Dual Slot 1 Celeron Project
The first PC projects for the site. The aim is to setup a Dual Slot 1 Celeron as a router. I’m not sure if the performance will be enough for my 50Mb VDSL connection, so will have to wait and see.
The Slot 1 Celeron does require some modification to work with SMP (Symmetric Multi- Processing). CPU Central have details on this modification here.
The plan is to try and run OPNsense on the machine and use it as a gateway/firewall for my VDSL connection. Failing that, Windows NT and some retro gaming!
All the retro parts will be wrapped in a nice new case from Corsair and powered by a Corsair Rm550x (overkill, but I wanted a quality PSU to protect the hardware).
Parts List:
- 2x Intel Celeron 333 (SL2WN)
- IBM Netfinity 440LX Motherboard
- TNT2 M64
- Corsair 275r White Case
- Intel Pro 1000 Dual
- 512MB PC-133 ECC RAM
- Vantec CPU Coolers
- Corsair RM550x PSU
