The extent of my network in 2001 (in Penge, SE London)

At Cambridge in 2002, following a new monitor amongst other upgrades

Cambridge again, in 2003, with a UPS and server

2004, my last year at uni, the server is now rack mountable, there's a second desktop system, and a new switch

2005 back at my Mum's place, playing Doom 3 in the dark

Same kit as in the last photo, you can see I've added a second server at this point

2006, now in Enfield... lots more rack mountable servers and network kit :) plus other stuff that's not in the shot

Of course the desktop PC has undergone many upgrades over the years too, though the case is the same

I like the shots taken with the lights off...

I was very fond of this wallpaper: the PC was called “ferrari”

Check out the Quake 3 logo I created with neon string in the window

Maybe I photographed these too much?

One more

My fileserver back in 2006

Razer Diamondback Plasma LE, and Razer Copperhead

Stock HSF for my Opteron 2210

Abit IN9 32X Max motherboard

Pair of 150 GB WD Raptors

Here I had just begun my quest to convert from Windows to linux (you can see some linux servers being installed on screen - inititally as VMs)

Shiny Tyan motherboard with 16 RAM slots!

My own rack! This was within a few weeks of getting my new flat - mid 2007

Testing the structured cabling ports I had just wired up

Servers all installed

2008 now, with the addition of some new networking kit and tape library
