But on the other hand this weekend I'll spend a lot of my weekend installing Windows 2008 R2 server on a box and then putting VMware's Vsphere 4.0 on it then installing a bunch of linux OS flavors in the VM's. My Linux skills suck and I need to improve that part of my skill set. |
sweet rig
under a grand with 25" nice job |
Thanks guys.
I haven't had/build me a top of the line machine since 1998 when Pentium II MMX were the bad ass thing :D My desktop had been a Pentium 4 2ghz with 1gb ram and onboard video that is now retiring to be my ampache / torrentflux server so needless to say i was over due for an upgrade esp. since I am a huge nerd. I added 3 more case fans with blue LEDs just for shits and giggles and i'm not sure what to do next. @BRC let me know if you have any linux questions id do my best to help ya out if you needed it. |
