/hsg/ home server general: house fire edition

This opteron server raises the temp of the room. I might have to get better cooling because currently I'm using 2 old fans I pulled out of an optiplex zip tied to some heatsinks.

Nope, can't do that. I already did my time running Prescott in the earlier days. No way.

I'm running an HP microserver because all it does is serving files anyway.

i got a 2500k powering my home storage server
runs cool as a whissle

Some advice if you don't have air conditioning:
>move your pc to a room with 2 windows
>get a box fan
>rig the box fan so it pulls air from the outside
>have the other window open
>have the door closed
The air gets displaced and the hot air gets pushed out. You can open the door if the house is cooler than the room temperature. I've done this all summer and it works well. Obviously it's best to have the fan on at night so temperatures are cooler, but check the weather if you're gonna run the fan all night. (Rain)

What's a good cheap laptop that I can make into a home file/media server?

for a bit I was running a shit Pentium d box. When I got home from work my room was at 87F.

mmm, Prescott.
Still have my old p4 in a box. Super toasty, but it got the job done.

Currently looking for an arm board/box with gigabit ethernet and USB 3.0 to run a seedbox, what does /g/ recommend?
