Many of you may be familiar with Cemetech0; it forms the backbone of the wordNet service, and for several months hosted Cemetech's SAX system. However, it's a 400MHz Dell PII with 192MB, and I discovered it was somewhat inadequate for some of the new tasks I wanted it to perform, especially for wordNet and WorldTrends. First, some pix of Cemetech0 in its new home, the microLab server rack:
Cemetech0 is the white machine at top right, while Cemetech1 is the blade just above the white machine at bottom right:
Another shot of Cemetech0 (the lower machine; the upper one is Lante):
A third shot of Cemetech0; you can vaguely see the LEDs of the Eth0 Indicator that I published a while ago:
Cemetech1. Note the massiveness of the server blade.
Under each of those two fans is a CPU; also check out the 4x1GB sticks of PC2100 DDR RAM and the riser card for the SCSI adapter.
There's three SCSI HDs in the six bays at the front, but only 2 are hooked up for now. At right are the CD-ROM and floppy drives.
I built Cemetech1 out of parts scavenged from old, non-functional servers; the tentative specs are as such:
CPUs: 2x AMD Athlon 1900+ @ 1.6GHz each
RAM: 4x 1GB DDR PC2100
HDDs: 2x HP 73.8GB SCSI 160Mb/s
HD Controller: Adaptec dual-channel SCSI card
CD: 52x CD-ROM
NIC: Dual 10/100 Ethernet NICs
