Secret underground data facility :D
I like how simple it is, yet pretty damn cool.

What are the total computer specifications? And what are you hosting on them, if its not a secret :)

Keep it up! Its a pretty unique hobby.

I like this. Yet using old computers means less power efficiency right? I bet there's a way to use just one power supply for 2 or 3 computers.

They are still using the same amount of power.
With one PSU its almost impossible to do this. Too much voltage drops.

Well since its the basement, power is shared with all residents so its basically free, it amounts from 0.5$ to 1$ a month it seems my machines have no impact to the power consumption.

As far as specs go:
The machine on the left P4@ 2.55ghz/2gb ram/60gb SSD/ Runs Linux and an MySQL server.
Middle: AMD Duron@ 1.3ghz/256mb sdram/2*40gb HDD/ WinXP general FTP and my web server (mysql decided not to work on this machine)
The right one: P4@ 2.4ghz/2gb ram/2*80gb HDD/ WinXP 2*HL servers

Router has a 100/100 FTTH link, got a VPN configured so remote admin is not a problem gotta love RouterOS.

Few things:
1) Awesome! If I had the space, I'd attempt it. Really REALLY Awesome stuff mate.

2)is that foil pipe/thingymabob for hot air exhaust or cold air intake? o.o

3) Got the same camera, well, 4 of them, love them. XD

4) What DO you use this for? o.O

Very nice over all, maybe you can be my data center guy. :3
