the power supply fan is not enough, most of the time they can't even keep the power supply it self at a adequate temp. The power supply fan is designed to get the heat out of the power supply not your case.

i agree with all that, and that is a great site, but line of site does not matter, becuase they are omnidirectional antennas, if it was a directional antenna line of site would matter.

what kinda router? that sounds like a problem with it, the 2.4ghz microwave signal will go though most things. except metal. and a few othere things.

yea, he is just creating hot pockets, there is no air flowing from the front to the back, to move the air, he is just reusing his hot air to cool something.

Rainstlin666 nothing against you or anything but, who ever told you that the range is like 75-100 feet was wrong, because wireless can go several hundred feet. if you house is made using wood studs, then it will go farther then if your house has steel studs or concrete walls. and if you put the router in or close to a window were alot of people place it then it will go 1500 feet with ease, because there is nothing in interfear. In a stardered home, it will go 200 feet no problem.

x_6985381 just a little heads up, you sould not put your motherboard on your carpet, like that. otherwise nice job, but like Swimmer said, if you get a case fan for the back it will make a bigger difference then that little fan.

Yes its the one i live in, and now i get $100 off my rent on a smaller scale, this is a very easy thing to do, for a home network all you need is a cheap PC http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8749374700&ssPageName=MERC_VI_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT and smoothwall http://www.smoothwall.org/ Smoothwall will do almost everything i am doing except the bandwidth managment. But has one of the best cache servers ever. and a very good firewall. If you can get it to work correctly, its a great tool. You don't need the nas, i have one here to offer alot of people a way to back up there files.

good find

The main office has something very close to this, (we just don't have the 2 1000mbps conectors) http://www.netgear.com/products/details/FSM726.php Then each of the 17 buildings has another one in it, that connects to the main office, each apt. has a eathernet port in it, that people can eather plug there computer into directly, or plug a router in to it. Basically Swimmer we are just daisy chaining switches togeather, but i did not build that part, the switch system was set up about 8 months before i moved in. It seems to work good though. I am going to get rid of the firewall once i get my old pentium 200mhz up and running with smoothwall correctly, then the linksys router and linksys firewall will be gone. There is 1 switch per biulding 18 in all, i am using softperfice bandwidth manager to limit and manage the bandwidth depending on the server load and the # of users online. Im also using SoftPerfec Traffic Meter to find out how many users are online, and who is using the most bandwidth, and then SoftPerfect Network Protocol Analyzer, to find out what the traffic is, so i can block traffic to a specific user name, ( a perental control) to make the internet faster for everyone, im using a cache proxy server, with 20gb of cache space. In a few weeks when i have more time i am going to setup a email server program on the server, so i can block spam, and email viruses. any othere questions.

I thought they stoped supporting windows 98 about a year ago.

mine is kinda setup that way thought with bandwidth , if there is 50 or less users downloading files it will go at 400-500kB/s if there is more then 50 at one time it will go at 200-300kB/s download

OK ill do it, Im gonna download everything to night and upload it tommarow when i have a faster connection.

the apartment that i live it has about 1200 units in it, and about 430 of them are served by the complexes provided internet, about another 300 are served by bellsouth, and the rest eather don't have internet or have the our crappy cable provider. I was in the office about 2 weeks ago, droping off the rent and there were about 4 people complaning about the internet that they provide. The complex has a dedicated 10/3Mbps connection, but at around 6-11pm speeds are like 30-50Kbps, and these people pay $30 a month extra for internet. So i told the owner that i could make the internet faster for everyone for only about $200. and this is what I came up with. Click to make bigger #1 is a Dell Optiplex GX110 : $30 #2 is a old linksys firewall : $Free #3 Is a Linksys WRT54G : $50 #4 is a Netgear NAS w/ 160GB HD : $110 The computer i got off ebay for only $30 it is a Pentium 3 667MHz 384MB of Ram 30 GB HD. I loaded this with Windows Advance Server 2000, and softperfect Bandwidth manager, i set it up with a set of about 30 rules, so it distributes the bandwidth evenly depending on the time of day and how many users are online, i also have it set to not allow any 1 user download more then 500mb in 1 hour. This also has a 20GB web cache, so downloads are much faster. I used a old linksys firewall that i had with a new linksys wrt54g router to protect users distribute the internet. I bought a netgear SC 101 NAS with 2 80GB harddrives as network storage, each user gets 250mb of remote storage. With all this ive taken the internet speeds from this: :::..

If cable has no problem with it, ill uploded them to my server, just some one make a list of the programs that should be there.

this could be a good idea, to offer programs that help people out, if ca3le wants to do it, I will host the files, and take care of the bandwidth.

i get about 3 a day, I can spot them right away, because they never address you by your name, just hello paypal user

the celeron D is not a bad chip. its much better then the sempron

I know i should not keep more then $50 in there at one time, but i kinda have to, i do alot of deals and buy and sell alot on ebay, so i have about 1000-1500 transfering each day, but i do have the 4th level of verification with paypal, so i get insurance, if any amount is stolen i get 100% of it back. I just wish google would start there paypal killer.

thanks for the heads up, i got alot in my paypal account, don't wana loose it.

5000 is still less then you would pay if you went to falcon-NW or alieanware, if you went to Voodoo PC's that would be about 6000

dell has been building some real nice systems lately. I wish i could afford this one.

like i said when this topic was originally posted, STEELERS

WMA at 320Kbps is the way to go, it sounds great and works on most players. But if i had the space i would rip everything i had into a lossless audio format.

mine goes on in the morning, or when i get home from work and then it goes off when i go to sleep.

:haha:
