the fire hazard is only part of your imagination. the cables and what not was just there as part of the setup process.

| You have to pay for power for all that stuff. I mean its fun to learn and all, but it gets expensive (and loud) to have all that rack mount gear at home.
I used to be that way when I worked help desk, but I now have enough servers at work to keep me busy constantly that I don't really want to maintain more at home.
I have thought about getting 1 box and virtualizing a bunch of stuff as a testbed.
But really, why run such a power hungry and old server? We're decommissioning servers newer than that at work right now due to power usage. That is so much electricity for a small number of mhz. We virtualize 10 of those on a single box right now.
It just isn't worth running old servers anymore. |

the only issue is the price point to entry. i used to have a lot of boxen because its all i could ever afford. once i managed to glean something that could run esxi on the cheap, i was in business. have one dl360g5 running all of my vms. managed to upgrade the hdd's on the 360 so i could remove my openfiler target. much smoother and removed about $40/month from my bill after everything was virtualized.

If you're going to run all of those services on one box just run SBS 2008 or SBS 2003. |
