Dial_tone said:I used to have seven home boxes but I grew tired of the heat and noise since I don't have A/C. Now I have a fanelss NLX form factor Celeron 400 FreeBSD box w/a big disk as file server and dual Xeon 1.8ghz/1.5GB RAM XP box as workstation. I run Freebsd and Ubuntu thru vmware guests on it. I need to get dual 19-20" LCDs so I can always have the vmware guest on it's own screen.
I have a Cobalt Qube2 that I'm trying to get NetBSD on for my fileserver.
Yeah, I need to try and condense all of these machines down into a couple....
I just moved 6 machines out of the office closet and put them in the garage. They were putting out too much heat. The Mrs. was starting to get the beak, so out they went. It's ghetto cooling in the garage - the sides are off the machines and 2xBigAssBoxFans are pointed at the machines. I just finished re-running all the new cat5 lines. I hate doing shit in the attic.
If I had the extra cash I'd just get a mobo that supports SATA drives and use those as the fileserver. Right now it's a mix of IDE and SATA.
