My PC and LAN

As of early 2002, my home PC consists of:

• Operating System: WinXP Pro
• Case: CoolerMaster ATC-201 (all aluminum)
• Power Supply: Enermax 350W with PC-controlled fan
• Motherboard: iWill KA-266R with integrated RAID and sound
• CPU: 1.2GHz Athlon overclocked to 1.38GHz (10 x 138MHz @ 1.8V)
• RAM: 256MB PC2100 DDR
• Video: PNY 64MB AGP GeForce3 Ti200
• Drives:
  • 2 IBM 60GB drives w/RAID 1 (mirror)
  • Maxtor 30G backup disk
  • IBM 20GB backup disk
  • Plextor 16/10/40 CD/RW
  • Acer 10/40 DVD
• Wireless access point: Buffalo AirStation
• DSL router: Linksys four-port
• Mouse: Logitech wireless optical
• Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 870

The internal wiring of my PC used to be a cluttered mess. I rewired it to improve the airflow, and my non-overclocked temperatures went from 42/30°C (CPU/case) to 40/28. With overclocking, the temps are 45/28 at idle and 50/28 under load.

Here's a look at the complete network layout.
