Hehe my little minimalist 19" rack
1" angled iron, welding, grinding and handful of m6 bolts. TADA!
Picked up those nokias for 5e/piece from local recycling store. No freaking what to do with them, they just seemed interesting.
Seem like pentium 3 stuff, SDR, 4x Intel 100/10 nics, places for 2x pc card, cf or 2.5" IDE storage
That was my dream too!I so want to play with fibre at home
So far I'm really happy with them. Though only a few are implemented yet.

The comms rack looks terrible, mainly just happy to move all the network and comms out of the server rack and into its very own dedicated APC two post rack
OHHH look at those nice shiny red boxes DO WANT ONE!
Whats the white box ?
.I've got a pair of those Fireboxes too... and I'm not that impressed with them. I don't know if I had a config issue or what, but they struggled with my 50/5 connection. Running pfsense of course
And are uber noisy, quite hot, and not great on power :/
The red boxes are one Firebox X700 and one X-i-forget, they are hardware wise the same boxes, one is upgraded to 1.3GHz P3 and 512MB ram, which is the most it can handle, the other runs 1.4GHz Celeron or something with 512MB ram (up from 256MB stock).The comms rack looks terrible, mainly just happy to move all the network and comms out of the server rack and into its very own dedicated APC two post rack

Those do run pfSense
The display and everything works, even though they are getting on a bit in age now, these days I would probably get an Atom or Bobcat instead. But the chassis is so neat though, so wondering what i should do with them.AhhI saw a thomson 799....what ISP do you Have...? i work in Portugal telecom and here we use this routers for IPTV clients with 100/200mb fiber
Yes, its a Thompson/Technicolor 789ivn, I'm in Norway and my ISP is NextGenTel, its their new triple-play thing with IPTV, VoIP and all that, which all disappears when you bridge it.. I wish it was fiber, but its probably going to be a while still I've got a pair of those Fireboxes too... and I'm not that impressed with them.

Been spending the last few months rebuilding the garage into dedicated server room, so noise is of no issue.. the power they are muching down however is the main reason for them not being online these days.. along with their mediocre performance.. well being P3's and all that i guess time has just left them behind. The chassis is very cool though, if nothing else
All ports gigabit on the AT layer3. I don't really need the L3 stuff since VLANS will suffice to separate ESX and data traffic. 42W for the AT against 8W for the HP, easy call to make. Also, the web interface is awesome
Yeah, the chassis pretty neat, just soooooo loud without the performance to make it worthwhile. One of mine started becoming unstable too and now won't usually won't even post. I gave up and virtualised pfsense on one of my ESXi boxes, ideal
If i get one, i'll make a video of how to make them quiet and stable
I was thinking about how to get one cheap, with bad caps, and that can be another thread on how to change caps easily with out causing damage, AND another for making the x500-x700 quiet
New printer has fiber NIC, LED lighting and a VNC server. Pretty cool.
5 hours later and you will want to HATE you're job 
you are job? Steve Jobs? What?i dunno, but sounds but un educated for sure!
the only bad part about that printer, is going the 65k printer kit

Originally got it to electrically insulate my modem, as our area has been somewhat lightning prone, and the last thunderstorm fried half my distribution switch.. lucky it did not make its way all the way to the core... but then i got bitten by the bug and could not stop buying
