Hilfsdrache01 should be my first standalone server for Lan Partys and such.
As for that reason, I decided to do a bit more than "only" build up the pc and get it running: I tried to built the pc into an big attache case. The benefits were clearly: An easily transportable pc with an solid and small case.
Because I didn't have much space, I used MiniATX components for this project.
An Intel Pentium II with 450 Mhz and 256 MB of Sdram Ram (100 Mhz FSB) and two 20 Gb HDDs, as well as an 10 Mbit and an 100 Mbit Networking Interface Card were the "startup". As the pc didn't boot up without an Graphics Card, I decided to use an old ATI Rage, as that AGP Card was quite solid, drained not much power and needed not even an heat sink on its GPU.
As for the overall cooling, I used an 120mm Fan in 7 Volt Mode (quite silent and much throughput).
The project started on 29.12.2003 and was completed on the morning of the 31.12.2003.
At the same night, it was already tested on an lan party with 4 clients, running an Freelancer, Counterstrike and Fileserver (for Patches). It worked.
