Dave Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Just out of sheer curiosity, I was wondering what kindof setup people had in their homes (just a single computer, small network, etc). My main computer is a P4 3ghz, which I dual boot with Windoze 2000 (for games) and linux (for everything else) running kernel 2.6.5 under a gentoo distribution. I've also got an iMac, 400MHz PII (which I use for the server, so naturally it's linux), PIII 700MHz (linux) and an old Quadra 840av (another mac). They're all networked via my small netgear DG814 adsl modem/switch/router apart from the Quadra, and we're connected up to 1Mbps ADSL. (I've also got an old mac PowerBook 5300ce, and there's a machine running Avid Xpress Pro for my dad to use when he's working here). How bout you guys?
YT2095 Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 a P2 350mhz, 512mb ram only 256mb works as thats all the mother board recognises, and 7 Amigas (not online anymore). pretty pathetic PC really, but it works for most things

Dave Posted April 13, 2004 Author Posted April 13, 2004 Yeah, the 9800 does rock immensely. Only problem I have with the ATI drivers is that they suck under xfree, but apart from that, it's a great gfx card.

swansont Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 I want a G5 I've got one at work My G4 cube was neat looking, but needed to be replaced, and is now happily toiling as our fax server.

Radical Edward Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 With an RS232 interface, YEAH! that's a shame The Government took mine from me after I almost started a nuclear war!

DeoxyriboNucleicAcid Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 Mac G4, duel processors 1ghz, 2Gig. ram as a main comp. Attached to a router, to a powerbook G4, 1ghz, and an iMac, G3, 450 mhz (for developing, and maybe a server if i make a nice website)

Sayonara Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I thought you'd all be fascinated to hear I have upgraded: Added a 200Gb 7200rpm hard drive (now totalling 320Gb, and I may add some old ones in as a RAID array). Just ordered another 512Mb DDR RAM which will arrive (and be fitted) tomorrow, now totalling 1Gb sex0ring quotient. Next payday (friday) I'll be ordering a Dual layer DVD-RW to replace both my CD burner and DVD-ROM. This will free up an IDE channel for another 200Gb HD (September pay day's purchase). Of course that means only one of the five large bays on the front of my case will be in use, so any ideas of something funky and pointless to stick in there (please, no cigarette lighters or temperature panels. pffft) would be handy. Blankers are boring
LuTze Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Get a sounblaster audigy with one of the front panels for audio in/out, volume and firewire on it. Just about got the network straight again now, and it's got some new bits too! 1xP120 that sits there handing out internet connectivity and running remote backups/DHCP/internal DNS and such. 1xF5 BigIP load balancer. I'm not sure what i'm going to do with this yet, but it can do some pretty funky stuff including link aggregation which i'm going to give a try. It also has a cool F5 logo on the front that lights up. 1xSun Netra T1 with 2x36GB SCSI disks that runs NIS and NFS services 1xiBook G4 3xMisc desktop x86 machines, the best of which is an Athlon 64 3000 (mine, heh) 1xP3 600 Freevo that plays video from other machines on the network on the living room TV 1xMP3/NFS server 2xWireless access points and finally 2 switches, one 24-port 100MB and one 5 port 100MB.
