Linux router

Dell GX110
P3/533
256M SDRAM
i810
20G Seagate X series

How does that router behave? I've never used a Linux box to route (using a 2Wire I bought) but I've seen many references to them. I'm curious specially as it is a rather old machine.

Re: Post your system.......

why not get a full atx board?

Re: Post your system.......

Nice job recycling DB9 bulkhead plates.

Thanks!!! Actually found those from a box of discarded stuff from my friend's office (I.T. Dept. Head). It so happens that I found that box when I bought that particular used ATX casing, which had all its plates removed for some reason.

why not get a full atx board?

Noting else was affordable in the market. Also here in my locality Full ATX boards are quite expensive and are mostly reserved for the high-end chipsets (e.g. Intel p45 & Intel p35; Nforce 5xx & 6xx series), which I actually don't need.

I love uverse, especially because every uverse box is a router, so where you have tv, you have internet.

My box is actually hooked with Cat5, I just have a little 5 port switch for my one ethernet drop

Here is a Link to my Abit IP35Pro system in an Antec P182 case.

Re: Post your system.......

oh, what the hell...

-Abit KN9 SLI (all Rubycon... RIP Abit)
-Athlon X2 5400+ Black
-2048MB DDR2-800
-Radeon 7900GT (+Samtron 19" and Belinea 17'' PVA)
-250GB Seagate 7200.9 +320GB Samsung Spinpoint T166 SATA
-NEC ND4551A DVD-RW
-some crappy LG DVD-ROM
-some crappy front panel (i recently abandoned the good old LS120)
-SB Live 4.1 (kX drivers).... i need to get the Live!Drive working some time
-BT and X10 remote dongles somewhere in the case
-recapped Coolermaster 430W (Hipro)
-case: an old IBM Netfinity 5000 server tower. this is the sturdiest case i've ever had. as high as a mini/midi tower but as deep as my desk. i'm not really excited about lifting this ting the next time i move.
it needed the royal hacksaw/dremel treatment to accept a standard ATX mobo plus some work to get the front panel working. i haven't done the upper PCI-E slots yet but don't need SLI anyway.

and my new trackball is probably going to arrive today. hooray for trackballs!
why on earth doesn't microsoft make them anymore? it was one of the things they were good at.

When I married 11 years ago (Jan.), the first Christmas that I was with my wife, she gave me a Logitech Trackball that I couldn't get on Thanksgiving at the local Walmart. When I opened she saw me and said "I hope it lasts as much as our marriage.". It lasted three years only. Now I wish my marriage would have lasted as much as the trackball ....

I started to use a trackbal in '99, when a friend give one to me.
At first I had some problems... but now I can only work with it.
I bought other 2, one for my Acer notebook and one for my children.
I'm not able to work with notebook touchpad... too stressing for me... and I have a small desk for my system/keyboard/mouse so it is not very comfortable to use a mouse.
I think trackball its a nice solution, you don't need space to move your hand and you can use it on any surface ... even when you lie in bed or on the sofa

By the way I have 3 Logitech trackball.
AFAIK it's not easy to find trackballs in shops.

Last thing: most of the time people are amazed when they see me using a trackball like they have never seen one

Re: Post your system.......

I have 5 hd's currently plugged in. I have 3 more sata drives that I need to buy a sataII card for. (300 and 2x160) I also need another cage or some other mounting. Right now I only have 1.3TB plugged in. 800GB+ used. The sata 250s are new so they are maybe 1/4 full. The sata 300 and one of the 160s is 90% full.

Under my desk is my old computer and a PIII i whipped up into a server; maybe there is 500 GB in there. All those drives are full.

When I see configurations like this, I remember when I used to hear "32MB is the limit for partitions. Your lifetime wouldn't be enough to pull up that much information....." or "640kb or RAM are more than enough to work...." back in the MSDOS days. Now, not even the smallest picture taken by a 4~5mp camera at full res can be held in that space, and the average Windows registry size wouldn't fit in a 32mb partition.

yeah, most people haven't seen one in their life. I remember that when I had mine, someone asked why I liked to use my mouse belly up.....

Re: Post your system.......

Hmm, where to start... OK, the "desktop" box, aka cheetah...

ASUS P5N72-T Premium mainboard
Intel Q6600 G0 SLACR (VID 1.2875), overclocked to 3GHz, cooled by a Zalman CNPS9500AT (which works a lot better when you RTFM and align it correctly with the case fan )
2x 2GB Corsair TwinX DDR2-1066 (total of 4GB RAM.. on a 32bit box, what a waste...)
896MB EVGA GTX260 (the standard one, couldn't afford the "OMGWTFLOLBRB superoverclocked" one, and a stock '260 is fine for HL2, Portal, TimeShift and UT anyway)
2x WesternDigital RE2 hard drives ("RAID Edition") in a RAID1 configuration (I'm a pessimist)
Liteon LH-20A1H DVD rewriter (Liteon because they basically ignore region protection, and can be used for rudimentary burn-quality assessment.. and old habits die hard)
Corsair HX620W power supply (formerly an Akasa AK650FHBKU until that blew 2 weeks in)
Antec Three Hundred case (front panel I/O block replaced once...)
Standard Antec top and rear-panel fans on low speed, plus two Noctua NF-S12s in the front panel cooling the HDDs
A couple of external USB drives (a WD Caviar-GP 500GB in an Icybox and a Seagate 400GB Pushbutton Backup)

OS on this thing is XP Pro SP3, 32 bit edition. Yes, I'm aware that the Q6600 is a 64-bit CPU, problem is I have a lot of hardware that doesn't have 64-bit drivers...

And the server, known on this side of the fence as Wolf...
mini-itx.com 1U rackmount case (actually a T-Win RAC-1E-R02), PSU fan replaced with a Sunon MagLev to get the noise down a little (but it's still noisy!)
Jetway JNC92-230 Mini-ITX Atom motherboard, with 3xGbE expansion (four GbE ports!)
2x500GB Seagate HDDs (a 7200.10 and a 7200.11)
2GB RAM (Kingston low-profile)
Sony-NEC-Optiarc slimline tray-loading DVD rewriter

OS is Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition, auto-updates enabled, and firewalled to hell.

Internet is coming in through a Netgear DG834GT (recapped by yours truly), Wolf provides email filtering, web hosting and background noise

Lastly I've got an ASUS Eee 1000H, pretty much stock-standard aside from a few extra scratches on the case.

They're not really anything special, but I like 'em
