  • @earl - its a router for sure, but your DSL router has more power :) Just plug in power and run a rolled console cable from console to an RS232 on your computer. Load up some serial terminal emulator - 9600 8N1 and you should be up.

    @earl - LOL I haven't seen one of those in a LONG time. Last time I saw one of them I was working at BT. They used to give them away for Megastream (E1) services.

    $243.88 OMG! Should be more like $10

  • earlearl Member

    After I renovated my house I can't find half of where anything is.. I need that silly console cable.

    Thanks for the info Mark.

  • @earl - Just make one - 1-8, 2-7, 3-6 and so on.

    If you're saying it's slower than my dsl router than I'll probably not bother.. seems like a lot of work! :P

    But you're saying it will function as a router on it's own right?

  • @earl - its beyond slow. Its designed for 2 x T1/E1. With the right software it will also support Frame Relay, SMDS and chanelised E1/T1. It should be in a museum. Unless you have some form of protocol converter, you're not going to be doing much with it these days.

    If you can get $200 on Ebay for it, I'd sell it!

  • @earl- to put it into context that router was about around the same time as Wellfleet and Synoptics were announcing their merger! T1/E1 was hot stuff then :)

    clamhost, that's not much of a load on these, right?

    Sorry don't understand what you are asking.

    Based on what I think you was asking. there is a total of 7 VPS nodes in that part of the cabinet all sharing a Juniper EX3300. with a crappy old HP Switch for the Private Networking. Load does vary with each machine at 25-35% CPU Utilization at all times. with 11A of power usage.

  • In most parts of China, port 80 is blocked @ family broadbands :(

  • I can only imagine the power consumption (and costs) of some of these. (Thats pretty much the reason I don't have a homeserver myself)

    How much does it cost? Made in China?

    MrGeneral said: How much does it cost? Made in China?

    It's basically a 3 x 5 bay mobile rack from supermicro in a computer case.. each rack is around $150-$200, so around $600 just the mobile rack alone maybe $150 for the case?

    Probably made in China, I don't have one, so can't confirm.

    There is a cheaper version from IcyDock for around $119

    @hawc

    Was that not a prank for april fools? I'm not sure if they really took an actual pic of your server..

  • hawchawc Moderator, LIR

    It was a prank. Not sure if they are actual pictures though. I think they are

  • earlearl Member

    Hmm.. just browsed over the first page and I notice some comments were deleted.. wondering if this was done by a mod? it was off topic anyways, but just curious.

    No, they didn't take a pic of your actual server, I've got a HP server with them and when I got my picture it was of a Dell.

    Lol close enough :)

  • My little home rack. Three hypervisors in a vSphere cluster + fileserver.

    Also have this AMD machine in the attic running some radio stuff.

    Banana Pi!

    You've got a very nice setup..you host any websites on it?

    appreciate the post thank you..

    One or two minor things behind a reverse proxy on a VPS but my internet is too slow to do anything useful. Mostly just for personal use

    Let me throw in my little warrior: IGEL 4210 LX

    It might have a weak chest in some situations, but given the local electricity rates and my requirements in a home server it does a pretty nice job! :)

    Yeah, those thin clients are great.. they probably use less than $10/yr worth of electricity.

    I have a few WYSE V30L,that I put in a hard drive and installed Debian.. Works pretty good. Unfortunate part is it's 32 bit processor and only takes 1 GB of RAM.

    Here is what it looks like:

    Anyone interested in messing around with a thin client, here is a good site.
