One year of servertude
October 20th, 2008 by thorburn(Yes the spelling is intentional)
Today marks one year of up-time for my venerable server. It sits in the spare room, four hard drives crammed into its mATX chassis, drawing about 80W and running the houses DHCP, MyMovies, uTorrent (for all the Linux ISO’s we download), and streaming music to my desktop, laptop and media centre.
When I originally built it I honestly didn’t think the nasty MSI 915GM board it runs on would last a week, so here’s to it and its surprising persistence.
The end may be nigh for it in the coming months however – a switch to a pair of 1TB hard drives (currently theres just a mish-mash of what I had spare at the time) and a Atom based ITX board (to save power) is very tempting.
