Man that makes me feel bad. Just got another family hand me down from me mum, a P3 with 128 ram, 40g drive, and I just added a 128 vid card. The shocker is the PS is 185w, and there are two optical drives and a 3.5 floppy. I'm takin' bets on when the PS goes since adding the ATI. Do you know what a challenge it is to work in ME, or find viable wares for it?

Just thought I'd post the specs for the original Def Con Forums server when we hosted it a few years back. We must have hosted for 4 years or so. This box was not dedicated to the forums either. It originally was for personal use/fun and email/web services for friends and family.

White box

Used (and free) 450mhz PII on a 440gx chipset
512MB RAM PC100
30GB 7200rpm IBM Deskstar ATA 66 HD - Master
2GB 5400rpm WD ATA 33 HD - Slave (for swap et al.)
T 10/100 3Com Ethernet card.

Debian GNU/Linux stable
Customized kernel from kernel.org

Services: DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, IPTABLES, SSH, FTP, MYSQL, Email

Best uptime: 400+ days (We lost the original uptime > uptime.txt file)

Bandwidth was a private but shared T1.
