A Linksys NSLU2 network-attached storage device, with a 320Gb Seagate USB hard drive attached. The 'slug' (as the NSLU2 is affectionately known amongst hobbyists) has the 'Unslung' alternative firmware loaded, which allows for additional software to be installed. It now acts as our intranet and e-mail server, and I'm working on a few other applications for it - not bad for a machine the height of a Coke can...
(Update (2007/01/06): I've now moved 'ayeka' to the rack next to the trolley where this photo was taken, and added a Pertelian USB LCD display for system stats, etc. See other 'nslu2'-tagged photos in my photoset for views of the new setup.)
(Update: (2011/01/22): The "slug" has now been replaced by a Synology DS110j NAS device - see this photo for the new setup. In fact, the PC next to the "slug" in this photo is now out of action too - all change...)
This is the main Huntsman server room which was set up about half a mile away from the original purpose built suite in the Admin building. There was something comforting about the constant hum of machinery and whine of fans.
Please mouse-over the picture for descriptions.
The building was originally the Research block, and when Huntsman came in it became the "Huntsman Main Offices".

A developer at Dataview, an IT company, has converted an old server into a servicable table. It comes with all bells and whistles: blinking lights.

So I got a server from work that I was going to convert into a terminal server. The problem was that it was a 1U system. The reason that's a problem is that a 1U system has small fans, and the smaller the fan, the bigger the noise. Bigger fans can rotate at slower speeds. When I turned on the 1U server, I could hear it from two floors away. I was going to have to convert this into a tower system and use bigger fans.
I was able to cut some material out of this case to house the motherboard, but this motherboard required A LOT of fans to be running in order to power on. I just didn't have that many large fans. I also had to use mount the 1U power supply into the case because it's 25PIN +8 and I didn't have any of those. Because I was restricted to this power supply, I didn't have power for the SATA drive (because of the back plane board for the drives). My only option for the drive was to lay the back plane on top and mount the drives. Then because the distance was so far from the controller, I could only mount two drives instead of four.
Anyway, unless I was willing to put some money into this, the conversion is a failure. I'm going to just suck it up and see if I can add parts of this server into my workstation that I'm using as a server anyway. Just combine the two int one really mean terminal server. I don't think I'm going to get as much RAM out of it as I would like though.

Our Apple XServe that hosts Feed2JS and some QuickTime streaming has moved upstairs to the main office server area; it previously occupied a spot in our office (see the server farm).
It had been "book mounted" -- propped up on some Shockwave programming collector item books from the mid 1990s.

I take another pass with the bokeh filter, this time in my school's server room. The status lights twinkled like stars in cartoon through the view-finder.
A frontal view of our servers; this room's subsequently been cleared out, and the servers on the desk have been moved elsewhere.
