GigaFour: Juggernaut

This is my beast af a baby. It's a 10/8GHz Dual Processor G4 Tower with a gig of DDR 2700 RAM, 2 10,000 RPM IBM Glass Plater SCSI Hard Drives (one 18GB and one 36GB) on a 64-Bit AHA-39160 SCSI Card, another 120GB ATA as storage, a GeForce 4 Titanium 4600 (Using dual head output to power 2 21" monitors), an Airport Wireless LAN Card, 10/100/1000 BT Ethernet controler, a Lite-On 48x12x48 CD-RW Drive, and a DVD-RW SuperDrive. Oh it also uses a Dvorak Sun Type-6 Keyboard and a Kensington TurboMouse Pro Wireless. You can pee your pants now. ^_^

9600/400 G3: Grandfather-9600

This is the computer I use all day. It is a beefed up 9600 with acceptable specs. We installed it in the closet so that the huge industrial strength rackmount fan could be used to cool the beast (those parts heat up like a bastard. ex: 110 degree processor with 2 4" fans). It now runs at 80.4 degrees, and the *2 10,000 RPM IBM HDs are actually cold! Its got a *Voodoo5 5500, with 512 MB of RAM and a *AHA-39160 64-bit SCSI Card. Also installed is a *SCSI Plextor 12x10x32 CD-RW Drive. These aren't great specs but as I said they are acceptable.

*Equiptment from this machine will be forward migrating to the new G4

My Workspace: OLD

Here is the giant pile of uh... stuff... I work with. If you have really good eyes, or maybe are telepathic, you could notice that No computer in this picture is using the breed of keyboard that it shiped with. The 9600 uses a Vintage Apple Adjustable keyboard, AIMac uses a Devorak Apple Keyboard II, The iMac uses a Sun Microsystems Type 6 USB Keyboard, and the Satalite Laptop uses a built in keyboard that has been rapleced with a newer one from a later model.

iMac Webserver: TheResourceFork.com

Yes, this little thing is the computer that this website, the hotline server, and others is being served from. It runs Mac OS X and is a Rev. D iMac. Notice below the screen the keyboard has its very own little shelf with a black light. It has been up for 34 days, 16 hours and 56 minutes

DVD Player, Stereo & AIMac Monitor: AIMac

This DVD player I am quite proud of, I received it as a gift on my birthday. It is a 3 disc changer as well. My stereo is the power house / routing center of all my speakers. The DVD Player, Radio, MP3 Server, CD Player, Cable TV, and my Computer all output through here.

AIMac 2: AIMac

The AIMac has now been upgraded to a 132 MHz 604 PowerComputing PowerCenter Running Mac OS 9.1 on its internal 1 GB hard drive. Its got only 48 MB of RAM, but thats because it uses Fast Page Memory (FPM). The only other machine here that RUNS and has any respectable mount of RAM uses FPM is the 9600 Tower. Thus I had to heist 32 MB from it so AIMac wouldn't be SO gay. It's just connected to AIM all day and uses the Devorak Keyboard.

COMMING SOON!!

BlakeCam: Bystander

The BIRDcam is the most recent addition to my set. The PowerMac 6115 (Formerly known as AIMac) I bought for $15 on the side of the road in North Carolina. Will drive a color webcam that will be perched on my ceiling pointing straight down at my workspace area.

Switch and Fan:

This is one of my switchs. It's a 16 port 10/100 Unmanaged Switch. Above it is the 3U rackmount fan that cools my computer. Under it is my telephone punchdown/patch block, and below that, is the 10BT overflow server switch (used with the webcams, AIMac, and ApplePhone)

BlakeCam: Observer OLD

This is LC 575 I nourished back to health from a really sick state. It had no mother board, no hard drive and a very old CD drive. So with the additions I have mad to it, it now has a fully functional motherboard, 36 MB RAM, a 24x SCSI CD Drive, a 200MB hard drive, and a COLOR Webcam attached to it! *applause*

BlakeCam: Oracle OLD

This little LC II I bought for $5 and all the other components were free. It is 16 MHz. It also has a whopping 12 MB of RAM. This little thing handles over 2000 hits per day without complaint.

Cable Storage:

This is where I keep the majority of my networking peripheral cables. Aaaaah, look at it, isn't it magnificent?!

BlakeCam: Cyclops OLD

Here is the second camera server, Cyclops, It only does low traffic webcam stuff due to its 8 MB of RAM. It is sitting on top of my VCR and on top of Cyclops is the Cable Box.
