Home Server

well today is the day i get most of my 2nd hand/new parts for my servers today, i cant wait to be playing around with linux remotly, its costing me around 120 for 2-3 servers, depends on how i use the parts tbh, as my sister needs a new pc, so she might end up with an amd socket 754 while i use socket A for the servers. linux itself is great for this sorta stuff, anything you want to do can be done on linux, as its openware, there is a massive community behind it. A couple of people on matchbox are also interested how this turns out, so i will have to show them how it turns out.

and if you are wondering why socket A, its simple, it is dirt cheap to get the parts. I have around 4 socket a mobos that i can choose from, and 1 socket 754, ill probs end up with 2 boards spare that i will give a clean and a test, and then sell them back at a small profit, which is reasonable i think, as i bought 3 mobos for under £30, thats including P+p via royal pain. will update with pics and more notes on how the builds go

update 1: pic of the case and the inside so far (not alot in it atm)
