    Rackmount Computer...thingy..

    So I polled a couple of rackmount..cases..from the local salvage Tuesday. Two were switches, and they other was some sort of router/computer. It is labaled Golden Tree Communications, and has a Celeron 1300GHZ, a pci slot, a PC100/133, as well as two usb ports, a serial port, a monitor port, some sort of PS/2 looking port as well as ETH4,ETH3,WAN,LAN ports, and some damn proprietary AC adapter power connector (19V), which off course I didn't look for, because stupid me, the others all had three prong connectors. X_x
    I am going back to look for it thou, but...

    How do I find out more about this thing, and what can I do with it?

      Golden Tree Communications is a leading provider of easy-to-use, secure, and affordable high-speed Internet access systems for hotels principally in the United States and Mexico
      if its got wan lan then its a router.

      and some damn proprietary AC adapter power connector (19V)
      thats wierd

      is it standard hardware otherwise? post some pics
      anyway even if it has some proprietary software on it, i doubt it will be very interesting. would be a decent linux server i guess otherwise

                      Proprietary battery pack
                      by Hondaman
                      Hello,

                      I hate to ask this question, because there is no easy answer. Basically, I have a proprietary battery pack. 3 AA batteries sitting on top of 4 AA batteries, glued together. I need a "tab welder" to reproduce this. But I don't really know what settings I would use.

                      Basically, it is the battery pack from a Scientology E-Meter ("John Travolta Space Cootie Detector"). I got it for journalistic, research and hilarity purposes. Only about 40,000 of these units were made ("Quantum Mark 7") so I suggest a new old stock exact match is out of...

                      Retro Server Build - The Ratdude AT Rackmount Server Case Saga!
                      by Topcat
                      You sure realize who your friends are when they grab things they think you'd like....like a NOS AT Rackmount server case that turned up at a Goodwill store in Indiana....and even hand-delivered it!





                      Inside:





                      The build in mind is a retro from way back that I'm redoing for this case.... Tyan S1564D dual socket 7.



                      The beginning...some of those standoffs will have to be surgically removed...



                      ....but the first test fit was good!

                      Testing ATX PSUs under load - Does loading the ATX 24 pin also load EPS & PCIE?
                      by AJ847.63e
                      Hi Folks,

                      Just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding of mine (or what I expect is one). Isn't the 12V rail from the 24 pin, EPS and PCIE separated? IE if I put a power resistor on the ATX 12V pin that is not going to load, thus tell me if the EPS or PCIE rails are fine?

                      I was recently watching ArIs from Hardware Busters video on how to properly test ATX PSUs without using 5 figure Croma substations.

                      The PCB adapter he used breaks out the 12, 5 and 3.3V pins from the 24 pin and gives you banana plugs to connect to. That is a bit useless is it not? Aren't...

                      Dell XPS13 9370 with LA-E671P motherboard - power issues, no 3.3V and 5V always on voltages
                      by Rosen Anastasov
                      The computer is the one in the subject. Dead. So dead, that no button, no nothing works. Zero signs of it being live until I open it.

                      What's verified - the B+ voltage is there at 8.4V.

                      Battery is probably dead, cause it was a bit over discharged (to 6V). I forcefully charged it directly on the cell terminals to 3.8V per cell. Now it has voltage on the output connector, but it is 7.1V, not 7.6V. Even when connected to the motherboard it doesn't charge. But will look at that later.

                      The +3VALWP and +5VALWP voltages are missing. Traced them to PU500 and PU501....

                      GRT60-145410 brick PSU, how much of a fire hazard is this thing exactly?
                      by spleenharvester
                      I bought an Alpicool C20 fridge, which is a 60W compressor fridge that runs on 12V or 24V, which can come from either an AC/DC adapter from mains (240V here in UK) or a car battery. The fridge itself is really good quality, so I was surprised to find the power supply (DC14.5V, 4.1A) pretty questionable. Despite being 240V/1.5A the plug was fitted with a 13A fuse - concerning, but not all that uncommon for imported chinese electronics here. But when I felt how light the brick was I immediately said hell no and transferred the proprietary connector to a MeanWell GS90A12-P1M brick (this supply is...
