remote boot anyone?

[cakin]

OK, I'm home for the week, what can I break? no DASM conventions next week!

Where should I start....

I've got Baldy18 and Pazoo climbing up my backside in the race to 9000.
I can order 3 XP1800's in the morning in hopes of holding them off, but what should I put them in?
Has anyone gotten the K7S5A to do that remote boot yet? Will the 8KHA+ do a remote boot?
I've already downloaded the K12LTSP install CD's which supports remote boot.

I am open for suggestions.

I'd also like a couple.😛

I'd hardly say I'm breathing down you back but I'm glad you see it that way.😉

Office Depot sells a file cube/crate that looks like the old-timey milk crate for $6.95 ($5.00 on sale.) They stack very nicely and I've used them with tie-wraps to install SETI crunchers. I turn them on their side and mounted the Mobo with the connections to the front. I used a 340 MB HD with that setup and it worked great for Win98SE. No floopy or CD-ROM needed after installation. The problem I ran into was finding cheap, but workable PS units. It ended up being about as cheap to buy a case with PS as it was to find just the PS. So, I got away from the milk creates. But, with a mobo with everything built in you could actually mount 2 of them in one crate and there has been talk on this forum about using one PS to power two computers.

Good luck!!
