Uhh I dont see where I said that you need a new computer. Anyways I was just offering. Its not like I fucking needed to be nice and help. By the way I know plenty of people with lots of money to throw at nice servers but dont know shit about them.

that’s too , i set up an old b open ox with BSD and configured it to look like it ran some oddball OS when they scan it with nmap. and it’s on a seperate network on a fully open AP it’s called DNS,FIREWALL,ROUTER it’s basicly just a box with different jails for people to play with if they get on my network, they’ll think it’s some kind of important server

I actually own a netframe 6201, it has 4 processors running 300mhz each. This baby is HUGE, when i mean HUGE i mean its fucking BIG. Takes 2 people to lift it. Weights around 80-100 pounds. I have yet to get her running perfectly. I also have a netframe 3101 w/ 2 processors 300mhz each. I got them from a company that upgraded there webservers. I got like 7 hubs and 6 UPS things. Pretty neat systems. The scsi i can’t figure out though, help me out?

But the cool things I have two western digital 500gb external Hard Drives that I got as a upgrade from my dad who is into computers ever since the apple IIe and macintosh line

Ditto! I interned at a shop that ran AutoCAD on NT and they had to be PPro boxes, nothing less.
Recycling shops are awesome and Seattle is like electronics central. There a State surplus around too?
January 5th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
It’s not scrapped — yet. Still have the whole 4200 and guts packed away. If you’re interested, let me know.

When I first got into 3D Graphics and I wanted 3D Studio MAX (Windows Version) it ran BEST under Windows NT 4. 0 (which was “true” 32-BIT) you NEEDED a Pentium Pro to get that software to run at a decent clip. Thats what I wanted more than anything in 1996. A Pentium Pro system.
In Seattle in January 2007, there are 2 PC recycling stores called RE-PC (Google them) and they had boxes full of old Pentium Pro’s. They were either broken or working, but they recycle them, $5 worth of GOLD in each CPU
January 5th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
NOOOO!!! I can’t believe you scrapped a Poweredge 4200! The case can be used for a million uses!!! Imagine, putting an xbox 360, a PS2, a PS3, a Dreamcast, A Megadrive, SNES etc. . . take all the PCB’s out of the consoles and fit them into the case with controller ports and disc drives on the front! OMG that would be awsome. . . think im gonna look for another poweredge 4200 now :-p
January 6th, 2010 at 12:09 am
You know they cost $1,000 new. . . when bought in quantities of 1000 or more! lol Retail price was about $1,299. . .
January 6th, 2010 at 12:24 am
LOL my girlfriend is ALWAYS asking me why I need a server. She just doesn’t see the beauty of a quad processor P3 xeon humming away. . . storing all your files. . . . I usually get a slap when I reply that servers don’t bitch and moan as much as she does lol
January 6th, 2010 at 12:57 am
hehe. Does Moore know? and does the price of gold follow his Law?
January 6th, 2010 at 1:00 am
Me too! They were beasts!! And great air flow. Sad to have decommissioned it a few months ago. It was still running just fine.
You’re the 2nd person I’ve read that refabbed the casing. One guy has instructions online (somewhere) for gutting the old electronics inside and turning it into a water-cooled desktop.
January 6th, 2010 at 1:30 am
Yea, a customer had some old SGI cabinets that I drooled over. 1) they’re tall and heavy, and 2) it would need to go out of the way, like a basement, which I no longer have
But yea, beginning to get racked boxes.
January 6th, 2010 at 1:52 am
There is about $5 of gold in that old pentium pro CPU. Shhh!! its a secret!
January 6th, 2010 at 2:01 am
OMG i love your Dell Poweredge 4200! I used to have one about 5 years ago until I sold it on eBay for £60 (about $100) and regretted it ever since! she was my baby lol. I bought another on eBay for a PENNY, yes 1 single penny, but the shipping was about £15 ($25) then I’m going to ‘Pimp My Poweredge’ and swap the intake fans at the front for a sub-woofer and tweeters, install fan-cooled (rather than passive) CPU’s and spray it black. . .
Then auction it back on eBay for charity

I run CentOS 5. 2 on that server.
At work I’m upgrading the file/print server from a dual Pentium 2 with Supermicro motherboard, 512MB ram (I think), and 5x 18GB drives in RAID 5 to a HP Proliant DL380 G2 which has dual P3 @ 1. 4GHz, 2GB ram, and 6x 73GB SCSI drives in RAID 5.
January 6th, 2010 at 3:07 am
Wow and I thought my server was old. Pentium D 805 @ 2. 6GHz, 1GB ram, 160GB SATA HDD
soon upgrading to: Core 2 Duo E5200 @ 2. 5GHz and 2GB ram for increased performance and lower power consumption
I do run some game servers on that machine in addition to web server, database, torrent downloads, teamspeak (voip) so processing performance does need to be pretty good.
January 6th, 2010 at 3:47 am
I could watch videos about old servers all day
Really cool that you got them running, awesome video. 5 stars!
January 6th, 2010 at 4:44 am
Dude, why dont you just get a Server Cabinet and server rack case’s and build your own cheap one? The one am building is a 42u rack system that can hold upto 200Tb of data thats 10 hds in one 4 rack unit, 2Tb sata per slot. All the case’s cost me £575 thats without the hardware but it look dam sexy
The T3 wii be a linux server used to store media files for the home. .
January 6th, 2010 at 5:31 am
can’t you make a simulater of anything watch the show code lyoko about a boy who uses a supercomputer to save the world. u should make a virtual world and put files and hide it in your own cyberspace. and if you need help with it stick to the basics like a video game and your fire wall could be like miniature little monsters to protect the files and if somebody hacks into it send your important research into the internet or litarrely in cyberzero. it is what i call the barrior after the internet

I guess you’re right.
Good thing I live in Greece and only have to suffer traffic shaping on some sites.
