EN7600GT SILENT/2DHT/256M ?

or

EN7600GT/2DHT/256M ?

or

EN7600GT/HTDI/256M ?

 and I would go for a silverstone TJ04-B case and probably a
 silverstone 450W power supply. And I wouldn't go for less than a 20
 screen since I hate 1280x1024 screens, while 20 gives you 1600x1200.

Any particular screen in mind ?

 Of course those changes would probably add another $500 to the price.

Well, after reading all the comments to my initial post, I reconsidered
:) So, I am not buying Dell anymore. I decided to buy the parts and
build it myself.

[off-topic] iptables and virtual network interfaces.

2007-06-11 Thread Bharath Ramesh
I have a server where I am using virtual network interfaces or aliased
interfaces, eth0:x format to listen to multiples ips on the same nic. I
will be running different sites with different services based on the ip
address. I want different iptables policy for these ip/interfaces. It
seems like iptables doesnt understand virtual network interfaces at all.
I tried to search for a solution but couldnt find any. I was wondering
if anyone of you had experiences with setting up iptables with virtual
network interfaces.

Thanks,

Bharath

I'm not sure why you marked this OT, since it is certainly on-topic,
assuming you are running it on Debian :-)

Just use shorewall.

Well if I was building a really nice game machine I would get the Asus
Striker Extreme.  But the Asus M2N32-SLI is a bit more sane.  If I
decided that SLI was never going to be of interest, I would probably
just get one of the Asus P5B series with the i965 chipset.

 EN7600GT SILENT/2DHT/256M ?
 
 or
 
 EN7600GT/2DHT/256M ?
 
 or
 
 EN7600GT/HTDI/256M ?

I guess it depends on the price, and what type of connectors you need.
Silent sounds nice, although even a plain 7600GT is usually rather
quiet.

It does look like a number of companies are replacing the 7600GT with
the 8600GT now.  Not sure how they compare.  I think nvidia has driver
support for the 8xxx series in linux by now, but I am not sure.

 Any particular screen in mind ?

Well the Dell 3007WFP-HC looks nice, but probably the Dell 2007FP or the
2407WFP are more reasonable.  My father uses a 2007FP and it is a very
nice panel.

 Well, after reading all the comments to my initial post, I reconsidered
 :) So, I am not buying Dell anymore. I decided to buy the parts and
 build it myself.

Usually gives the best result.  And it's great fun to assemble things
yourself.

The reason I marked this offtopic was that because this is not something
specific to debian-amd64.

I will take a look at this.

Re: [off-topic] iptables and virtual network interfaces.

2007-06-11 Thread Bharath Ramesh
Thanks to all the people who gave their suggestions. What I have learnt
from this is

1) Iptables doesnt understand virtual interface directly
2) I shouldnt use the interface parameter and ip address tuple for
iptables, just use the ipaddress.

Thanks,

Bharath
