[Did Anyone Get A Raspberry Pi?]

My Back Order was 36 days - Now 66 :(

Would like to see the Hak.5 team start a few projects with it :D

[xbox live]

Ermm... what? "cool hack" like what?

xell - linux or homebrew pic pic2

or xbr / freeboot for the best best of both worlds.

[Episode 6x18]

Hey, what is the address for that site that does the wpa cracking?!?!

http://www.wpacracker.com/index.html

Interesting - But still waiting for the 2nd part to the Hak5 cluster.

/bit off topic - Anyone tried this ps3 external accelerator encoder. http://codecsys.fixstars.com/en/personal/

[December Desktops]

Nothing special - Fresh install - but found the background pic appropriate considering the hardware its running on.

[Hak.5 Folding@home]

Is there a PPC Folding@home client - running Ubuntu 7.10

and will need very detailed instructions - linux noob.

[Just got an XBOX360, any recommendations?]

NewXell.bin - but guessing ya box is to new - for now.

[Episode 5x19]

Not a white box yet, but getting there

The original idea when Hak5 started on ESXi was to replace the old dual AMD MP win xp file server and a 733 p3 SME 7.4 - combine both.

Had most of the gear to setup a dual core opteron system - just MB and raid card needed.

This test mess was fine until you started talking about iscsi / nic teaming / maybe fibre. ( care to do more of a show on them - hint ) Need more slots / ports.

The soon to be - maybe boxed - most parts from ebay and not all here yet.

Supermicro X7DAE $51 ( got 2 but the other was $128.50 )

ide to cf $2 - had the 8Gb cf.

4GB DDR2 $89 - add more when i know it all works.

Xeon's - with luck - $300-$400 each.

LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8X $122.50 - the sata backplane, found while looking for raid cards - $22 each - the inner nerd could not resist all the LED's.

HD's - 1TB $110/$130 each x 4 or 8.

and yes - still need to find a case.

All Prices in Australian Monopoly Money.

Wish me luck.

Edit - anyone try vSMP Foundation.

[Episode 5x16]

Yep - VM info is good timing, updating my home server PC from 2 to one with it.

in case like me you only have is an IDE drive on hand for testing - found this - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/ESXi_inst...o_IDE_drive.php

and if your network/storage controller is not supported there maybe a work around - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3.5/Whitebox..._ESX_3.5_3i.htm - LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8X now works thanks to that guide.

The big question. 2TB limit. Hear bad things about using Extents. Is there any other way to do it?

EDIT: last week you talked of using a DOM - would a CF to IDE work just as well, or just kill the CF?

[Episode 5x02]

Just a suggestion,

Use a Mini-ITX ( cheap as now ) board mounted on the tank - connect via wifi.

will give you more ports ( printer / usb ) / control options.

Cheers.

[Hak5 Beowulf Cluster]

Started on my cluster - got the idea from the mini-itx one.

Won't be the fastest thing - more to learn / play with.

Will be a 10 way - more if i can get the boards - cost $10 each.

[Episode 4x12]

Will there be anymore show's on DIY clusters.

- Off topic - is there such a thing as Networked SMP - yes, I know I'm dreaming.
