rolfea Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Wireless Router with 3 Pcs. two laptops and an archos tablet. Been thinking of building me a watercooled pc (as some of you know) and turning my PC into a File Server. The router is thrown out the window on a regular basis, due to it being a D-Link and rather useless.

tech_guy Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 At the last count, something like 9 PCs running OS's like Ubuntu, RedHat, Widows Whatever, with a Win2k3 server. Four Windows XP/ Vista laptops. An iMac. A macbook. 2 wireless networks (one internet facing, one closed). A mess of cat5e. And a whingeing wife who wonders why the electricity bill is so high
IanT Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 I was gonna say! how much is your electric bill hahah
jamesb Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 At the moment, none. Coming to an arrangement with a small business though where they'll pay my internet connection costs, and for a decent pipe, and in return I'll host and support a couple of low-profile servers for them. Don't know whether its going to go through yet or not, but here's hoping.
