Agreed! It also helps me learn the technology for work which is a great step. Right now I am just working on getting the dot11radio to work, so much fun!

Just picked this up on ebay for 400$
Going to run the free home version on the unit.!
Sweet little box there. But, man, for running Astaro Free you could have spent 1/4 of that.
it's all ok! I wanted the pretty device in my rack, now to get the unit, get the software running. and figure out how the lcd will work.
1/4 could be roughing it... 1/2 yeah... I got the little supermicro:

Sadly the price has shot up since I got it (Got it for $229 iirc!
). But it makes for a great little server for those interested. Dual Intel gigabit nics are icing on the cake 1/4 could be roughing it... 1/2 yeah... I got the little supermicro:

Nice little unit, i got this one the 220, for 400$ just need to install the free home version on it! it looks sweet!! gunna look good in my rack!

I nust say having the 8 ports on the front does look interesting. Are they each a individual interface??
I believe so ! Will know soon, unit is being shipped Monday, will have inside unit pics soon too

Yes, those are all individual NICs. You can set them up as individual interfaces or assign some to a bridge and make a "switch" out of them if you needed to.
In that case, it's worth the extra couple of bens. Especially if you need to use them all as vlans

If the device's nics support tagging, then you really don't even need all the interfaces.

They're Intel NICs so they support tagging. However, Astaro does not support tagging or vlan trunking, so you need all those interfaces if you don't have another router or want to do port based VLANs with the native software.
Symantec Gateway 5620 (running Untangle) got on eBay for $15 NIB!
HP 24-port Gigabit Switch from eBay for $60
Homemade panel with temperature readout and switch that turns LED light strips
over the keyboard on and off.
Crappy Dell CRT and keyboard
Dell Poweredge 2650 running Web Servers ($90 on eBay)
Dell Poweredge 2850 running DB Servers ($65 on eBay)
(Not Pictured at bottom of rack is a 1500 Watt rackmount UPS I picked up for $30 on, you guessed it, eBay.
All of this is housed in a Dell 4020 fully enclosed rack that I practically stole on eBay for $35. The rack also came with about $250 worth of rack rails that I sold on eBay and recouped most of the cost of all of the equipment above.
Fortunately there is a seller a couple hours from me that starts everything at $15 and lists them "as-is", no reserve, and free local pickup.
Most buyers are turned away by the as-is, but if you read their descriptions they actually test everything they sell. Seller's mistake is my fortune I suppose

That's a very cool setup, nice touch on the custom temp sensor
. I cannot believe you actually sold the rails and made a chunk of it back haha...NTAuthourity

I am not too sure if you would want to wait till marriage on that, lol a buddy of mine did that and got shot down many times to the point of having to hide it all in 100 diff places and wire it up.

I am forcing myself to get my CCNA before I start buying voice equipment. I have major ADD when it comes to tech, I switch back and forth and that is something that I would buy in a heart beat and learn as much as I can, but CCNA first I tell myself. Ok, I dabbed in wireless big deal.
REALLY ? you have add also ? me 2 LOL! I was reading a book about ADD, did you know that most tech's ( computer or electronics ) are ADD ? they have the capability to learn VERY FAST! compared to others with out add, witch is a rare thing.
Weird eh ?
People with ADD also tend to notice things that 'don't look right' more quickly, which makes for great troubleshooters - hey, look, there's a chicken(***)
(***) apologies to all those without ADD who just don't get this.
i don't see on chicken, woah, look a pretty blue light, what were we talking about again ?
I know what you mean. I find my ADDishness really helps when I'm cleaning or troubleshooting

BING! it helps me as computers interest me so much, my wife hates it because i always talk about firewalls networking etc etc, If she could only understand. Her usual comment is, does it work ? if not fix it, if it does work, stop screwing with it LOL
Updated pic. Wiring needs fixed. Ig time now lol. Sorry aboutthe size ill edit when i get home cause mobile wont let med edit rofl

I got my POE injector in today so I hung the 1131 on the wall for now:
It will be going on a ceiling after I do a cable run.

Gotcha,
What did you setup the radio for, Range or Throughput?
Doing some site surveys with the unit placed in the location of your choosing with switching between those modes - that is basically what I am doing right now, trying to find the best spot, but I do have to say even with the unit on the bench right now it is giving remarkable range.

Finally got my out-of-band system setup (monoprice had been out of RS232 to RJ45 adapters for a month!) and cables are cleaned up. No zip ties allowed, all velcro. Still need proper rails for servers on the bottom half as they are sitting on each other or shelves. Also need to call electrician because I'm embarrassed to say my essential components are running off the dinky Office UPS in the back as I don't have a dedicated 30A circuit yet.
