Home network, home server room and...

[ladymuck]

I have:
1 x Win2003 server running IIS and Exchange 2003
1 x Win2003 server running as file & print server
1 x XP Pro PC for games, work, etc, etc
1 x Toshiba Portege laptop, wireless, for on the road things
1 x XP Pro PC, wireless, rigged up to the TV/my stereo for recording music, tv, etc

All running on a gigabit network (except the wireless bits to the lappy and the TV PC).

Oh and I have a couple more PC's in bits that I'm not sure what to do with at the moment. One of them will replace my aging file server.

I have some mid-ranged Proline thing that cools the room for 3 servers, 1 PC and a laptop.

Does OK but watch your electrickery bill...

Monkeeeeeeee,

the cupboard under the stairs is my situation, my fear being it will get too hot there, but from your feedback a few pc's should not be a problem.

Owl,

it has been so long, I've forgotten what FTV stands for !!

I use an FTV punkawhalla, who flaps a large sheet with string tied to his big toe.

Freon gas I think.

I have a couple of Sun Ultra 30s and some generic PCs chucked in the cupboard under the stairs. They get quite hot but don't ever die. They also keep the landing carpet nice and warm.

I open the door on a really hot day.

Aren't Crays water-cooled anyway?

[Churchill]

Ask Threaded what he uses to keep his Cray cool.

Servers

I have a big PC which I use as a server,gateway etc and I have a laptop.

As I live in a small flat, I can use it for central heating in the winter.:-) (And this summer as well, considering the weather is so sh1te)

You may need an extra piece of kit if you have serious hardware at home
