It's intriguing stuff if you are a nerd. And it's super easy if you have a 1TB external HD, especially if it's firewire compatible. Although, I was working with two Sun Fire T2000s, and most people don't have access to that kinda hardware. The server is a beast. You can hear the fan from the basement in a regular house.Originally Posted by VIIheaven

I'm mad I was sort of intrigued by that. Nerdom ftl
We had it set up through the houses' home wireless routers. Had an old Cisco router dedicated to two of the T2000's, with a Dell (AMD processor, nice machine as well,) as the main HUD. Two failsafes.
Had about 100 gigs of DRAM between both of the servers. Set up was SICKKKKKKKK.

Depends on how your blu ray player is set up.
Post the make and model and go from there.

should have saved the 1188 you spent on both the TVs and got 1 that was better.

I didnt see the free shipping either, but ordered one too, since i missed out on the circuit city deal. Pretty much got it for a little cheaper if I were tobuy it in person. Now the waiting game. Thanks for the heads up

The Dynex looks like decent quality and the Samsung looks like great quality. For only $50 more, I got a bigger TV.
And getting 2 TVs was a necessity..so I think I did well. The Early Bird Specials are mad overrated though. I went to Best Buy at 5 a.m and the line was wrapped completely around the building. And it seems they had better deals when I went back later in the day (around 3 p.m.)

That sounds sexy but hearing the fan from the basement? That's insane. I've been messing around with the Mac OSX server at my job and thatstuff is confusing as hell. I got yelled at for ruining the school's homepage for about an hourOriginally Posted by soltheman

Isn't the M-OSX just like unix? Or based off of Unix? People are saying that it's uses in the IT field are gonna explode in the next few years. Idon't wanna believe it.
Did you know that Sun is letting people try their servers for 60-days with no charge, though? And after the 60 days, you can get the machine for 20%-40% off?

And oh yeah. I tried the fan thing. Turned it on, put my ear on the carpet, and I could hear the loud whine of the fan. Those machines will overheat in asecond if those things blow.

I hate getting caught up with something that I know is going to take a long time. I figure being in IT you have to be stubborn in order to learnfrom your mistakes and such. Anyway, the OSX server is just like Unix. I want to play with it some more but since my last... ahem, mishap, my school'sserver admin. says I'm not allowed to.Originally Posted by soltheman

Took us two days just for the switcher, and cluster installations are suppose to take a day. If that.Plus, we had to find out manually that someone had switched the stickers around on the ports of the T2000. Hours in terminal for something that took 5 seconds to fix. When we figured it out I was like.

@ the school thing, though. I remember I reset the password for one of the passwords on a computer at my old school. (Rewrote the SAM directories.) I almost got expelled. Then they promoted me.

As long as you're happy with your job, it's all cool. I'll be going to college for my BA in computer science next year. Nervous ashell.Originally Posted by VIIheaven

And oh yeah. I tried the fan thing. Turned it on, put my ear on the carpet, and I could hear the loud whine of the fan. Those machines will overheat in a second if those things blow.We've broken so many things I'm surprised me and my friends still have our job. But a lot of these computers, servers, etc. are nearly indestructable. I forgot the brand of the switch we use but we've dropped it a million times and out of like 30 ports, only 3 are dead.I want to get Cisco certs but I heard its insane the amount of studying you have to do. I don't have any certs to be honest, I just came up on this by accident and picked up along the way, I'm far from really knowing what I'm doing.
I hate long projects like a cluster set up, although it's not really all that hard when everything is already set up. But it never is.
But yeah, the Certs are like, 70 hour classes. But if you can get your place of work to pay for 'em, they're worth it in the future. Plus, theydon't stay with the company. They stay with you. In all honesty though, you have to be able to attend a seminar every 6 months or you'll have outdatedknowledge. I know people who worked on the AC-Delco servers back before the old parent company failed. All of them dudes were steady reading books. And not ITfor dummies stuff either. Like, 700 page volumes of ZeroCool status stuff.
