Hello, everyone. It's time to clean house and get rid of some of the old computer stuff I have laying around. This stuff is bordering on vintage, but all of it still has life left in it, and it'd be a shame to just toss it out for recycling. Stuart.
Compaq Proliant 7000 Tower Server - $500 This was my main file server at home for about three years. Runs flawlessly. Quickspecs - http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10537_na/10537_na.PDF Quad Xeon PIII-500/2M CPUs 2.5GB RAM SA3100ES RAID Controller 3x Redundant Hot Plug Power Supplies 18x 18GB Hot Plug SCSI Hard Drives DLT-7000 35/70GB Tape Drive (uses DLT-IV media) CD-ROM Drive Floppy Drive Brand New Compaq Keyboard and Mouse Comes with lots of spares including the following: Memory Modules Power Supply Hard Drives Fan DLT Cleaning tape (sorry no data tapes, they were all securely destroyed)
HP Netserver LC3 - $200 This has been a fantastically reliable server for me. Due to its limited internal storage, this was my dedicated email server for a couple of years. Using RAID5, 18GB of storage was more than enough for the OS, email server of choice and data store for our small number of users. If you wanted to use it as a file server, use the internal storage for the OS, and hang a couple of USB drives off the back for the bulk of your data. Or really go to town and use some external SCSI enclosures hooked up to the connections on the back of the RAID controller. Dual PII-450 CPUs 1GB HP RAM NetRAID 3Si RAID Controller 3x 9GB Hot Plug SCSI Hard Drives HP SureStore DAT24 Tape Drive HP 10/100 NIC CD-ROM Drive Floppy Drive Modem USB2 Card Extras: 6x Spare hard drives Spare memory modules Spare Power Supply Spare RAID Controller 3x DAT Cleaning Tapes 40 Brand new HP DAT24 tapes (still in the shrink wrap) Manuals CDs
Vanilla Whitebox Server - $100 Dual PIII-850 CPUs w/aftermarket coolers Tyan S1832DL Mobo 1GB Crucial RAM (4x256MB) Adaptec 29160N SCSI Card Nvidia Video Card 3COM 10/100NIC Dual Power Supplies DVD-ROM Drive Floppy Drive Room for at least 8 internal hard drives Comes with no hard drives, so you'll need to supply your own. This was my Unreal Tournament server for some time, but it turned out to be way overpowered for the job, and was just too big to lug around to LAN parties.
Merilus Firecard Plus - $100 This is one of the coolest computer products I've ever owned. It is a 0U firewall appliance that fits inside any computer with a spare PCI slot, which is used to power the card. Other than drawing power from the host, it is a self-contained computer within a computer. The 'Plus' version includes on-board modem for OOB management, a feature missing from the regular version. No software is provided with this card (since I moved to Watchguards I let the maintenance lapse some time ago) so it is perfect for replacing your failed Firecard, or upgrade it to the latest Gateway Guardian OS software for as little as $124 at http://www.netmaster.com/ to get all of the following features: Dynamic Packet Filtering The firewall functions with several layers of access restrictions, and can be set for both inbound and outbound traffic. IPSec Compliant VPN Server A Virtual Private Network Server that hosts multiple secure communication tunnels over an unsecured network such as the Internet. Traffic Management Control the amount of bandwidth available to each user for each service they access (such as Web, FTP, Email, etc.) Configurable for both inbound and outbound traffic. Bandwidth Accounting Custom bandwidth usage reports by use, type of service, etc. for easy tracking of usage trends. Port Stealthing Conceals your external Internet ports from all Internet traffic effectively hiding your firewall from view. SNMP Monitoring Easily view your defensive posture through any SNMP enabled Agent, such as NetMaster's CSM or HP's OpenView management tools. SNMP Trap Management Real-time SNMP trap alerts of system intrusion attempts, excessive CPU or memory usage and customized event traps can trigger user configured actions such as to send an email, page a user or event execute a command. Status Web Server Access complete device profiling with the embedded Status Web server. Know exactly what is running, and what policies are active. You can even diagnose potential problems quickly and easily. Routing Capabilities Can create an unlimited amount of static routes to enable communication between subnets and/or remote offices. Full Remote Configuration Multiple NetMaster security products can be managed and monitored simultaneously using our Centralized Security Management tool.(CSM) An excellent feature for providing managed security solutions or to easy manage larger multi-branch networks.
