definitely looks way easier than trying to keep the wires in the right order while sliding them into the jack.
i'll have to pick some of those up when i get some more wire.

After repeatedly bashing my face on the wall called LDAP, I finally got it to work and I almost don't believe it. There is no smiley in the world that can show how smug I'm feeling right now.
The domain is completely internal, so don't bother doing a DNS lookup -- it doesn't exist. I set this up in pfSense to point to my test server. I'm using TLS for encryption, which was one big headache. Self signed certificates suck.
Next on the list is to create another vm client and have it try to authenticate to it. I knock one brick wall down to find another behind it.

Figured I'd re-terminate all the cables and picked up these things to make it easier
I shopped local for the rack-mount 1500va 2U UPS that I purchased, they said they could get me batteries at $30 per (needed 4), but they couldn't get them till February. this was in early December.
What is the goal of this server overkill? Are you going to host?

been following this for awhile now probably since the beginning. it's getting me wanting to either get a rack or build one to put all my stuff in.
don't got it all hooked up right now. waiting till i can put it in a room by itself or a basement.
for a server i got
dell poweredge 2800 with 2 3.4ghz cpu's 9gb of ram. (only bad thing is it weighs a ton)
3com corebuilder 3500 i saved from my friends neighbor. (he was throwing a bunch of stuff out so i went dumpster diving. he had a big rolloff dumpster)

Thiddy's an inspiration and resource to us all. I have a rack as well with some very similar hardware to Thideras, at least 3 of my boxes (the three are sossaman dual chip dual core 2ghz boxes) are like some of his anyway. Half the stuff i've gotten were because he reccomended them and it turned out to be the best option we were aware of then.

I use the same box too. Half the stuff I've done with my server has come from ideas out of this thread or from words thideras typed at me.
It's fun

Same here.
I am currently looking to replace my power hungry/space heater dual 3.2Ghz P4/HT server board. Not a great deal of deals on ebay over here in the UK at the moment though
