Old GEC 4' Fitting Back in Service More decorative than functionally necessary in this room, but this is where this tip save will live from now on. I'd love to find a suitable coloured tube for it (red or gold), though a sleeve would work too given I've a load of 535 tubes... Currently running the late 70s vintage Philips /35 tube which came with it. Obviously I need to nearly route the cable. Such a minimalist fitting, must have looked really modern at the time. Different take on the same idea as the Netaline... Keywords: gec;fluorescent;40w;resistive;hot-wire

That machine is running (among other things) the DLNA server providing access for the couple of TB of movies etc to the rest of the house, a distributed computing client and hosts my website. Also is the "TV" for that bedroom, which is pretty much the only reason is has a monitor attached.

Neat. I have a little Shuttle pc with all my stuff on it.

Is your's set up as a NAS? I have a Shuttle PC but don't use it anymore, might put freeNAS on it one day.

Naw it's used as a media/internet PC. I have it hooked up to my Oppo UDP-205 via USB which gets used a a DAC that feeds into my main Hi-Fi Preamp. I have about 10TB storage in it and when I need more I will get an external NAS array probably. It has an i7 2600k running at 4ghz in it from my old gaming PC lol.

This is just an old Core 2 Duo E6750, but it does what it needs to and runs basically silently...Most of the media handling is done via DLNA (running Rygel as the server), though the folders are also shared via Samba so that folks running Windows 10 can view all the files directly without needing to use a media player - there's a bug in Win 10 which on certain systems results in it only showing the first 200 items in a directory discovered via DLNA...been documented since 2015 and still is an issue...well done MS, brilliant service as always.

Those old Core 2 CPU's made me switch from AMD and I've not looked back!

Wouldn't cut the mustard as a desktop workstation these days (an old Mac Pro running the current version of Linux Mint handles that lovely though with 32Gb of memory and dual Xeon X5365s), but the pair of them were free...and are lovely well built "desktop server" type machines though, so they're ideal for jobs like this.

The old GEC fitting looks a lot brighter than the Netaline. Is it running at higher power?
