Optiplex and Compaq seem to be most common on Ebay, So yes, those kinds of models.

Does anyone happen to have any experience with refurbishing VERY old computers (like ones with core 2 duos) and how/where to resell them to? I have a lot of free time on my hands and I'm looking to get into this.

Use those xeons to build hella powerful servers, slap them in a datacenter and rent out remote access on separate VMs profit x 1000

Not sure, it's a corsair 1000 watt one. i7 6700k, GTX 980 TI, ASUS Z-170 motherboard (I think. I'm not sure it matters though; they all have the same anti-surge feature).

I wrote about this a few months back, but never really found out a solution. So basically, every time I launch a graphics intensive task, such as a game, (hell, it even happened while editing in windows movie maker), my computer will either freeze up (the screen will go black, and it makes a bunch of sounds such as when you disconnect USB devices (that little jingle)). OR it will simply restart my computer saying that ASUS anti-surge was triggered. I read about this having a lot of false-positives, but keep in mind that sometimes the anti-surge doesn't even trigger; my screen just goes completely black and makes the disconnected noises. Very annoying. Is it most likely my power supply?

It is their fault. They're the morons storing payment info for absolutely no reason. I fully support a boycott of this airline.

Expenses for what? Installing a new open source networking stack? I wasn't talking at all about hardware in my previous post.

This can easily be done with Linux, Using Intel's DPDK. It's an extremely fast networking stack.

drop tcp any any -> 192.168.1.5 80 (msg:"GET Request flood attempt"; \ flow:to_server,established; content:"GET"; nocase; http_method; \ detection_filter:track by_src, count 30, seconds 30; metadata: service http;) I would like to use something like this above ^. If a single host sends more than 30 packets in 30 seconds, all excess packets will be dropped until the 30 seconds are over, etc. All I'm wondering is if it would provide more throughput than something like fail2ban would, or NGinx's application rate limiter.

I would expect something like Snort or Suricata to have a higher throughput than something like fail2ban.

Wouldn't the reverse proxy designed to do this do the same though? Essentially you're just rate limiting the packets, but Snort seems to out perform nginx reverse proxy in terms of packets per second.

How effective would it be to put a snort appliance in front of a web server and have it rate limit and drop attack packets? The reason I'm asking this is because I only see people using it for alert purposes, even during ddos attacks. I'm aware it will be useless in terms of mitigating bandwidth intensive floods.

is this for all server chassis?

How would someone working in a datacenter detect a single dead drive out of hundreds of servers? Obviously they're not going to log into every server and run commands. When a drive dies (on a server chassis), does the indicator light up red?

Short explanation: do something illegal on it, and you'll get caught. The second an aws employee gets a call from the FBI who has a subpoena, they're gonna be shitting bricks, because its the fbi, and they're going to forward them everything they have on you; including your: credit card, IP address used to connect to the remote server, IP address used to register the account, your full name on file, your address, phone number, etc.
