I bought a used rackmount server the other day on impulse. I’ve been parting out other machines that I’ve come across to get the system operational.

It currently has a 60 gig IDE hard drive, a 9 gig SCSI hard drive, two ethernet cards, 128mb of RAM, and 2 PIII processors clocked at 533MHZ. It’s old, but it will be good enough for what I need it for – storage or make it my web server.

I know I have some RAM laying around that I’ll throw in it to speed things up a bit – and I might either buy or put another IDE hard drive in it – if the power supply will allow for it.

If someone is throwing away a rack, please let me know. I don’t have too much money to spend so I’m looking for donations.

I’m in the process of installing Ubuntu Server Edition on it – the easiest server distro out there. It’s actually turning out to be a fun project.

Have fun,
Kevin
