New Teamspeak Server active and running…

I reconfigured my entire network here last weekend to best accomodate hosting the Teamspeak Server that I built for us. Although there were some heavy growing pains, as I have never done Linux before, and I am not a network admin, it is now running smoothly and should not present any more problems. Thanks for your patience.

I do still have some finishing touches I am putting on the case for it, but those down times will be minimal, as I will plan them so it doesn’t interfere when most of us are online. I’ll also post some images here of the server build, as I used a mini-atx motherboard, laptop components, and some butchered parts of an old case to make it a very small, low power and dead quiet setup. It’s mounted inside a small chrome trashcan I picked up at Target, laying vertically on it’s side with a custom faceplate and rear panel. (looks like a miniature tower)

The birth of a mini linux server:

  • EPIA M10000 motherboard
  • Morex 120W power supply
  • 512mb DDR RAM (redhat WS minimum)
  • 80gb 2.5″ laptop hard drive
  • 8X Slot loading DVD-RW
  • Linux Redhat WS
  • Old Steel CPU Case/Chassis
  • SimpleHuman chrome trashcan (from Target)
  • Lots of elbow grease

I will post some shots of the internal mountings/workings when I get some time to take the server down for a few. And of course, once I have the faceplate finished and mounted. I’m building some metal mesh screening into it to allow for ventilation, although this doesn’t run even warm due to the low power consumption.

Hope you enjoy the pics!
