Default Re: (OT) Building a network

Do you have any old computers in the closet? Lots of fun there. Seperate firewalls, honeypots, or a game server? You can even replace your ISP. Seriously. It takes alot less computer to serve things to the net than it takes to create them. What is too crappy to be a desktop or game machine is often 3 times as much as you need for a server. 10 times as much if you go with Linux. 50 times as much if you go Unix.
