people are afraid of what they don't understand.

i figured his reasoning for using the SFF dell was to keep power use down.

that Dell SX280 can only take a max of 2gb

i'll have to give MySQL another look. always looking to learn new things. i just like to re-purpose the crap out of everything until something else comes along. i had a SFF optiplex gx620 i used for watching videos on my tv, the only real thing it was good for was a space heater. gave that one to my sister.

yeah that's pretty much what i figured. probably just let it sit in the garage till i forget about it.

well iv'e had this machine sitting on a shelf for years. ever since i got into building pc's and the fact that this thing is ancient (still uses pc-133 ram). forget what cpu it has in it maybe a 1.8ghz with 768mb ram. i know it's not worth anything and selling it is not really an option as i wouldn't get much if anything from it. i'm gonna pick up a kill-a-watt thing to measure how much it pulls from the wall and i guess from there i can decide if it get's turned into a router/firewall. any other possible uses for it guys?

when i bought my alfa last year it came with a 5dbi and a 9dbi antenna. same antenna that came with my alfa. http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-Screw-Swivel-Antenna-Linksys/dp/B003RV4AYQ i've been using the 9dbi one and it does a good job picking up signals i wouldn't otherwise see.

i planned on drilling and tapping the metal plate in the middle and mounting the tripod to that. most of the tripods have a little quick release clip that pops off and then you screw that to the camera and mount the whole thing to the tripod. the one i bought looks like it's all one piece but even with that i have a bigger tripod i bought for my camera a few years back.

yep sure looks like the same one. i found this site through google shopping search for "16dBi Yagi Antenna" before they started selling them at the hak5 store. http://www.suntekstore.com/goods.php?id=10010009&utm_source=gbus&utm_campaign=gbus tripod this one seems to be a generic tripod not tied to any type of camera http://www.suntekstore.com/goods-10002025-Mini+Extendable+Tripod+59+to+83+inch+-+Silver.html search with the term "tripod" there are more tripods like the one i got but they seem to be tied to camera brands. http://www.suntekstore.com/search.php?encode=YTozOntzOjg6ImNhdGVnb3J5IjtzOjE6IjAiO3M6ODoia2V5d29yZHMiO3M6NjoidHJpcG9kIjtzOjE4OiJzZWFyY2hfZW5jb2RlX3RpbWUiO2k6MTMyMzE4MDMyMjt9 i'll probably go the drill and tap route to mount the tripod to the bracket on the antenna. EDIT this is the alfa setup i bought last year http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-802-11b-Wireless-Original-9dBi/dp/B001O9X9EU/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323180817&sr=1-7

since the yagi's are out of stock in the hack5 store i found somewhere else to order from and got a cheap $4 camera tripod to go with it. i'll try it out on the alfa i already have when the antenna gets here. i have the standard 9dbi antenna that came with the alfa i have been using. works pretty good.

Actually rather than using a full blown pc for this i was thinking of picking up one of those tiny atom/apu based pc's. something you could throw a couple gigabit nic;s in. the only thing other than the old dfi board i got is some hot ass P4's. i was messing around with clear os the other day on a sff dell i got but being that it's got a P4 520 it acts more like a space heater.

i think by scanning the device means going through the x-ray scanner to see if you made an ordinary laptop into a bomb not actually scanning the data drives.

Dan and Darren summed it up pretty good. love the HakTips. short and sweet yet providing a lot of good information.
-
that's very interesting

i couldn't get a pic but i cleaned one that came from an industrious environment and it had that thick black dust all inside it. after i was done my hands looked like i just got done working on a car.

if you want to use a rackmount server look into the poweredge 2650's. they are 2u in size and most of the ones i looked at on ebay come with 2x xeon cpu's and most have 2gb-4gb ram for under $100 shipped. scout around enough you can find one loaded with drives essentially ready to run for a reasonable price. throw whatever OS you want on it and your good to go. the 2650's have dual gigabit nic's and all of the ones i looked at have 2 psu's.

watched it the other day and even being the first episode i like it so far.
