amdprophet: man this thing is QUIET
30w, nice
i'm guessing that'd be even less in the UK on 230v :)
well let's see...
hehe nice
which o/s?
bob^^: i think it'd still be 30W, just less current used (amps)
bob^^: so less dissipation, and in that sense, a bit less power
yeah
nice little box, ideal with the CF :D
au: trying various OS's
:) not windows I hope
bob^^: yeah, the CF is nice, but disk I/O kinda blows; guess i shouldn't expect much, it's CF after all...
au: not windows :)
great
yeah, the bottleneck will definitely be the CF card itself :)
perfect for a little monitoring server though
how much was that up_the_irons?
I need to replace my home server, it's a 1u 2x xeon 2.8, 4gb ram and 2x 74gb (or 73gb?) scsi hd
very good server, but uses too much power
interested in these atom servers
bob^^: order the CF/SATA converter, which says 150 Mbps (so 18.75 MB/s), even though the CF card is a 266x high speed card, which is rated at 40 MB/s
au: $269 shipped: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101262
au: just add ram and your choice of HD
ooh
bargain
au: bet your Xeon is 110W TDP.  This Atom is 8W TDP ;)
not sure, they're basically p4's
do newegg ship to .au?
au: no idea
hm okay :)
that is a good price
i bet in the UK that's £269
normally how it works for us :(
:/
cheaper here: http://www.provantage.com/supermicro-sys-5015a-h~7SUP91AQ.htm
gah they don't
au: what about provantage?
http://www.priceusa.com.au/
hm loading that pge now
hm they ship here
great
cool!
rackmounts, etc have preassembled supermicro servers with max RAM and 500GB(?) HDD for $300
(atom)
That's cheap
nenolod: lol, when did you get here? ;)
up_the_irons: Shouldn't you go to bed, btw? Isn't it kinda late (early?) over there? :P
You're kinda in the wrong time zone
it's 3AM in california
exaftly. It's 12 here :D
exactly*
I'm considering going to school
dxtr: i already slept some; then woke up and wanted to play with my atom :)
I got an atom box as a router
:)
But I think I need to replace is because I want it fanless or something
it*
i'm thinking of getting an atom machine to replace my old celeron home server
Gah. Can't type
which uses loads of power
bob^^: i bet
dxtr: can an atom be fanless?
up_the_irons: yep
I've seen lots of fanless atom setups :9
:)
dxtr: nice
BUT! I wouldn't do it with any atom board
;)
For example the one I've got (Intel D-something-something-something) the north bridge (is it called that in english?) gets really hot
I mean..  Like.. You can fry eggs on it
So I need a fan on that one. But I haven't got a fan or something on the CPU
yeah - i've seen boards where the d945 chipset has a fan, but the atom doesn't (just a big passive heatsink)
the chipset used to use more power than the atom, i think there's a new chipset now though :)
up_the_irons, a while ago.
D945GCLF2
That's the one I've got
according to sysctl -a in obsd
yeah, i think that's the 'hot' one :)
up_the_irons, i was going to get an arp networks vps but then i moved my fremont stuff to LA instead because Hurricane was having problems keeping their power distribution system from catching on fire
I friggin' Love openbsd. Might not be the most performing OS but it's rock solid and just plain awesome
It's real love I'm talking about. I'm going to marry obsd
i'll stick with debian :p
:(
:(
it's gotta be *bsd
I use freebsd on the vps and that's awesome too
nenolod: LOL, catching on fire?  wow
i'm freebsd pretty much everywhere :)
bob^^: I don't use freebsd on my router :)
I use obsd there
bob^^, debian is more useful to me given the amount of infrastructure i have
i've got a netscreen at home for that ;)
I got an atom box \o
used to use freebsd for it though, always worked great :D
Hehe
Anyhow. I'm going to school now (I think)
Unless I turn around on the way there
Bye!
had to bounce eth0 on the atom cuz my ping flood seems to have killed something;  bum rtl8169
shucks, too bad
ugh, realtek
any pci headers for a decent nic? :)
yeah.. i can put 1 PCI-E (x4 or x8) card in
nice
need a riser though
then i can put in an intel dual port ET
which costs half as much as the box itself ;)
http://www.news.com.au/technology/microsoft-accused-of-52c-an-hour-slaves/story-e6frfro0-1225854187905 heh
worth it though up_the_irons :)
yeah :)
hiya up_the_irons :) I do believe your the boss man. I would like to order a FreeBSD vps, is there a wait time at the moment?
you're*
aem: no wait besides the regular 24 hours
okey dokey
I will place the order now
aem: great :)
up_the_irons, yes.  on fire.
up_the_irons, twice.  then we found out the HE reseller we were using was bankrupt.
up_the_irons, which really made things interesting.
nenolod: oh jeez
sounds very interesting indeed
by interesting, i mean rather annoying.
for sure
hello, anyone working for support at arpnetwork here now ?
I do not work for ARP Network. What is your question?
oh , my request was to get a management console account, becoz i was dumb enough to lock myself out of my openbsd vm by not adding myself to the wheel group and can't su - anymore
i haven't heard back from anyone yet so i was following up with some one to see if i could get a status update
**some here
Did you email support@ with your SSH public key?
yes i did
up_the_irons is in charge of that and, depending on time of day, he may be busy. Sorry.
cool
opssysarch should just hit VNC...
up_the_irons: honestly. My SSH key isn't working to the management console thing
I think :p
At least I can't conect
connect
I'm using PuTTY
dxtr: you should post your error
and use verbose mode
usually it's -vvv
i don't know about putty though
