Malkie, you dont happen to like douglas adams books by any chance?

[madkez]

high electricity bills people?

[schmunk]

Gawds - looking at this now nigh-on two year old thread, I realise that my PC has similar specs to those mentioned in the original few posts...

[gobbo]

Current student house (Not all of the PCs are mine!):

8mb Bulldog ADSL
24 Port 10/100Mb Managed Switch

Pingu (Windows 2k3 Server, DHCP, DNS, AD)
Asterisk (VoIP server CentOS)
MediaPC (XP Pro + MediaPortal PC in Front Room)

iBook G4
PowerMac G3
Windows XP Pro/Gentoo Linux box

Windows XP Fujitsu Laptop

Acer 663 Laptop (Mine)
Windows XP Pro/Gentoo Linux box (Mine)

Crappy Windows 2k box

Windows XP Pro

All linked up with Cat5e and a Wireless connection on a WRT54G which is actually running OpenWRT Linux distro (don't ask!)

[aidanjt]

3mbps ntl cable internet

2 10/100Base-TX switches
All Cat5e cabling.

My rig (Raptor) running WinXP (thinking of Dual-booting with Gentoo later) connected to switch 1.

Server (Genbox) running Gentoo:
Athlon XP 2500+, 512mb ram, 120gb system disk, 2x160gb disks striped for user data (already dangerously full), 2 100mbps NICs. eth0 connected to switch 1, eth1 connected to the ntl modem, provides NAT routing/firewall, and various other services for my geeky pleasure.

switch 1 runs to switch 2 in my dads computer room.

Dads main rig (pentium-d) running WinXP connected to switch 2:
Pentium D 840, 1Gb Ram, 160Gb SATA, GeForce 6700

Dads old machine (medion) running WinXP and Ubuntu connected to switch 2:
Pentium 4 2.6Ghz/533Mhz FSB, 512Mb ram, 120Gb HD & 2x160Gb in RAID 0.
I decided to install Ubuntu on this machine so he could get used to how Linux works

I'm hoping to get my hands on a nice compact x86 based box with a 2.5" HD so I can use it for routing instead of my server, so it needs 2 NICs, does anyone know where I could get something like this for a reasonable price?.. a 500Mhz P3 and 128Mb of ram would be overkill specs, I've been looking at VIA's C3 embeded boards but its hard finding something in a compact format with 2 NICs.

OK here goes,

Crappy Visio Diag Warning>



Have just incorperated the server and it is now doing the DHCP, DNS, Active Directory and I'm messing with Streaming Media Server for a work project.
2 of the Laptops are on wireless the rest are wired due to distance.
Just need to get the server a bit quieter as its in my room!!

BrOw
