Check out this beauty I just got finished assembling.
This little rack mounting box used to be an old 10/mbps 16 port hub given to me by a friend awhile back. Seeing as I couldn't really use it being so limited on bandwidth, and needing to make my modem and router fit somehow in a rack setup, I decided to gut it, and stick the modem and router in.
On the left where you see some blue shine is my Docsis III Motorola modem that's good for heavy, constant traffic, and on the right (Where the screen is) is my Dlink DGL 4500 GamerLounge router I picked up from Goodwill months back for a few bucks. I finally finished repairing it, and it works really well. I've seen nothing but good reviews and specs from this little box.
Long story short, I made some adjustments, glued some stuff, soldered some buttons, and made this into an all-in-one rack box. I think it looks nice~

Used to be an old Firebox 700 firewall, but I hated the serial-forced interface, and it was very much out dated. It was just not worth really saving, and I needed to put my server into a smaller case...so I decided to gut the Firebox and made it into a standard ATX case. Right now it's just got a little DDR2 Intel motherboard with a dual core 2.6GHz Celeron CPU with a 200w psu. Not bad huh? It even plays Minecraft without trouble.

I tweak both hardware and software alike. I mainly develop software in Linux (Debian) more than anything. I'm pretty knowledgeable in just about anything pertaining to hardware and software. I've just learned and taught myself over the years since I was a kid. :3
