My new toy. (Nerd alert! - non techs, move along)

[Supracentral]

I'm moving the office, so lots of new toys in the near future.

The first of them got here today.

I just got it assembled:

Cisco Catalyst 4510R
10 Slot Chassis
Redundant Power
Dual Supervisor V Engines
POE/Fiber Blade
6 x 48 Port 10/100/1000 blades

And I got it for just a little over $50K

What is it?

 

[johnathan1]

Umm...what is it? Some kind of networking thingy?

 

[Supracentral]

It's the core switch for my network.

288 Gigibit speed ethernet connections
6 fiber optic connections
6 power over ethernet connections

*drooooooooool*

 

[MK3Brent]

But can it play solitaire?

 

[BlackMKIII]

:drool: Nice. Was it a PITA to assemble?

Gigabit speed FTW.

 

[iwannadie]

It makes the porn fast.

 

[Ckanderson]

so.... can you play games or wut?

 

[suprarx7nut]

Best Buy for Business apparently carries that too, (according to Cnet shopper) but its only 10grand. Did you mean 5k, instead of 50k?

I dont really know anything about these what-so-ever, so I may be missing something huge. :dunno:

 

[Kai]

If only i could justify just having one of those...like all geeks, i dont care that its useful, only that its sufficiently SHINY

 

[Puppy Eater]

might be a wild guess but... is this why you were polling for a supramania dedicated game server?

 

[Poodles]

so this mean the gaming server is coming along?

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

wait... it costed HOW MUCH?

 

[SupraMario]

:squirt-mo :squirt-mo

 

[MDCmotorsports]

In all seriousness, is this a $50k object that is "obsolete" in 2 years?

 

[buckshotglass]

It's about pre tax dollars, I bet.

 

[SupraMario]

In all seriousness, is this a $50k object that is "obsolete" in 2 years?

no, like 6 months, but who cares.

 

[Syris]

When it comes to Servers....Not so much IMO, that they do become obsolete like the rest of the computer side of it. Yes they do but not as near quickly as the regular components do

CISCO ftw!!!!!
