amdprophet: man this thing is QUIET
bob^^: 30w, nice
i'm guessing that'd be even less in the UK on 230v :)
up_the_irons: well let's see...
au: hehe nice
which o/s?
up_the_irons: 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
bob^^: yeah
nice little box, ideal with the CF :D
up_the_irons: au: trying various OS's
au: :) not windows I hope
up_the_irons: 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 :)
au: great
bob^^: yeah, the bottleneck will definitely be the CF card itself :)
perfect for a little monitoring server though
au: 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
up_the_irons: 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
au: ooh
bargain
up_the_irons: au: bet your Xeon is 110W TDP. This Atom is 8W TDP ;)
au: not sure, they're basically p4's
do newegg ship to .au?
up_the_irons: au: no idea
au: hm okay :)
bob^^: that is a good price
i bet in the UK that's £269
normally how it works for us :(
au: :/
up_the_irons: cheaper here: http://www.provantage.com/supermicro-sys-5015a-h~7SUP91AQ.htm
au: gah they don't
up_the_irons: au: what about provantage?
au: http://www.priceusa.com.au/
hm loading that pge now
hm they ship here
great
up_the_irons: cool!
nenolod: rackmounts, etc have preassembled supermicro servers with max RAM and 500GB(?) HDD for $300
(atom)
dxtr: That's cheap
up_the_irons: nenolod: lol, when did you get here? ;)
dxtr: 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
nenolod: it's 3AM in california
dxtr: exaftly. It's 12 here :D
exactly*
I'm considering going to school
up_the_irons: dxtr: i already slept some; then woke up and wanted to play with my atom :)
dxtr: I got an atom box as a router
:)
But I think I need to replace is because I want it fanless or something
it*
bob^^: i'm thinking of getting an atom machine to replace my old celeron home server
dxtr: Gah. Can't type
bob^^: which uses loads of power
up_the_irons: bob^^: i bet
dxtr: can an atom be fanless?
dxtr: up_the_irons: yep
I've seen lots of fanless atom setups :9
:)
up_the_irons: dxtr: nice
-: up_the_irons ponders disconnecting the fan header...
dxtr: BUT! I wouldn't do it with any atom board
-: up_the_irons stops
up_the_irons: ;)
dxtr: 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
bob^^: 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 :)
nenolod: up_the_irons, a while ago.
dxtr: D945GCLF2
That's the one I've got
according to sysctl -a in obsd
bob^^: yeah, i think that's the 'hot' one :)
nenolod: 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
dxtr: 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
nenolod: i'll stick with debian :p
dxtr: :(
bob^^: :(
it's gotta be *bsd
dxtr: I use freebsd on the vps and that's awesome too
up_the_irons: nenolod: LOL, catching on fire? wow
bob^^: i'm freebsd pretty much everywhere :)
dxtr: bob^^: I don't use freebsd on my router :)
I use obsd there
nenolod: bob^^, debian is more useful to me given the amount of infrastructure i have
bob^^: i've got a netscreen at home for that ;)
dxtr: I got an atom box o
bob^^: used to use freebsd for it though, always worked great :D
dxtr: Hehe
Anyhow. I'm going to school now (I think)
Unless I turn around on the way there
Bye!
up_the_irons: had to bounce eth0 on the atom cuz my ping flood seems to have killed something; bum rtl8169
shucks, too bad
bob^^: ugh, realtek
any pci headers for a decent nic? :)
up_the_irons: yeah.. i can put 1 PCI-E (x4 or x8) card in
bob^^: nice
up_the_irons: need a riser though
then i can put in an intel dual port ET
which costs half as much as the box itself ;)
au: http://www.news.com.au/technology/microsoft-accused-of-52c-an-hour-slaves/story-e6frfro0-1225854187905 heh
bob^^: worth it though up_the_irons :)
up_the_irons: yeah :)
aem: 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*
up_the_irons: aem: no wait besides the regular 24 hours
aem: okey dokey
I will place the order now
up_the_irons: aem: great :)
nenolod: 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.
up_the_irons: nenolod: oh jeez
sounds very interesting indeed
nenolod: by interesting, i mean rather annoying.
up_the_irons: for sure

mike-burns: I do not work for ARP Network. What is your question?
opssysarch: 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
mike-burns: Did you email support@ with your SSH public key?
opssysarch: yes i did
mike-burns: up_the_irons is in charge of that and, depending on time of day, he may be busy. Sorry.
opssysarch: cool
