underground5 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 In the summer of 2006 around july i think, i was bored and playing basketball at the park behing my house.And on this one particular day a minivan pulled up and threw a bunch of stuff into the dumpster, at the time i didn't think anything of it intill i glanced over and noticed that he was throwing in a keyboard. I continued to play bb, and waited for the van to leave as soon as it did i ran over to the dumpster and looked inside, and to my suprise there was 2 monitors a keyboard a mouse and one of the p2's that my school has 1,000's of. I quickly jumped into the dumpster grabed the p2 and ran home. When i booted it up it had a clean install of windows 98, it had 256mb of ram, and an 8gb hd. so i wiped the hd installed windows 2000 threw in a 40gb drive and since that day it has been serving music and files to my network, hosting the occasional doom game , ftp, webserver, backup server, F@H, it generated 2 rainbow tables, and it has done other misc stuff all at the same time. The cpu is always running at 100% and it's never been offline for more than 5 min over the past 6 months. i'm also thinking about adding some more hd's to it, because right now there's under 80gb of storege spanned out across the 3 drives and it's supposed to be a file server :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deleted Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The most interesting thing you find around here is M.O.D. stuff from Barry Buddon, but if you pick it up and take it home, the M.O.D. raids your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
