Hardware

Most of the hardware below is stuff I have gotten from people that don't know what to do with their old systems. Luckily I was there when it happened ... ;-)

LAN

Computers evenly spread across my cramped appartment ...

Host	CPU	RAM	Storage	Network	Operating System(s)	Comments
gw	Intel Pentium 4 1.6GHz	1GB	80GB, 2x80GB in RAID-1	2 x D-Link DGE-528T (1Gbps)	OpenBSD 4.5/i386	Router (PF), HTTP, DNS, SMTP, IMAP, NTP ...
fs	Intel Dual-Core E5200 2.5GHz	2GB	40GB, 3x500GB in RAID-5	D-Link DGE-528T (1Gbps)	OpenBSD 4.6/i386	Fileserver (NFS and Samba), CVS
ws	Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz	4GB	320GB	Attansic L1 (1Gbps), D-Link DGE-528T (1Gbps)	Windows 7, Arch Linux, OpenBSD-current/amd64	Workstation (Desktop)
tv	AMD Athlon XP 1800+	512MB	250GB, 500GB	Intel 82541PI (1Gbps)	Ubuntu 9.04	I love this chassis. Pure simplicity. ~500 movies, all illegally obtained of course (give me a better alternative and I'll pay). Connected to my 40" LCD Samsung TV and a cheapo 5.1 audio system.
hack	AMD Athlon XP 1800+	512MB	4GB, 10GB, 4GB	100Mbps	OpenBSD-current/i386, NetBSD, FreeBSD	Test machine; snapshots, diffs, OSs, etc.
wind	MSI Wind U-100 (Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz)	2GB	160GB	100Mbps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth	Windows XP, Ubuntu 9.04, OpenBSD-current/i386	Ultra cool netbook for use on the road. My only complaint is the idiotic placement of the Fn key.

Cluster-1

My first attempt at some sort of cluster ... (I had to use the hardware for something)

cn1 has a stupid Compaq motherboard that won't boot without a keyboard or display adapter present (unlike cn2 and cn3). Oh, and the power wiring (right image) is not my proudest moment ... ;-)

Cluster-2

(Work In Progress)

This time I'll use an ATX 20-pin connector from a broken motherboard that the PSU will connect to, rather than cutting the PSU apart. The system at the top row will boot from a 2GB Compact Flash card using a CF->IDE adapter and the two other nodes will PXE boot from it. This will join Cluster-1 for a 6-node cluster that I've no idea what to do with (yet) ;-)
