@NTAuthourity So what didn't you like about the astaro box? Never seen one in person all though Captian keeps trying to con me into getting one
Haha I actually never got to test it. I got it from a store on Ebay. They were selling it for 150.00 but the OS on the drive was corrupted. The factory reset menu worked but it never reset a thing...different case it just halted saying that "it couldnt lock memory file"....I still have the drive but i changed it for a different one incase someone could fix it. If you do get one let me know how it works lol
Doesn't it have a VGA port on it? USB keyboard should work, too. Go download Astaro Home and toss it on that pig!
I wish it did but this is rev1 of that box. Only rev2/3 and higher have the VGA. And GIG-E (tear haha. Astaro Home eh? Alright ill hit up the sites and get a copy. Thanks
Well, as long as we're posting pics of our bedroom datacenter / storage / workshops, here's mine from about a year ago (this room is in a CONSTANT state of change)...
agree, love all the storage and mixture of man gear.THis is a man cave, id so live in here
hahaha, brings me back to the days when I was 17 and building something like that!+1
Closet datacenter
@enmtx, I love the makeshift rack you have there, and nice touch on the Visio. , but if I may why the D-link instead of a second 8 port or a dual 16 port Mgd gig Linksys switch?
@enmtx How much you pulling on the Kill-A-Watt?
3.9 amp currently, which is everything including the non-pictured Buffalo wireless router.
Both the rack and D-Link were free
Next thing on my list is a second managed gigabit switch, 8 ports is far more limiting with this setup, so I might save and go bigger. Any suggestions? We are a Cisco shop at work so I bought the Linksys for the somewhat similar CLI. Not sure if I can afford gig Cisco for home right now.
lol i Can't complain either, free is the best word. There are 2 Linksys SRW2024's on for $195.00 US on ebay..I am not sure if you have a budget for what you would like to spend, but here is the link as a buy it now.

The only diss is that there are no rack ears included with them. but retail it may be more than 400..
Thanks for the link, do you think the SRW2024 is loud? I have a Cisco 3500XL too, but it's too loud for this location in my house. I don't believe the SRW2024 supports SNMP, I like the neat Cacti graphs the SRW2008 makes.
Heres one im currently working on. 30 computers for a client... the computers are all for town-wide CCTV purposes (ran out of cable bars, so hafta order more and still hafta install front wire manager)
I'm with captain. Virtualization has worked great for CCTV in the scenarios I've seen. Especially when you get into hundreds or thousands of IP Cameras. Better to have a couple of powerful machines than tons of average, but then again it doesn't look as cool.Jeebuz, thirty computers? Is VMware not an option? I would think that would save a ton on hardware, power & cooling, high-availability, etc....
Looks nice, though.
Here is my temporary setup while I'm at university for this month working.
Top to bottom:
Dell PowerConnect 2724 - 24 Gigabit Ports, Web-managed switch
Watchguard Firebox x750e (Firewall) - Running pfSense, 2GB RAM, 1.3Ghz Intel, 6GB Microdrive, 8 10/100/1000 interfaces
Dell PowerEdge 1750 (ESXi Server) - 2x Intel Xeon 3.06Ghz, 3x 73GB SCSI 10,000K, 8GB RAM, 2x Gigabit NICs, vmware ESXi
Dell PowerEdge 2650 (ESXi Server) - 2x Intel Xeon 3.06Ghz, 3x 73GB SCSI 10,000K, 12GB RAM, 2x Gigabit NICs, vmware ESXi, DRAC
Symantec Gateway Security 5440 (File Server) - Intel Xeon 2.6Ghz, 320GB IDE, 3x 2TB SATA, 4GB RAM, 3x Intel Dual Port Gigabit NICs, Windows 2008 Server
Not pictured:
Linksys E2000 Wireless N Access Point
13" MacBook - 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive, Windows 7 Ultimate
Mac Mini - 1.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive, Snow Leopard
Whitebox (Media Center) - Intel Pentium Dual Core 2Ghz, 2GB RAM, 750GB hard drive, TV tuner, Windows 7 Ultimate
I've got a little more at home that'll I will try to post in a couple of weeks.
How are those boxes for running server 2008? I want to setup Exchange on a server, but would like to go with something that has a smaller footprint.
I assume you are asking about the Symantec. It runs Windows 2008 Server pretty well for me as a file server. It comes with just 1GB of RAM and so I installed 6x512MB ECC sticks of RAM for a total of 4GB. The processor is just a single core Intel Xeon. It comes with a 2.4Ghz one stock, and I replaced it with a 2.6Ghz one I had on hand. It has dual CPU sockets on the board. I don't know what you mean so much by smaller footprint because it's the size of your typical 2U server. It's 2ft deep.
hey ciscoinside, how loud is that dell 2U server ?
nope, just not pictured. They both have 1x 2500w PSU but the bottom box will be powered with a 1000w(sup2) PSU so I can utilize 115v@15a instead of 20a Every single box I have has PSUs, has been tested and functions perfectlylooks like you have some really nice cisco gear in there missing power supplies

P.S. Why does every node need a Optical drive?
6506'sahhh, very cool
what models are they anyway??

Looks nice, though.
How would vmware cope with multiple monitor outputs? Each computer goes to a dedicated monitor... each computer is basically used to monitor a different facility (for cameras).
Jealous...ugh, such a horder... lol, planning for the future.