SOLD Cisco Switches/Routers - $95 for the lot These were a part of my CCNA Lab, but are now surplus to requirements. 2x Cisco WS-C1924-A Switches 24x 10M Ports 2x 100M Ports Console Port AUI Interface Latest CatOS 1x Cisco 2503 Router 1x 10M AUI Interface 2x Serial Interface 1x BRI ISDN Interface 1x Console Port 1x AUX Port 2x Cisco 1005 Routers 1x 10M Port 1x ~4M Serial Port 1x Console Port Comes with the following: All necessary Power supplies 1x Rollover/console cable (Baby blue one) 2x DCE/DTE crossover cables to connect 2503 serial ports to 1005 serial ports 1x 10M AUI/TP Transceiver
Big Old Box o' Cables - $45 The rats nest in this box contains at least one of each of the following cables: USB 1/8" M/M Audio Headset/Microphone External SCSI - Centronics External SCSI - 50pin MicroD External SCSI - 25pin/Centronics External SCSI - 50pin/Centronics External SCSI - 68pin Phone cord Parallel VGA SCA HD Adapter Null modem Serial 9F/25M Power cord Ethernet Laplink Internal floppy Internal IDE Internal SCSI - 50pin Internal CD Audio Internal WOL Power Extension Coax Splitter RCA a/v Cable S-Video The box was actually packed recently, so the cables haven't had a chance to become too entangled yet.
Misc Extras Intel CA810e Motherboard - $25 Includes a CPU (I seem to think it is a PIII-600 or PIII-650) and 256MB RAM. Pulled out of the Vanilla server listed above when I installed the Tyan board. Was working at time of removal. http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ca810e/A0341501.pdf Asus A7M266 Motherboard - $30 This mobo came out of Trish's PC when we had trouble with it. I bought a spare mobo, as part of the troubleshooting process, but the problem turned out to be a bad Crucial DIMM (yes, I couldn't believe it either). So, this board is fine, and was working at the time it was pulled. No CPU or RAM. Plextor ConvertX PX-M401U Digital Video Converter - $55 This box will take your analogue video inputs (RCA or s-video) and convert them to MPEG-1/2/4 for storage on your computer. Conversion is done within the unit itself, so it works well with older processors. Does require USB2, though. Hooked up but never actually used. I found the same functionality built into my Camcorder when I accidentally read the manual one day, so this became surplus. http://www.plextor.com/english/Archive/products/ConvertX.html 3COM OfficeConnect 8/TP Hub - $10 It's a 3COM hub, with 8 ports, and they run at 10M. There's really not much more to say about it.
Wow stoooo we should discuss pc stuff more often! I didn't know you had servers for sale. Wish I had money. Bump for some good pc equipment - even if it's just for a counterstrike server.
Damn stu... i REALLY want that dual processor box... just wrong time of the season for me to have disposable income though... the car keeps eating it all.. Coil over rebuild... springs... tires... wheels.... i'm practically rebuilding the whole dam car this year...
My home office makes most techies drool with envy. But with two kids now, I just don't have time to play with this stuff like I used to, so it might as well go and find a good home elsewhere. The Vanilla Server would make a good CS server. I acquired an old Compaq Deskpro PIII-800 a while ago, and that is now my UT server. Plenty enough horsepower for the job, and a lot more portable, although I've only had to take it to two LAN parties since I got it. Hey, we really ought to do the LAN-party-at-Davannis thing sometime. That worked out pretty well last time. I've also wondered if we could finagle the party room at the EP Brunswick Zone for free if we promised to buy lots of food and beer. Stuart.
We could do a lan party in my basement if you wanted. I'd just have to run a wireless accesspoint and a switch down there, but with 4 - 6 tables, I don't see why we couldn't have a couple dozen people tucked down there. I have a pretty good box for serving games too. That 25 dollar Mobo/PIII/ram combo might make for a nice home file server starting point. I'll call dibs if that's cool.
Sweet! Now all I need is a PS and some Hard Drives for it. Do you think they even make 500 GB drives in IDE ?
Score! Sorry, I've gotten used to the cases not coming with power supplies anymore. When did that start happening?
I'm not into buying alot of cases. I just had a MOBO die and you can have what's in it. You should come down to AV tomorrow and we can grab some wingz. I'll get Dream to go.
