I'm going to be putting in some more HDD's when I get the money, and then setitng up a Server 2003 test lab/network so I can practice for my MCSA/MCSE classes and maybe even Server 2008 if I can get a copy from School. Exchange is a bitch on resources, so I'm hoping the ram and extra dedicated drives will help. I'm going to dedicate a separate HDD for each VM to increase performance. In school we have them all running off 1 HDD at the same time, and when booting Exchange, it takes almost 1 hour for all 3 VM's to come up all the way. If they had a drive for each VM like I suggested we wouldn't have that problem, so I am hoping to 1 up them at home to practice with AD, Domains, DNS and Exchange. I'm also going to be taking the Offsec PWB 3.0 http://www.offensive-security.com/blog/bac...ck-v-3-0-alive/ course and want some extra VM's for practicing to hack into from the BT side.

Hopefully this machine will be able to handle all that I am going to throw at it, with multiples of VM's running Server 2003, XP, Vista and BackTrack 4 all at the same time. The school machines are about the same specs, only they have 8GB of ram and a single HDD. I will probably upgrade the CPU to the Phenom II X4 at some point as well, but these parts we're for a project at school, and about the only thing I put into it so far that wasn't pre defined was the memory. All the other parts we're part of the schools budget kits for system builders, but they are pretty decent considering what they come with and its a step up from my last machine in every area except the CPU, which still wont be an issue with the VM's anyway.

I updated the refrigerator cabinet.

4315971876_801e6b331c.jpg

Got rid of the old hardware and replaced it with 2 HP Proliant DL145 servers. Ran two new circuits from the main panel in the house to power it. Need to get a UPS for the servers still.

Top box is the FreeNAS:SAMBA/RSYNC/secondary webserver

Bottom Box is my Pfsense: Firewall/captive portal/VPN/ClamAV/Proxy/Webserver - LAN/WAN/WIFI all segregated on the 3 internal nics

Nice!

Playing around with Windows Home Server in one of my storage server boxes.

I rented the apartment directly below mine to use as office space. This way I can leach off the 50Mbit internet and it makes for an easy commute. Excuse the mess and the bad quality, I used my phone to take these pictures.

Here is my Desk:

IMAGE_121.png

That is 6 22" dell lcd's

The left two screens are my Linux box (opensuse 11.1 32bit on core 2 e7300, 4gb ddr2 800, nvidia 7950GT)

The top middle and top right is my doze machine (xp sp3 32bit on quad core Q6600, 4gb ddr2 1066, ati HD 4850, 300GB WD Velociraptor)

The bottom middle and bottom right is my hackintosh (10.5.6 on core 2 e8500, 4gb ddr2 800, nvidia 8800GTX)

I run synergy to share the single keyboard and mouse with all 3 machines - it also shares my clipboard

(shares over network, you select which machine to control via mouse position, when you hit the edge of one monitor it will auto-switch to the next computer - very cool stuff http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/)

Keyboard is a Das Keyboard, 2nd gen, blank keys, mouse is a Logitech G9

Here is my 2nd desk, behind me

IMAGE_122.png

That is where I work on customer machines, in the picture is a customers Sony that I just reformatted. That is one of my laptops, its a travelmate 6292

Here is my business partners rig

IMAGE_126.png

One machine, 3 22" samsung LCD's, I don't recall his specs but I am pretty sure he spent around 5k on the hardware. He runs Vista sp1 32bit.

This is my administrative assistants desk - above it is our 50" samsung plasma flanked by Niles speakers, above the center channel is a Wii bar :)

IMAGE_125.png

Now for the rack:

IMAGE_124.png

From the top:

24 port D-link GB switch

Cable modem (comcast business class, 50mb down 10 mb up, no speed boost, no meter)

Cisco 1805 Router

Xbox 360, Wii

Yamaha RX-V663 A/V receiver

Panamax M5300-PM Power Center

Velocity Micro Media Center (win7 beta 32bit on Quad Q9550, 4GB DDR2 1066, nvida 9800GTX, dual ATI Digital Cable Tuners w/ Comcast digital cable cards)

Custom Windows Home Server (quad q6600, 4GB DDR 1066, 4x 1TB, 3x 1.5 TB HDD's = 9.5TB storage array - case is expandable to 20 total HDDs)

That's the king of set up I want to have one day, once I move to a bigger house.
