Before you all ask, yes, thats an ethernet over powerline
I would never ever let me cables get that messy.
Daniel.
Cable management? Lol what?
Yeah I am working on it.
I litterally have an extention cord and one of these hooked up to it http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&safe=off&q=ethernet+over+power&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1920&bih=979&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=6041693003132182889&sa=X&ei=AzV6T4nlLfDciAKuh61I&ved=0CF0Q8wIwAQ
I don't even want to know how much that server is costing you in power...
It's LET, you should expect unnecessary overreactions. "Gimme the sound, to see, Another world outside that’s full of All the broken things that I made"
@bijan588
You know i'm surprised with how well those things work.
When I was in SJ I used one at Matt's place to setup our router while there and it worked like a dream.

Forget the power bill, imagine the noise, I have a HP DL360 and it roars while my GEN III Dell 1950 is quiet enough it does not bother anyone upstairs, sits in my lab rack while the Dl360 gathers dust.
We throw out dozens of those DL380s each month... wish I could grab them up but the SCSI drives are expensive. :(

@Francisco They do work really well :)
@FRCorey Notice its in a basement.
@KuJoe Yeah, they are a bit past their time, but admit it, they are also tanks.
I'll take a picture of my Netbook Server when I get it back setup, never got it it since I've gotten back from vacation. Will post a pic later. :P
Also, notice the razor mech keyboard
These are under my kitchen sink.

What happens when your sink leaks?
@vps6net and how much does it cost to run all of those?
That's typically when the support tickets start rolling in.
The space and power is ~$2.500 per rack, though the total monthly is quite a bit higher.

Damn you only have VGA adaptors. Looking for DVI :P cause you know, Servers need DVI. Makes my VNC better. >.>
I want all my servers to have nvidia cards! It will make minecraft containers faster
I have a dl380and can't work out what to do with it because it must be the loudest and most power hungry server ever!
Bah! Horrible things that pollute my radio spectrum!
Other than that, nice ;)

How high is your kitchen sink? - Are you a giant?! :)
@vps6net What Datacenter is that picture taken from? I'm just asking because you have multiple locations on your host.
Mine is the one on the right with the external hard drive on top.
I used to have all kinds of hardware & stuff in my basement office. I got rid of it and moved everything to 3 VMs at the office. It's about 5 kms away and I have a point-to-point wireless link that does maybe 8 mbps. Not great but plenty for what I need.
Electrical bill has gone down and it so quiet here now :)
@dmmcintyre3 Is that a Dell Dimension 2400 3 over from the right? I have the same box!
Signatures are to identify who I am. I'm me. Who the hell are you?
Wheres "Claw"?

Claw is that one with the hard drive on the top. The others are not his.
I thought Claw was a Laptop?
How to create 'MyLowendboxs'
Not anymore if I remember correctly.
@yomero, weird, it IS up.
It was until around Christmas 2011.
Did it die or did you just get rid of a desktop that ran better?
How to create 'MyLowendboxs'
I got a new one, as everything we had laying around was pentium 4 or worse.
That rack is at Cermak in Chicago, personally my favorite of the 5 DCs. :)

The mainboard inside the box is actually a Intel DH61AG with mSata SSD drive and core i5 quad core CPU. It is a very peculiar and fast motherboard, it uses a notebook power supply (outside the photo).
Lol, are you using the mobo's carton as the case? :D How good does that work out in terms of heat and stability?
lol :P
This is FDCServers, right? ;)
Interesting set-up though. I too would like to know what happens when it err... sets on fire.
I redid all the cables, still no zippy ties.
Nice setup you got there @bijan588. Those oldies rack up alot of power so check out your powerbill ! =P
@ElliotJ haha, FDC's server organisation is a joke, I would never lease from them.
It is more like a Kimsufi dedicated server (OVH uses bare boards). It works perfectly nice and stable since last september, but you cannot do that on a ordinary motherboard. The DH61AG motherboard is designed for low cost and relatively high performance embedded applications and panel PC's, with extended operating temperature range and long-life capacitors. If fitted with a special flat CPU cooler, it is possible to stack 2 mainboards (one on top of the other) in 40mm height. With a low-voltage Core i5 processor (max 65W TDP), standard height heatsink and mSATA drive, you can put this mainboard into a cardboard box without overheating (if the CPU load is mostly below 50%). There are two holes on the side of the bord to help a natural convection cooling.
Way to go FDC. http://vivithemage.com/zen/blog/bad_datacenter/. I know they denied that they were production servers and all but meh..
That IP on the box doesn't belong to them?

Dunno if they're real pictures but.. http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/IT-watch-blog/fdcservers-colocation-data-center-gives-new-life-to-the-term-boxen/
Looks like a mess!!! But I like it, if it works, who cares if seems prettry or not :D
Good point. Maybe those "high class" data centers spend too much time and money making everything look and sit perfectly. haha. I mean, as long as it's reliable without heat problems, etc :)
