features? Can I sell it for mega bucks in the distant future?

Hello Joan.


Yes, someone has to feed me!

Today I finished up my low power Windows Home Server. Intel Atom 330/ION platform with 4GB RAM and 2TB of green storage. The ION is overkill because its graphics capabilities aren't necessary and it goes against the low power concept.... but it can be booted in headless mode. I loaded up Windows 7 x64 RTM for a shakedown run and it purrs like a (silent) kitten. The Atom 330 runs x64 fine, so it will be able to handle the next edition of Windows Home Server, codename Vail.
I'll probably migrate to the new one next week and retire the ol' Dell Dimension 8100.

The size is deceiving. It's about the size of an Xbox 360; not as tall but a little thicker.

Thanks. Good idea. I'll take a shot with the sides on and post over there.

jfar, my main rig is such a jumble of wires and crap I'm embarrassed to show it. Maybe this is the inspiration I need to neaten things up a bit....

...nothing at all to be ashamed of - i would love one in my bedroom or kitchen...

 

[jfar]

Very good Thanks.

I think for the bedroom or kitchen, you'd want one even smaller. Maybe something with the same Zotac ION board, but with an onboard DC-DC power supply so you can use a tiny miniITX case without a power supply.
Maybe something like this:




Just finishing up on this one, too. It streams 1080p from my Home Server @ around 13% CPU usage (not overclocked). Now all I need is a 1080p Television.....

Looks good!

Very impressed, is that an antistatic mat under the motherboard in the second picture, and if it is well done, you would be surprised how many people just put their
highly priced boards /cards/ memory straight onto the bed or the carpet,
definitely a no no for me, anyway keep up the good work.

 

[mickey megabyte]

is that an anti-static mat under your motherboard, or are you just pleased to see me?

(sorry, i'm more than a little bit intoxicated...)

That explains a lot.
