I used to overclock my old Celeron 266 to 466mhz. It was in an old Abit motherboard and after 8 years of constant overclocking, it finally died. In the process of dying it scortched the PCB around the socket turning the yellow to a light brown. Can't overclock any modern stuff like that anymore. I'd like to see your NAS tuned as far as it can go without self destructing. Good Luck!

Damn. That case looks wild clean. i absolutley love it. It makes the motherboard look modern

Damnnnn you run a 25 years old platform?? very sexy case though!

Very cool project, can't wait to see the progress. That's a great case and I would want to keep it in service for longer too!

Nice seeing old PC being used in modern setting. I like using old PC as NAS for backup, that syncs with main NAS for making backup once in a while.

SUPER cool!! Keep it up!

I'm kinda jealous. Can't wait to see part 2.

That is one really pretty case.

This is awesome, keeping the old tech going strong!

So neet! My deep respect for this very build and keeping it alive. As for network performance (may not be the issue in your case but) try to enable "FlowControl" on your NIC both NAS and PC. Strange enough but that supposedly outdated long ago technology improved gigabit performance in some cases. Both with full-fledged enterprise equipment also with home-made NAS and PCs. Some really wierd stuff really.

Had problems with nas performance on Intel g2010 (1155) about 10 years ago, was targeting 1 Gb speeds. Ended up swapping in i5 2500. Looking forward to what you can squeeze from this old platform. The case looks fantastic!

My hp t620 squeezes in 100MB/s(SMB/windows shares), 50MB/s(sftp), got the weaker 2 core variant. The difference likely comes purely down to lack of AES acceleration in G2010.

Wonderful work on your retro NAS! Genuinely curious just how far it can go. I have an old PowerPC based NAS unit I use for my retro Windows network, but I'd be curious what I could get out of a Pentium 3 based system instead perhaps now!

Goddamn it's very intriguing, I never heard about that socket at all😮

I remember having the same cpu and watching it stomp all over Intels` best efforts for years 😆

Yes

Have you ever considered to try a BSD on that NAS? Nice case!

Thanks! Yes, I actually did try FreeBSD and NetBSD, but both of them had their drawbacks. For the things I've planned a Linux distribution with continued i586 support will be the best option.

Max read/write of PCI bus is the real problem, and your motherboard... is on borrowed time.

You're absolutely right and I was fully aware that the shared bandwidth of the PCI bus will be the major bottleneck. That's why I already figured out a workaround. Stay tuned to find out, what I've come up with to tackle this hurdle.

Kind of, if you look closely you might already find a few hints ;)

Ich liebe alte Hardware und dass sie auch heute noch genutzt wird. Weiter so! Du könntest auch mal testen ob ein USB2_to_Ethernet Adapter schneller ist als deine verwendete Netzwerkkarte. Debian sollte diese sofort erkennen. Hmmm, in welchem Kellerschrank liegt denn noch mein alter Pentium 2 rum...

Ein Pentium 2 System ist sicherlich auch ein guter Kandidat für Spielerein dieser Art. Mit dem richteigen Adapter im AGP Slot und übertaktetem FSB sollten sich da ganz gute Ergebnisse erzielen lassen. In einen USB auf Ethernet Adapter würde ich nicht allzu große Hoffnungen setzen. Um mit so wenig Rechenleistung hohen Durchsatz zu erreichen, sind Server Netzwerkkarten, die durch Offload Engines die CPU entlasten die beste Wahl.

power consumption?

Idles below 20W. K6-3+ is a mobile CPU and clocked down to 200 MHz if cpufreq is setup correctly.

ahhh... The Germans, sure thing they have a fetish to torture themself, in this case, using a NAS slower than CPU on modern home Router.

I wouldn’t say, that fortitude is a typical german thing. Most people here actually have a pretty low threshold of pain these days.
