AnandTech Gaming Server Updated 6/16

Maybe buying some refurbished parts can help out too. Just an idea, I'll look around for some refurbished deals.

go to office max next week and get a 40gb HD for FAR after coupon . should be useful for some stuff

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Is anything happening with this? Or has it just completely died out, maybe if some of the staff members wanted to help out, I'm sure we could get one going easily.

I picked up a couple of the 40 gigers, I am trying to put together what I have right now when I get a complete server I'll post another update. right now I'm going to set up some temporary hosting just so we have somthing.

 

[bgeh]

so, any new updates?

 

[narzy]

well I got a working and installed server (without a case) running on a barrowed power supply but it works, I'm working with it making it as secure as possible, its running a copy of windows 2003 server that I picked up at the windows 2k3 launch event. I have a UT server installed on it right now and am working on others. as soon as I am confident that its secure I'm going to stick it up my cable modem and give her a wirl in the real world.

Cable modem? Thats only temporary, right? What kind of connection will it be on after that?

6 up 6 down mbits

Nice connection, that'll do gvery well. How did you get such a nice connection on a cable modem? None of the providers here give more than 384kbps upstream and 1mbit downstream.

 

[narzy]

I don't thats where its getting colocated.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Ah, I see. Nice!

When will that happen? Once you get it working and we get some exposure like in the Off Topic section, this can really go somewhere.

 

[oLLie]

That's what I was thinking. This needs exposure in Off Topic or For Sale / For Trade

 

[narzy]

well, it WAS working, it's been tanking it on me today, I think its eather the UT server, or the BF1942 server demons that are running. trouble shooting now...

 

[jaybert]

well, if you find some stuff that can run on freebsd (bf1942 doesnt apparently), my box is still available. All those oc3's going to waste.....they're just waiting to be used!

 

[narzy]

jaybert, I'm looking in to it, I had a similar offer, had them all green light it, but it fell through, I think they will do it again but I have to propose it, which is about 2 hours worth of work for me, no biggie its on my list .

 

[jaybert]

i have no idea what you're talking about, maybe you have my box confused with someone elses

this is my personal box. All I need is someone who can setup the server, and I can give em a shell on it, and let them set it up.

The specs of the box are: thunderbird 800mhz, 512mb ram running freebsd. The specs arent that great, but not much really runs on it. I basically just use it as a personal webserver

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the best part. Its co-located in a datacenter in Dallas, running on multi-homed oc3s.

My friends over at http://www.gamedaemons.net host the box for me as a favor.

/me feels sooo stoopid

sorry, too many projects might hit you up on it here shortly, just to make these ATers who've been wating for ever some action until I can afford to finish the box. .

 

[jaybert]

sounds good to me. just PM me or whatnot

What else is needed to get it up and running?

 

[narzy]

me to be in town. I'm going to do a review here in a few days, sorry I've been lacking on this guys, I've had to deal with some pretty heavy family issues that has taken much of my time.
