Badcaps.net has NEW SERVERS!!

[Topcat]

WOOHOO!! They're FINALLY done!! The site and forum was down most of the morning while I was implementing all of this, but it's done!!

Sadly, the last VP6 has been pulled from active duty and is now 'retired'... They've been ROCK SOLID for the last 3 years running things, so they definitely earned their gold watch!

Here's some pics!

wow it is a beast. that case is unique and no frills or bullshit just serious horsepower in there.

had the same story with hdd fans they put so cheap fans in them. you could get some papst fans the same size and mod them but so expensive.

I got 6 of the black baycool III's from www.pcpowerandcooling.com ... They take up 2 5.25" bays, and can hold 3 1" height HDD's. They have 80mm fans, not those cheesy 40mm's... Over half of those cheapos didn't even work anymore, and the ones that did were extremely noisy and annoying... I guess I shouldn't have skimped 3 years ago when I got those...

Well, the server is into day 2, and not a single hiccup!

Now that is a great product. easy to source replacement fans at that size. No more fiddling with those 5,25 hdd extension rails.

nice to see you are getting into cisco ios for your router. I am pulling cables here since last week to connect to the new catalyst 2950 switch. I think it will be about 900m for the cabling 24 ports. going up and down round cupboards and bookshelves and through walls. have installed 30m of conduit already. (One day i will install in an office with drop ceiling but not in greece probaly). This is an office with many spread out rooms. my knees hurt, my back hurts, my ass hurts but i love it because it is such a joy to terminate and then patch and see those ports light up. Gotta work from 17:00 to 20:00 to not disturb personnel so this is taking a while.

ios is a major pain in the ass if you are not familiar with the syntax. First switch i have seen that does not work out of the box.

UHGG!! The Cisco (IOS) was a pain! I had help setting it up, got it running and earlier this week something got horked and had to get back into it without any help... It was a learning experience, I'll give it that!
