My Server Rack

[Bus7777]

Very nice! Going to look into upgrading my network to something like this.

[adamsb33]

why all this for something one good 1u or 2 u server can do? I'd sell all that and get 1 nice setup no bigger than 2u.

[TheChromebuster]

What kind of servers are those? Are those Dells? What models are they?

[laptopdude40]

These are nothing compared to my awesome 12 year old server!It has a 466MHZ cpu and 384 mb of RAM with a 6GB hard drive.Mine is way better.

[jcer93705]

@laptopdude40

AHHHHHHAHAHA stfu that is the funniest stuff. But hey a 12 year old server would be great for ftp and as webserver. :) Even hosting quake servers. :)

[laptopdude40]

@jcer93705 Wow.I AM using it as a web server and a ftp server!check out my video:

[superserverdude]

200 Daaarrrrrrllloooorrrs god that accent u really need to get rid of lol

[The3DComputerMan]

Do and update

[BlueRollinCoal]

@security7563494 I have home servers because I host things. The file server has 6.36TB worth of information on it. I host game servers for my friends, on-line radio station, websites, etc...

I could put it in a data center, but then I have to access everything via the internet, and its just faster to do it on my LAN.

[lolumad82]

@BlueRollinCoal hey dude i need some advice. I plan to buy a server for storage and opening my own website. something similiar to stickam. if you have any information or reccommend anybeginner books i should read on servers please let me know asap. ty

[MadDogOfist]

Do you have any complaints or likes in connection with that Netgear JGS524? I've got to write a piece on it and know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING either about the Netgear JGS524 or about running large networks or, indeed, about technology at all.

It would really help me if you could just bullet point one or two pros and cons and I'd be able to shake that out to 300 words.

[computerdude556]

... vista was the worse OS EVER

[jcer93705]

@computerdude556

Then get, or download window 7 or even better download window server 2008 r2 and use window 7 loader. :) and convert to workstation faster then window 7 but like it or not it is still window 7 on drugs. :)

[Mrthemaxdj1]

Cant wait to see the new video with more lights so we can see everything. Thanks for posting

[DavidRockLikesBoyzz]

vista is pure steaming shit, Install Linux

[bobbysam232]

nice.. 

[rhblakeman]

Most of the 300 lbs is a weight in the base to keep it from tipping over. Black Box is like Sears for IT stuff - basically everyday things rebadged with their logo and much higher price. I have a Mayline like yours I bought from state auction for $75 and it retails for $2450.

[NoRogeR]

Killer home setup, respect

[stephanosanio]

Wow! 200 bucks for that rack, that's really cheap.

[KanesShow]

whats gona be on the server?

[14pheti5h88]

I just bought a server rack from work. Mine is about 2 feet shorter, but I paid $5 for it. It's in great condition, I'll have no problem filling it once I get the money for everything.

[reflectionsofme]

Vista, Reliable ? Does not compute....

[Lil306]

Nice video, agreed with others can't see much but it was an interesting video and I've read your setup looks nice. Subscribed, so please keep us updated :)

[darkdestroyer32]

Nice setup but with all that expensive tech, I'm sure you could've afforded a flashlight so we could see. lol

[BlueRollinCoal]

@darkdestroyer32 Yea, at the time the view finder was showing the video as being more bright. Next update I do will involve LOTS more light. ;)

[judenihal]

You know I never call my home servers 'home servers' just because Home means stripped down in software. Windows XP Home Edition is a great example.

[Sliffer21]

TF servers nice do you use TCAdmin to manage your servers?

[sean0101a]

Nice, does the firewall with two gigabit interfaces and pfsense introduce much packet transfer delay compared with a firewall security appliance (sonicwall or PIX ?)

[BlueRollinCoal]

@sean0101a Almost no delay is added. About 2-3ms tops.

[NayokeHenji]

Is there a noticeable difference in temperture inside of the container since it has a cooling system? Nice deal btw.

[BlueRollinCoal]

@NayokeHenji No, the fans in the top of the rack keep it at room temp. Without the fans it does get a little warm in there though.

[MrSpinSA]

M8, love the walkthrough, and NUP the fans did not show up clearly in the video...LOL :D

I am looking at setting up a mobile GAME server for XBOX360 / Laptop (LAN Party Events) in my local area. Just wondering if you could explain your Game Server in more detail, and we would be running an IN HOUSE Event (Not Via NET) The switch and windows server seams to be the go. Any Info you can provide would be ace. I have last week set up my first home office network, (Two Laptops and a XBOX360 all!

[MrSpinSA]

Connected to the same MoDEM/Switch. I am just looking at a Mobile Base system to run 25 - 50 connected machines for my LAN Party, which I am organising for the local community. I am fairly new to this so any help would be gr8.

Been Computing since the Sinclar Machine and the BBC Micros.....yep im 40...LOL :D

[latticelinux]

Yea racks are really big and heavy as shit. I got a 42u dell rack in my office. I used the top 20 u's for a custom water cooled system

[basmagic]

on which port you connected the modem. is that a link port (special made for it) or you plug it in anywhere you like.

sorry for my english xD

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

loooooool you gonna hang your clothes in there yeh?

[AdonisRouse]

Can I lick it?

[123456iambelial]

Do you use your WRT54G as your VPN?

[BlueRollinCoal]

Nope, its just a wireless access point, nothing more. I use the PFSense firewall as the VPN server as well.

[gswimfrk]

Awesome!!! Server rack!!= Awesome+cheap!! Love it!!

[RRTSPS3]

nice rack

[xXjose130Xx]

Nice setup man :D

[bobyo134]

what is the va rating on the apc , it looks about (from the size ) 1,000 to 1,500

[BlueRollinCoal]

Its a 1500 VA, I get about 25 minutes of run time off of it.

[mi3pwns]

yeah vista blows

[Fedorausr119]

M0n0wall is better than pfsense. Its safer and uses less recources.

[BlueRollinCoal]

I've used m0n0wall in the past, and while its nice, I prefer PFSense for some of the packages that it offers. Its not like PFSense stresses the machine its running on anyways, even with my 50/10 connection.

[StormTiberius]

200$ ? :o man i am envious now :D :D all i know is that everything that has black box logo is not cheap by the least.

[ThePeaceMaker7]

Cool stuff. I use IPCOP on a Pentium II 300mhz machine, and it is plenty fast. I use Comcast as well, however, I am not using Docsis 3.0 as of yet.

[bluenetworker]

For Starters man, Excellent Rack and a bargain from what has been said.

I also like your Hardware you are running,

No need to have a fancy prancy monitor in your rack, most servers are managed through remote desktop or some sort of VNC software.

A recommendation though, you have this sexy rack, rackmount your servers. Get a Rackmountable case of the internet or something and stick the motherboards of your servers in there and rackmount them! I recommend 2U!

Also, NO Domain Controller?

[wpday07]

Man that is sweet well done, i wish i had a good rack like that

[dawgp0und]

That is a sweet rack. I did an internet search on the company and they are a very reputable company. Their products are high quality. for $200, that is a steal of the year. Keep up the good work. BTW what kind of screen resolution are you recording? Very quality recording. Recording resolution is good for low bandwidth connection. Anyways great network. Been watching your videos when your PfSense router had a floppy for the configuration file. LOL

Thanks

[Mildahp]

Vista is shit men..wake up

[Sticky1254]

I never had a problem with it and actually, for me, was faster than XP.

[crazylemon101]

LOL same Keyboard...and Gateway.

Cool maybe i should get another computer now..
