AV Wiring

It is always safer to pull more than you need today so that you are ready for tomorrow. Just a few years ago a single RG-6 coax to the TV was enough. But today more wires is needed. Build your own server - Serve Me! Foreword by Brett Thomas If you're anything like me (even before I got really involved with bit-tech.net), you've got spare parts everywhere.

Build your own server - Serve Me!

You know what I mean - systems that you have put aside as you've upgraded over the years, like Northwood P4s and Athlon XP boards that have gone the way of the dodo. They aren't your top gaming rig - they don't even need 200W to run, much less have 200W for the graphics card. In my goal of helping you find new and useful ways to use that old crap, it dawned on me - everyone I know complains about files on this computer or that computer, or not being able to get the things they need or want while they're out or away from their home desk. They needed a file server - a REAL file server, with web interface and bit-torrent and the capacity to not tie up your precious screens and keyboards, which are (at least in my house) in less supply than motherboards and hard drives.
