I know I can use a router, but I was wondering if there was a PCI card or something that would sit inside the server.
Thanks for the response. I wanted lots of snide remarks from the lounge
I guess I'll have to go with a router, I was just hoping to integrate everything into one unit. I've been browsing newegg.com for servers, and consequently found some awesome deals on big screen tvs 
Here is the link for the wall mount....I like it becuase its closed and half way descent looking.
Yeah, I understand completely, as I toyed with the idea myself. There just aren't a lot of good options out now to do that, and most of them end up being not as functional as even an inexpensive wireless router.
- there are a lot of fairly attractive cases on the market now, even stuff that would tuck away in your audio equipment and look right at home (I have a HTPC set up with an Antec NSK-2400). Pick what you want, of course, just mentioning that you don't have to sacrifice looks for functionality. The NSK-2400 is designed to isolate the power supply and hard drives (two big sources of heat) away in their own thermal chambers. Works nicely. There are lots of good cases around.
Damn, I like the NSK-2400. Looks good, isolates the power supply and hard drive and has a some big fans.....I bet it runs nice and cool. I'm actually setting this up for a client (I normally only handle software issues, but this came up), and its going into the 2008 budget so I have some time to shop around. I'm supposed to have an overall estimate for changes (labor and hardware) in the next couple of weeks. I'll estimate high, and then they will be pleased when it comes in under (or at least "satisfied" if its at budget).Yeah, I understand completely, as I toyed with the idea myself.

I thought the wall mount was kinda ugly, myself
There are several hardware monkeys that post in here as well as myself so post up any questions you have and I'm sure they'll get answered.
Thanks for the info. Aren't you getting your degree in electrical?? Computers a side interest?
Nope, I'm getting my degree in I.T. with a specialization in networking. I'm going to have all kinds of acronyms after my name when I'm done
Also, it's much more limited in range/signal strength. It's a pretty huge compromise just to have everything in one box.
Try a dime a gross.
I ain't got a single f**king certification. I guess it pays to have gotten into the game when it was red hot.
You're ahead of BV? Bwhahahah!
That's partly it. I could work in the industry without certifications, but a CCNP is going to give me an very high starting salary without specific experience in the networking field, and put me way out in front of most other recent college grads.I ain't got a single f**king certification.

Nerd.Behind? I'm 25 and have 4 semesters of college and 7 years of full time work experience under my belt. Been working with comptuers since I was 15, so that's a decade of built up knowledge. Whatcha got at 17?
I'm 25 and a sophomore/almost junior (not sure exactly where my # of credits puts me) in college. Going back a little late but I got some good work experience and a lot of partying under my belt before it would interfere with my education. I passed my CCNA last year and am starting my CCNP this year. MCSE isn't something I'm concerned with since they're almost a dime a dozen now.
When I graduate I'll have my RHCT, Network+, possibly Security+ if I care enough to get it, CCNP and a couple pieces of the MCSE but I won't be finishing it off. I may stretch myself into the CCIE after a few years of working depending on how things go.
I'm moving business side and away from writing code all day (not that there is anything wrong with writing code all day long). It is cool your getting your certs Drakan, especially at such a young age. Hell, all I did in High School was ride my bike and party (I guess I did that a lot in college as well).
Dude - I know several trained spider monkeys that have their MCSE.
Maybe... I've been in interviews with a number of individuals who had Sun, Red Hat, and Microsoft certifications and apparently didn't know $hit about those operating systems. Not sure if they had the certs with no practical experience or what, but nothing takes the place of real "get your hands dirty" experience.
We have had kids interview straight out of college who don't know SQL and have no database experience.....you have to be kidding me, what are these schools teaching them?? I had a hands on college, that spent time teaching theory and then all of our homework was practical application of the theory.Maybe...

I think you're gonna be golden, though, because you seem to know your $hit.
Don't equate certificates with knowledge. All it means is someone studied to answer test questions. Practical experience will trump book learning 99 times out of 100. It's great that you're getting the certs, but they're only a small part of the equation.
You're the envy of everyone because nobody wants to bother to teach you anything? Hmm...
Thanks, I appreciate all of the feedback you guys have given.
I think he was implying that his knowledge has exceeded his teachers, thus making him special, and being special has made him the envy of the county.
You wouldn't happen to be from Hazzard County, would you?
and I was debugging software with a soldering iron ,before you were born!
so you can cram and pass a test big deal. Well said, it is amazing how many people I have interviewed who had certs and couldn't answear REAL world situations. and when askimg how they would solve a specfic sitition the answear from them is usually I'd open a Case with Novell/Microsoft/Sun/Cisco , etc, etc.
In other Words you annoyed her. how come that is not surprising.
I was laying it out for the slow peopleI know, I was just kidding
Huh? I ain't got no idea wut the hell you boys is tawkin' 'bout.
