Description

This server works as a router for 4-6 users (changes from time to time). The Compaq Deskpro 386/20e was just too weak for that so I needed a better solution. Samuel Henry gave me a P133, a mainboard and even a case. However, the case was not 1337 enough so it had to be modded. Unfortunately I lost the first pictures when I tried my new digital camera.

	A nice 80mm cut-out for a fan
	Chocolat Creme Dessert
	It's progressing well, hot glue is still a modder's best friend.
	The case frame had to be cut, too.
	Newly drilled LED holes, ripped out the switch and built in a key switch
	The key switch from the back
	A test build-up of the system
	This will be an exhaust fan
	This will improve air flow
	The power supply is connected to the key switch
	Quotation of Urs Nyffeler: "Well skewed is well, too"
	The built-in NMB on the back
	Here it is and serves
	After serving flawlessly for 2 months a modder came along and wanted to modify the rear exhaust fan, in doing so the 12V and GND wires came a bit too close. BOOM and the power supply was nuked (odd). I got a new one from Hund in exchange for a network card, it had some traces of syrup but it worked. There was one downside: The cable loom was originated on the side (optimized for desktops) which meant the case could not be closed anymore. The power supply was then just mounted to fit.
	Mounted with Stokys/Meccano elements
	An ideal build-up
	When the noise the case made in the corridor started to be disturbing at last the power supply had to be modded further so the case could be closed again. The bolt cutter and the file did their job well.
	Now everything fits in there again.
	Good work
	Update 20.5.2002: To reduce the harddisk noise it was mounted with strings and cable ties.
	After three months of uptime the server had to be opened for some reason.
	AAAARGH!
	Luckily "Allah" has no dust allergy :)
	The relocation to the bathroom: I drilled some fat holes!
	A hidden culture was found under a shelf behind the toilet!
	ghetto mods!
	Looks like the toilet has been heavily used.
	The Ex Zone
