RE: Node 0

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Lee,

What I was actually looking for was advice as t  what PC t  use where i.e.
would it be better t  use the highest spec as the server at Node 0 (HV
controller, CCTV, Web Server etc. etc)or use the lower spec as the server
and use the higher spec as my workstation, that sort of thing.

I will eventually chase the cable's int  the walls but I think I might be
able t  run the cables down disused chimney's, not sure of the legalities
or
wise ness of this ploy but the chimney's are disused including next doors.
I
have an end of terrace house with a corridor leading t  the rear of my
property between my house and next door, so the chimney's are separate
although I suspect they join on the roof t  the pot's?

In the loft conversion I have a strange brick tunnel going down a way (not
sure how far as rubble in it that I cannot reach(yet)) built ont  the
chimney stack, anyone know what this is for? seems might be a good ready
built cable duct?

Thanks anyway.

B.
