Computer Setup Pictures

Here's my new dorm setup!

[rl9009]

This is some of my home lab. theres more in a room next to the rack. In that rack theres about 6 TB of storage. its linked on a catalyst layer3 gige switch. a cheap-o dell 24 porter does out-of-band management. they all run debian. The bit with the orange lcd second up from the bottom is a silkworm fiber switch hooked into a SAN my job chucked cuz they were too lazy to fix it.

That is nucking futs. A home user wouldn't need a catalyst GbE switch... I only have a 8-port GbE switch...

I don't see wtf you would need a managed switch in a home for.

Well I run a W2k3 Domain at home with a child domain running, but I didn't need that! Wow that is nucking futs...

Ohayo navi...

Good lord that's a lot of hardware to have at home.

This is my newly finished living room. I would like to point out that the 50" Plasma acts as a third monitor via HDMI whenever I want to show video. But I'm building a MythTV/MAME box for it.

Ah, that feels, so, couzy and warm. Good job @redemtionboy!^^

And I thought my room as makeshift hardware(both woodwork and electronics) workshop was in a real mess.

That looks awesome ... reminds me kind of Serial Experiments Lain.

Hopefully I can top that with my next year's dorm setup

I wouldn't even try to have something like that. To me (since I wont use it) will be a waste of time, money, and effort

My machine:

Note: ^ is not my machine, but an image of the laptop model i own

It has inside:
Intel Pentium M single core 2ghz processor (better than P4 of = clock)
Intel 915GM graphics (also the northbridge)
Crucial 2Gb (1gb x2) PC4200 ram (can support 5300, but stepdad was cheap and didnt get the better ram)
160GB 5400rpm Seagate Momentus ATA/6 hard drive (system); 250GB 5400rpm Seagate Momentus SATA taped to the back of my laptop lid (connected via SATA to usb card from a freeagent go enclosure, got the drive for 70 bucks )
Standard wireless G card; nothing in PCI express slot
Windows XP for primary OS on the 160gb, win2k as backup on a spare 30gb drive, and a third OS (I have run: Win7 beta, Mandriva Linux, and Sabayon Linux, and Vista is next, although i predict all sorts of FAIL from it on my old machine) on another 30gb drive.
Peripherals: Dynex 5 button USB optical mouse, USB DVD burner (does everything except high def disks), sometimes a laptop drive in an enclosure, and a few months ago would have also included 4 external 3.5 inch desktop drives, but 3 of the enclosures have bit the dust.

I know it sucks, but its mine, i run and maintain it, and thus it works for me. I could go a step further and post what my desktop looks like *shudders* Lets just say it has a 1ghz CPU and a SiS chipset and leave it at that LMAO

I do stuff for work on that monstrosity as well as home stuff, so its not so bad. If I didn't use it, I'd get rid of it. It definitely costs too much to run from home. $600+ a month for power alone, not counting bandwidth. Hopefully I'll be upgrading the SAN soon to a Eurologic SanBlock2. Or one of the new Infotrends (if i can waffle it from work. they throw so much good stuff out).

Funny you should mention that, thats what got me really interested in working with computers.

And I thought my room as makeshift hardware(both woodwork and electronics) workshop was in a real mess.

If you think thats messy, I hope you never see my lab at work!

I hope you dont pay that bill
