Well,
Actuley it is a web filter by 8e6. It came without the hd and special os, so it cant be a web filter/proxy. I am making it into a server.

256mb RAM
Space for 2 IDE Drives
FSP Group PSU
3 nics
What do you alll think?

Wow. It is really loud. The fans are super loud. Maby with the cover on it will be better?

WD-40 I'm sure would fix the noisy fans, my Fantom Drives case fan grinds and WD-40 fixed it.

WD-40 is not a lubricant, it's a degreaser. Great for clearing gunk out of the bearing race, not great for long-term protection. After a few days of use, follow up with a drop of sewing machine oil.

You should see an IBM BladeCenter H with the fans at full speed. You can feel the blast from 10' away.
I spilt some water on my shirt once at work. So I just reset the management module so the fans would go to full speed and stood behind the BladeCenter. My shirt was dry in about 30 seconds.

Dang, I would LOVE to have my box sound like a vacuum again. My last PC was like that and I want that sound back! Especially when I got a dually core under the hood of this machine. It almost sounds like a mini-supercomputer 😀
