    Hey guys.. sorry about the outages over the last couple of days.. I was trying to milk along the old server till I found a new one.. The hardware was old and worn out and failing miserably (either motherboard or processor)

    Well, last night we got a server donated to us! Say "hello!" We should now be stable! :-D

    LOL!!

    right now a P3 450. mobo is dual proc capable, up two 600 mhz P3.. so I'm gonna try and find two P3 600 slot1 processors :)

    RAM = 768 PC100

    HD = 9MB SCSI

    bandwidth capacity... of the server? 100mbps.. of my cable modem? 2mbps downstream, 384 kbps upstream (unfortunately)

    daily traffic info? ummm.. please don't make me go look this up ;-)

    I come across lots of Xeons so I can keep an eye out for some if you want. What board is it? Onboard SCSI or host adapter? Looks like an onboard SCA backplane. Hot-swappable SCSI then? You can get loads of SCA SCSI devices on eBay for CHEAP. You should be running RAID 1 on those drives if at all possible. Also get a UPS for it and your cable modem so power hiccups don't cause it to go down. Yeah, I know, it all costs $$$ [xx(]

    My dual 1900 machine will soon be running back-up to my dual 3.06 Xeon machine. I'd offer to run it as a mirror if I were able to get broadband out here in the sticks. Depending on how much use for it I have once the new system is up and running it may find itself being "donated" or sold ;)

    yep, hot swappable. I need more HD space in there.. I had to leave some stuff on the old drive as it went rom 40GB to 9B :-o.

    I'm also working on getting dual P3 slot1 600 MHZ... if you run across any, let me know!

    Those already covered. Have an APC UPS 2000. Would keep my old server, cable modem, and router up for 3 hours before dying.. I'm guessing it'll go a lot quicker with this one (more fans and crap)

    mmmm...Needs more bandwidth... Actually the cable modem seems to be handling this quite nicely.

    OS?

    I have a 10K rpm Ultra 160 HD just sitting here. It has a back plane connector so I can't use it in my machine. If it would work with your setup I'd give it to ya.

    But you would have to let me make sure it is wiped clean.

    Jakezor.. that sounds great! What's the capacity of the drive? Yes, it would get wiped clean.

    Thanks!

    18GB if I remember correctly. I'll dig it out tomorrow and take a picture of the connector for you.

    That would be sweet! The one in the server is 9GB and I had to really pare things down as the old one was 40 GB with 14 used.

    Thanks!

    I can get two Coppermine P3s @600 MHz with HSF for $35 each shipped. There are also a few 18GB SCA SCSI drives for $50 each. I bet if you bought two CPUs and three SCSI drives he may sell for $200. Just a heads-up on some equipment I saw for sale. He also has some nice IBM Ultrastar 36GB drives, but they're 68-pin LVD. I also have a free 9GB Seagate Ultra2 (50-pin) SCSI drive that I pulled from work if you need it. It can come with an external bay for it if you have an external 50-pin connector. It's just sitting there doing nothing. Let me know...

    This is my current project:
    http://www.4wheelracing.com/media/dh800/
    Now I just need some processors for it :cool:
