"The balcony datacenter"
What better way to use your old hardware than to throw it in the balcony and run a HL server on it
Not long ago i aquired a crappy UPS to add some redundancy incase power decides to be a troll and not work. I will probably hook a car battery up to it so that it holds the power longer.
Oh if anyone wants to play the ip is:
62.80.247.69

Shield it from sunlight at least, it will cause it to overheat and heavily damage the paint/plastics through UV radiation. Same with the cables, they'll be all crackly and yellow in a few weeks and it won't be long before they are cut by their own weight.
Sunlight and water kill about everything.
Now, with that aside, is it a WON or Steam HL server? I can do WON...
Its steam but i think WON can also connect to it.
And no, by experience, WON HL connections are refused by Steam HL servers.
2: remove one side of said box
3: waterproof it with kitchen plastic wrap or loads of paint or both
4: place it over server
5: fuck the rain away
Why is it on the balcony?
Awesome
Btw, I'm guessing it's not an outside balcony, but instead it's an inbuilt one that's within the building, like these ones for example:
There are no laws saying that you can't put windows in balconies. A lot of people knock out the inner window and wall to get a bigger room.
@Stu
Just try i have some plugins running that allow non-steam to connect maybe WON works
