Here's a thread to offer tech ideas or brag about how great/lousy your system is.
I run a dedicated server almost all the time. I'm too cheap to pay for a real game server, so I make the most of DSL. The DSL goes to a 8-port switch which, if needed, plugs into a wireless router.
My computer is a 2.1 Ghz Athalon with 512 MB RAM, the 'extra' computer has a 1Ghz Athalon with just as much RAM, there is a 'media' computer hooked up to the stereo to stream music (only a p3 with 128MB RAM), and the 'server' is a 300Mhz e-Machine that is maxed out at a whopping 256MB RAM.
The server doesn't always show up on Half-Life's server list, and I don't have a static ip address. Well a little place called no-ip.com took care of that for me. I signed up for their free service and downloaded an updater. Every time that computer boots the domain craash.no-ip.org points at that IP address. Want to quickly connect to my server? Go to the console and type connect craash.no-ip.org
Since I have DSL I'm entitled to a 'personal web page'. But... the address was too long and hard to remember. Not to worry, I heard about http://www.dot.tk so now you can hit http://craash420.tk instead of typing in a mile long URL.
Tech check

Umm,
I still get by with a PII 400Mhz, BX440 mainboard, 256Mb SDRam and a RivaTnT 16Mb 2xAGP graphics card.
Full compiles are done overnight, which suits me fine as I like sleeping.

WOW! U kno whats interesting, we were discussing PC's and that in my IPT class and all the old stuff. For example when computers came with 10meg hard-drives and then someone would go and buy a 40 meg one and people are like "You'll never fill it! NEVER!". Its amazing, its moving so fast!
