Looks good, but needs more pics :b

Hmm, I'd like to wait till I get 2 more TB for some more pics

Four things dude:

1.) Awesome mousepad
2.) What do you want for that old Cooler Master Case?
3.) What are the uses of those older Dell Optis?
1a.) Awesome dog
4.) LOT OF DRIVES. How did you fit 3.5" drives into a 5.25" slot? I don't see any adapters!

Four answers man:

1.) Thanks, got it from here. http://www.overclock.net/online-deal...9-shipped.html
2.) It's just sitting here. Shipping would probably be a ton. I don't know.
3.) Basic network services for now. I don't use them for much. DHCP, DNS, DC etc.
1a.) Thanks

4.) Yessir. The CoolerMaster drive bay is a converter. Fits 4x 3.5"s into 3x 5.25"s. I plan to fill the case with 8x1TB's and 1x500 for OS.

Awesome.

Part 2:

2.) If you want to find out the cost of shipping I'll gladly pay it.
3.) Two of them? DHCP, DNS, TeamSpeak, HTTP, MySQL etc all run on my one server... Linux CLI w/ Celeron 336 2.8GHz and 2.5GB of RAM O_O.
4.) That's nifty. Makes use out of empty bays. Would be splended for my oldie Antec case, I gotta check 'em out, thanks.

EDIT: Take some time and dive into Linux. Don't be scared of the command line. Back when I was a noob with linux I just googled around for stuff I wanted to know, it's pretty easy to look up upon. Now look at me... Full on Linux geek and I didn't spend a day in college about it.

EDIT 2: Those two PIIIs operating in parallel would be SICK with linux as well. ... Linux Linux Linux is basically the point here xD. (Or, do the foremost and sell them off for $75 on craigslist and get your drives for your Tiny machine, and have one server do everything. Especially with those specs you aren't going to have any issues at all).

Anything you want to talk about just PM me or shoot me an IM with the links on my profile.

Part 3:

Its bad security practice to run internal servers (like DNS) with external servers (like HTTP) on the same machine.

I disagree. Some directories are encrypted and require passwords and yubikeys to access, and don't have specific access -- unlike Windows where everything is easy to navigate around everything if someone to get in. If your SSH port and keys are kept safe you're not going to have a problem. For example, say someone was to PHP-attack my HTTP server to try to get into my DNS/DHCP area it wouldn't work because HTTP is on a different directory and unencrypted whilst critical services like DNS and DHCP are on a separate partition and encrypted on a separate filesystem.

2.) I'll think about it, and get back to you

3.) Yea. Their only measly 900MHz, 256MB. I already gave 6 of them away. I'd like to keep 2 just for the sake of it

4.) Absolutely! They are nice

I did dive into about 5 different distros of Linux, as well as FreeNAS and OpenFiler. I'm still very noobish, but can work my way around with a little bit of exploration and Googling

.

Only thing is, I got a free copy of Server 2003 and 2008 through Dreamspark. If it wasn't for that, I would be using Linux right now. I may do some Linux on the P3's if I decide I don't need them the way they are anymore.

How about this. Lets say that there's some form on your website that allows for an SQL injection that you missed or something. They could easily make your SQL server grind away at your hard drive for the rest of the week, making accesses slow for the entire system.

And that's just a very simple attack

**metallicamaster3** · 05-01-09

Which is why my SQL system is completely protected with Anti-flood and anti-hack. Running at a random port number for one, and ban any IP that wants to do more than 500 injections in 10 minutes (my server isn't used mainstream on the web, only my own private uses, so SQL is barely used). Either way, even if I got DDoS it still doesn't compromise my DHCP and DNS

OP: Use the spare and install Ubuntu Server edition. Best for noobs, and even not for noobs (I use it and I will always use a Debian-based distro mainstream) and it's the best operating system to learn the basics on, IMO. Give it a shot
