Servers are deadly

Tuesday, April 12, 2011 KOALA
So, for the past few days at work, i have dedicated a part of myself to building a server for a client.
The system itself is a modest entry level server, with a few nice components thrown in here and there.
One of which is this Adaptec raid controller card.
From Misc
The ASAR6805 is labed as a "value" series card by adaptec, with a price tag of $632.
Mind you, adaptec raid cards have a entry level price of around $56, while some of the high end ones will hit around 1.5k. So i guess $600 would be counted as relatively good value.
Upon opening the plain brown card board box (not really flashy for an expensive component), I was greeted with this small sheet of paper slipped into the packaging.
From Misc
Oh dear. Im actually considering actually taping this sticker to the main chassis of the server, so that when the client picks it up, he will be fully aware not to leave this giant box running in his bedroom at night, just incase the radiation slowly fries his balls off.

Anyways, thats enough for me today. Will probably do more posts on this server later in the week.
