Yep, hooked in the TV card, except it gives no sound on the PC, does with the TV though =)

Going to get some cable ties for the wires though.

Note the whiskey glass. A tender eighteen years of age and already a hardened drinker. Youth huh.

It looks very pale to be whiskey

Looks like water to me...or vodka

Heres my setup in my attic office, yes it is always that tidy!

The first is of my Acer laptop with a LG screen plugged in for extra workspace.

The second is from left to right, on the floor, linux server, D-Link Di-614+, spare monitor & keyboard for repairing other PCs, Smart UPS 1400, old dual P3 PC, and on top is Laserjet 2100 and Deskjet 720C, I got the UPS and Laserjet free

I also have another UPS that the laptop and linux server is running off under the desk, I take the laptop battery out to prolong its life.

The third is my Proliant server, currently setup with a Windows SBS 2003 and 3x Windows 2003 Enterprise with Exchange 2003 Cluster, running on top of VMWare ESX server.

It's an ML350 G2 2x1.4GHz P3s, 1.4GB RAM, dual PSUs, 3x18.2Gb 15,000 hotplug drives attached to a Smartarray 532 in raid 5, a Compaq Remote Lights Out board and a DDS4 tape drive. Not the fastest of servers but its good enough to run as a testing system.

Heh - first time I've seen anyone using a G2! We sell the G2/G3/G4/G4P ML350s at work - along with the APC UPSs (1000-1500). Never thought I'd see an individual using any such kit.

Yeah, we had a few lying round a work, we sell Proliants to our clients as well, mainly ML370 and a few rack versions.

It does make a bit of noise which is why its in the spare room, but I have considered moving it to the cellar, however I would need a wireless bridge of some kind. It could go anywhere, its fully remotely controlable, so long as there is power and network.

Heh - they're best on startup. Had a fair few customers (female) let out a scream when they push the power button ("Look for a big grey thing - where you put your backup tapes... 'Bout halfway up - push the button on the far right..." <loud roar> <loud scream>) We have a few customers with ML370s - few and far between though.

Have you heard the new DL380 G5 startup, thats noisy, and if you pull a hot plug fan out all the rest double their RPM and the front display shows a red led where the fan's been removed. Sadly that one has gone to a rack now so I can't record it.

The G4s are just as noisy but don't seem to have fan speed control, the last one we build had to be put in an empty room while it was configured.

Not all 18-year olds drink alcohol - but it is rather hard to find the ones who don't
