if the router doesn't natively support bridge mode, see if it's supported by dd-wrt or tomato.

many wireless routers can run in bridge mode. you'll want to assign it a static ip and disable the onboard dhcp server as well. this will simply turn the router into a wireless client and switch for the lan ports. the wan port will no longer function.

I did a fun little experiment a couple years ago. I installed XP on a machine and didn't update it or install any security software on it. Hooked it up to my cable modem and let it sit there doing nothing. Within about 15 minutes the system was hosed with viruses/malware. I did something similar …

if you want to stick with windows and are feeling adventurous, you could do what i did and use windows server 2016 essentials. my rig is a maximus viii ranger, 6700k and gtx 1080. pros: no cortana, no metro apps, no telemetry, native nic teaming, hyper-v, more control over windows updates. cons: …

not sure what my plans are for this other than clean it up and get dos loaded and working properly. it will probably just end up in a box when it's finished. like my last 4 builds. 😒

the blurry photo on craigslist was kinda hard to decipher but, after comparing to several different models, i think it's the HP VECTRA VE 4/66. not sure if this helps or not.

I did run a few benchmarks, but I did not record them as I was just testing system stability. Maybe I'll record a few benchmarks tomorrow. I will say this, it can definitely run crysis. The system is relatively quiet. The gtx 280s are notorious for their heat so when their fans ramp up you can …
