Imagine how much I struggled with an 8KVa model with an additional battery pack - I feel your pain, the chiropractor likes UPS's!

Must cost you a fortune for a setup like that though!

Everything has been aquired over many years. The single biggest amount I have ever spent on computer equiptment was about £400 and that was for the access points and the wireless antennas. As you can see my computers are all quite old but more than good enough for the job they do.

My main machine is a 1.8GHz with 704MB DDR. 40GB HDD. Thats it, but it does the job for me and is powerful enough to run VMWare and have 2 users logged on using remote desktop at the same time.
I've got another beast which needs repairing too (1.4GHz) and that one ironically handles the work better than my main one.
Who needs these hyperthreading thingamajigs?

It is lightning quick for anything I need. My servers are only 1.3Ghz and dual 1Ghz both with 512Mb RAM.
My laptop is only 1.5Ghz with only 256Mb RAM and my computer "Other" is only 700Mhz with 512Mb RAM although this one is too slow even for me but I don't care because I only set it up for other people in my house.
I think computer manufacturers and retaillers have lead the general public to believe that they need superfast computers when really people are only using the internet and Word and stuff. A computer of eBay complete for £80 would do the job for most people! The total cost of my webserver "Sideburns" complete with the dual motherboard, processors, memory, case, DVDrom, postage etc was less than that!

Can't see a good reason not to - it works admirably well, and carries a whiff of nostalgia as its the first server the compny I work for ever bought.
Admitedly it no longer runs the entire network and is dwarfed when its specs are lined up against its many more recent siblings - it runs AV and print shares admirably though and is as reliable as any of the more recent offerings.

Quote from: seanbranagh Yeah, my fastest machine (my main one) in 2.3Ghz (overclocked Athlon XP 2000+)
Thats seriously overclocked!
My main beast uses a AMD XP 2200 and I get 1.8GHz! I don't do over clocking though as that in itself means I'd need better cooling etc which I don't really have the cash for at the moment! Still, 1.8GHz is fast enough for me! (Same speed as my laptop which has 512MB SDRam and is *almost* as fast!)
Still, 2.2GHz on a XP 2000 is pretty decent going! I saw on cpu-world a while back someone had over clocked a XP 1700 (I think) to 2.9GHz! It must of been frying lol

I have the APC smart 3000 RM (Pictured). It has 8 times the battery capicity of my old Trust 950VA! More than big enough for me. Powers my servers and stuff for over 2 hours. I got it second hand from eBay complete with new batteries.

There is only one computer not connected to this because it is at the other side of the house on the normal socket ring but instead it uses my old Trust 950 UPS.
