			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The two servers I ordered from ebay have arrived!  £235 for:</p>
<p>w1zard:</p>
<ul>
<li>Intel Xeon 3.2GHz (/proc/cpuinfo reports 2 cores)</li>
<li>1024MB of RAM (free reports 1023012 bytes)</li>
<li>73.1GB 15k RPM SCSI hard disk drive (df reports 67456272 bytes on /)</li>
<li>2x1Gb ethernet (both identical Intel 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet Controllers)</li>
<li>Floppy disk drive, CD ROM drive, front-availability VGA and 2xUSB</li>
</ul>
<p>w1tch:</p>
<p>Same as above</p>
<p>W1zard is already up and running, serving you this webpage!  W1tch will be up when I work out how to configure the network (I'm thinking internet-&gt;router-&gt;w1zard-&gt;w1tch-&gt;war1ock for the time being, with w1tch and war1ock later becoming siblings in a w1zard-controlled network).</p>
<p>Problems encountered so far:</p>
<ol>
<li>Missing kettle leads for both servers (borrowed a couple, ordered some from Ebay so I can return the borroed cables)</li>
<li>W1zard's RAID was set to RAID 0, but the second disk had been removed - so I got a RAID error on first boot - solved by switching RAID off in the BIOS.</li>
<li>Minor damage to w1tch's front mount thingy, fixed by bending it back the couple of mil it was out by.</li>
</ol>
<p>They are also very noisy, and very big; which doesn't matter in the long run as their ultimate location will be the attic, but for now they are on my desk and very much in the way.</p>
<p>Both servers also came without any software, but the MBs support PXE; but it was a quicker job to use a Ubuntu 9.10 server edition disk on w1zard - I may experiment with PXE when I get w1tch up and running.</p>
<p>Any questions?</p>
