New Dual-Xeon server
In category General on 15 Apr 2007 @ 10:43 pm
During the week I've been looking on Ebay for servers and stuff because I've had some ideas as to what I could use one for around the house. On Thursday I came across one that was perfect for what I wanted, it was in Brisbane and took DDR ECC memory. $500 was the asking buy it now price but I didn't want to spend that much on it. I emailed the seller and asked how much he wanted for it without any ram (I had 2gb), and without the HDD. He was desperate to sell it and offered the whole lot to me for $300 cash.
I drove over and got me a new server on Saturday morning.
Specs:
2x (Dual) Xeon 2ghz P4 with Hyperthreading
6x 512mb DDR Registered ECC ram
2x 60gb IDE HDD
Intel 7500 WV2 Server board
1RU rack mount Intel chassis
KJ and I added a Belkin 54g wireless card, set up a physical loopback as an internal network that all its services are bound to which makes it a wireless mobile all-in-one server. With any luck I'll learn something useful.

I could put wheels on it and ride it down hills.

Don't be stupid...
It'd look silly with wheels AND a goatee

I didn't learn anything. Attempt 2 is in progress.
