Black & Decker UT99 Server, weird but useful
Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2023 11:00 pm
I had been thinking for days about how to take advantage of the symmetrical 1GB connection at my mother's house to put up a UT99 server (mine does not reach 100 asymmetrical), without making noise, not spending a lot of electricity, etc... Raspberries are not compatible and slownly, and minipcs are very expensive, so I decided to take advantage of the scrap that I had.
It's okay if no one mistakes it for the toolbox and rips out the wires .
Inside it an old laptop board, which had a broken screen and battery, Acer e5 522, AMD Series A A4-7210, 4 cores from 1.8 to 2.2 Ghz in turbo mode, 8GB DDR3 and 120GB Kingston SSD, bye, bye RaspberryPi. The relay is to solve the problem that the laptop board, does not have the function "Power on after power loss" in bios, relay is powered by USB, so that when the power is cut, it closes the circuit of the two power button pins, and server boot again. The operating system is Ubuntu Server x64 of course.
I think it's a good idea to take advantage of laptops, which usually break the screen and the battery doesn't work, for these things, instead of Lenovo or HP minipcs, which are more expensive, in case the idea helps someone.
