Cooling a home server room?

I have a dedicated server room in my house with 3 racks’ worth of equipment (I host websites and use part of it for rendering), so as you imagine, it gets quite hot in there.

This is a newly remodeled house, and at the moment, the room has no AC/heating duct. I can add it in easily enough, but I’m worried that it will reduce the efficiency of the central air by forcing it to run when the rest of the house is cool.

Does it make sense to get a large window air conditioner instead, and leave the room disconnected from central air?

Buying a server from ebay.?

ALL i need is:
2 GHz Intel XEON (Dual Processor)
I don’t give a crap about anything els (i have it all lmao)
The reason i wanna do this is for gaming PC.
I’ve seen more than enough on ebay for extremely low prices… like $20.
But the problem is they charge like $50 for shipping. Servers are not very heavy nor large. How can shipping be THAT much! And the specs i will make the server later…
2x 2GHz Intel XEONs with Hyper-Threading. They are both technically single core.
nVidia GeForce 8400GS with 512MB of dedicated memory.
2GB RAM
Windows 7
Are these specs any good for gaming with a server?

Need help with port forwarding.?

I have a 2wire router/modem (uverse) and a netgear wireless router. I have the 2wire router plugged into a LAN port on the netgear to make it a wireless access point. From the netgear router I have my computer plugged in. I can get internet and do whatever. The problem is I cannot port forward, and I need to to be able to host a dedicated game server. I have tried port forwarding strait from the 2wire router (no netgear router at the time) and still nothing. I have even put the server into DMZ Plus mode to let all traffic flow and still nothing. I also have AVG internet security (windows firewall turned off) and the AVG firewall is set to allow all. So I don’t think it’s a firewall issue. I can connect to the server from another computer at home but that’s of course because I’m on the same LAN. If anyone else wants to connect it says “Failed after 10 retries.” Can anyone help me?
You gotta remember netgear router is handing out ipaddresses..DHCP is turned off so its only a wireless access point. And the server is in DMZ Plus mode

Is there EVER a good time to drive in Seattle?

My husband and I moved to Seattle a week and a half ago. We live in West Seattle.

So, what is the best time to drive on the freeways?? We both work in West Seattle, so no need to even drive, typically.

Software reseller, affiliate, marketing firm to promote my products ?

I have a website, creditcard processors (2checkout, ikobo, paypal, shareit) and software products.

I want to work with advertisers (I tried bidvertiser and know adwords), affiliates, resellers or marketers on a profit sharing basis. So basically I can sell them the licences (product keys) as they resell the product to customers or I can process payment and give them the finders fee. They need to promote (seo,ads,maillists,better web site?) and actually sell the products to obtain any money.

Can I scratch the last four digits of my credit card # on a receipt?

I fear the last four digits of my credit card number, visible on receipts, will lead to fraud/identity theft. There has been times when I have received my receipt and my name and ex. date are visibile. I know this can be scratched out, BUT can I scratch out the last four digits of my CC # and still have the merchant charge my account?
Okay, Tony, thanks. BUT I m scratching the numbers from the store receipt, the one give back to the store. I’ve noticed that this one place I used my CC at, the charges are still peding, so I’m concerned they weren’t able to determine who’s CC was used and now I have that pending charge! =

Victim of Cell phone FRAUD ?

Me and my husband did…since last year when I got my new Verizon phone, I started receiving these text messages that I thought were just advertisements for some match-making thing…the texts said something about “soulmate love” and $9.99, but I always deleted those as soon as I received them and never, ever replied or texted back anything. I never thought anything else about it until recently when my husband (who pays the bill online) was comparison shopping the plans so we can upgrade… and he found that we have been charged for over a year for these texts I’d been receiving. I never received any services…no horoscopes, no whatever they are…but we were charged all this time, and it was $20.00 per month and once it was $40 in addition to our normal cell phone bill. He never though much about our bill being $20 more…he thought I’d been texting my Mom a lot (who lives in another state) and he just paid the bills and was done with it. Last December, it was $40 more and he did mention to me about it being a lot higher but I told him I didn’t understand and that I had not been texting her much at all.

So, by accident he found out that we’ve paid about $400 more than we ever should…for services we never signed up for or agreed to !! We complained to Verizon and they eventually credited our account for $60 (they could only go back 3 months, they said) and we filed a FRAUD complaint with them. They also gave us the number to contact the company charging these fees, which is MOBILE MESSENGER, who also used names like soulmatelove.com and MMTXT that appears on your bill. They’re all the same company and my husband researched the internet and found that the man that is behind this whole scam, and who is cheating tons of people around the WORLD out of money and wasting their time, as well…because they have to fight with their service carrier to get their money back, or some of it…he is living in Australia and there have been lawsuits against him in the past or maybe currently, I hope. He is a millionaire now because of his LOW-LIFE way of doing business, because he’s too sorry to get a REAL JOB like most other people ! There are many class-action lawsuits going on because of these fraudulent text charges and we should all be aware and watch your cell phone bills carefully. If you find that you’re having this same problem, DO something about it and complaint, file a fraud report, etc.

I found this information on the man who supposedly owns this company–do with it what you may :

Knowing that there are all of these lawsuits going on and unauthorized charges…and yet they let these THIEVES continue to use THEM to do their billing !! They must make a profit on the transactions, so they are just as guilty UNTIL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH THESE GUYS.

Have you had similar experiences and if so, please share them here on Yahoo Answers…maybe one day we can do something to stop this junk from happening anymore.

Need a lot of questions answered about Switching to Verizon and the Motorola Droid? (Questions all over page)?

I need help with understanding clear steps on how to choose the right phone for VERIZON…

Here’s the thing….

I have T-MOBILE and it sucks! The reception is horrible, they send me messages and charge me, they charge me for things that i haven’t even touched once. Its just a horrible service!

I am switching to VERIZON within this week and i need your advice on how to START VERIZON.

I am interested into the MOTOROLA DROID and some questions that still goes out to you guys…

1. Is the main purpose the the DROID (smart-phone), to use internet, and business-related OR can i just basically buy it because i’m in need of a phone that can CALL and GPS?

The fact remains that i am not so interested in the internet, and such on what the DROID has to offer, but I am considering buying the DROID because it seems like a nice way to put everything together, the calls, the GPS, etc all in one.

Is it strange to buy the DROID when you really have no interest in the internet, and all the extra features you have to pay for?

What i want in my phone is:

-Text Messaging Capability
-GPS (i’m pretty sure that this feature is free?)
-Calling Capability
-Facebook & Twitter (What do i need for this? Is this part of the internet?)

Thanks for your time and support!
I’m assuming the price is $149 for 2 year contract or what?

If I order my new T-Mobile phone online Sunday with overnight shipping, will it come Monday?

I am no longer going to be with pricey Verizon. I am switching to T-Mobile. Better phones. Great deals. I am just curious. My dad is going to be on the plan with me and he is paying for it. He wants to port his number to T-Mobile and we are going to get express overnight shipping so he can have service . We are going to order the 2 phones on Sunday. Will they come Monday?? They said only 1 business day. PLEASE HELP!!?!

Free phone calls from 1-800 numbers?

I was in Air Force Reserve. While in service we got a 1-800 number from one of the TSgt on base. You dial the 800 number, wait, then dial # or * then a 2-digit number. then dial any phone number from within the U.S.A. only, and is toll free to call anywhere within the USA only. On the other end of person whom you are calling it shows up on their caller I.D. as: “Verizon Business Connection.” It only lasted one month then 800 number became inactive no longer used. [these are some of the privladges in the Air Force]. How is it possible to get an 800 number like this? who gets access? where to get them as well? anyway other more possible?
