DNS Adbock on router
In case you have, like me, a secodary dns on your DD-WRT router, you need a dns adblock on it too. By modifying the excellent tutorial from http://www.howtogeek.com/51477/how-to-remove-advertisements-with-pixelserv-on-dd-wrt/ I came to this script:

logger_ads "The attempt to create $3 softlink to RAM on JFFS *FAILED*"
logger_ads "it is obvious something IS *terribly wrong*. Will now exit... bye (ads will not be blocked)"

Using Intel AMT’s embedded VNC server
To activate it, press Ctrl-P at the BIOS - this brings you to the MEBx menu, set a password (minimum 8 characters, mixed case, numbers and special characters are enforced - try to avoid #@$% - use star or exclamation), configure the network settings (DHCP, or static - it can even match the OS’s IP address!), enable Remote KVM and disable User Opt-In.
in order to set it up, download the Intel AMT SDK from http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-software-development-kit-sdk/ extract the ZIP and open ./Windows/Intel_AMT/Bin/KVM/KVMControlApplication.exe. (I had to install .net 2.0 in my wine in order to be able to run it.)
There, you can enable KVM by clicking "Edit Machine Settings" as seen in the following screenshot:
KVM Status can either be set to
-“redirection ports” (meaning it will only be accessible to clients that specifically support Intel AMT, such as RealVNC Viewer Plus or Intel’s KVM Console, the former of which costs $100, the later constantly overlays a RealVNC logo on the screen), or to
-“default port” (meaning it will be accessible on TCP port 5900 with any VNC client), or to
-“all ports” (which is the combination of both).
If you enable VNC access, you will also need to set an RFB Password. Warning, the password gets truncated at 8 characters but at the same time has the security requirements identical to the general AMT password (Capital, small letter, number and special-character - WARNING: underscore is not special char, @$%&| are NOT allowed, choose star or exclamation to play safe).
If you disabled User Opt-In in the MEBx menu, you can disable it here as well.
Now you can use almost any VNC client you like (KRDC, Real, Ultra, and Tight VNC works fine, while TigerVNC seems to be unable to auth, and Apple Remote Desktop appears to cause the VNC server to freeze - it's Apple crap, what do you expect?).
Two things worth mentioning:
1: the initial BIOS splash screen is not visible during a KVM connection (not even on a directly-attached screen), so to get to the BIOS, you needed to blindly hit the F10.
2: it is not possible to enter the MEBx menu during a KVM connection (probably for security reasons), if you hit the corresponding CTRL+P key, it immediately exits and continues normal boot; if you establish a KVM connection while already in MEBx, you get disconnected immediately.
If you’re building a home server, you should definitely consider getting system with Intel vPro/AMT 6.0 or later, you get ILO-like remote management capabilities for free.
Oh yeah, http://your_machine:16992 gives you access to logs, power control, network setup, users, exactly the same way ILO does!
And of course the OS has no idea something is running below him, there is no CPU load, on the host netstat shows no other connections except my ssh:
tcp 0 0 192.168.aaa.xxx:22 192.168.aaa.yyy:49506 ESTABLISHED 2314/sshd
while from my workstation we can see a second connection to the VNC port 5900:
tcp 0 0 192.168.aaa.yyy:49506 192.168.aaa.xxx:22 ESTABLISHED 13362/ssh
tcp 0 0 192.168.aaa.yyy:43311 192.168.aaa.xxx:5900 ESTABLISHED 29457/krdc

Error 512 - rear chassis fan not detected on a Small Form Factor
as per hp site:
"Although the HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC has no rear chassis fan installed, this error message may arise when the front panel cable assembly was damaged after a system repair attempt.
In a HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC, Pin10 on the front panel cable connector is used to tell the system BIOS, that the chassis is a Desktop model, not Microtower model. This is necessary because the system board is also used in HP Compaq 8200 Elite Microtower PC, which has a rear chassis fan installed. Pin10 is not connected there.
If the cable on Pin10 of the connector in a HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC was damaged accidently and therefore has no connection to the system board, the BIOS assumes that it is a Microtower model and therefore checks for a rear chassis fan."
There is a problem with the front panel connector:
Let's remove it and look, the pin 10 is not connected while pin 5 (usually unused) it is:
We just need to remove the plug from pin 5 and move it to pin10:
Finally the ground is moved from pin 5 to pin 10:
"Although the HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC has no rear chassis fan installed, this error message may arise when the front panel cable assembly was damaged after a system repair attempt.
In a HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC, Pin10 on the front panel cable connector is used to tell the system BIOS, that the chassis is a Desktop model, not Microtower model. This is necessary because the system board is also used in HP Compaq 8200 Elite Microtower PC, which has a rear chassis fan installed. Pin10 is not connected there.
If the cable on Pin10 of the connector in a HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC was damaged accidently and therefore has no connection to the system board, the BIOS assumes that it is a Microtower model and therefore checks for a rear chassis fan."
There is a problem with the front panel connector:

We just need to remove the plug from pin 5 and move it to pin10:

Recursive owner and rights changing on subfolders
We assume the username==folder_name
the specific version for vista+ profiles:
@echo off
Echo (c) 2012 s@toma.gXXX
Set rprofiles=D:\path\to\profiles
For /f "delims=.V2" %%* in ('dir %rprofiles% /B') Do (
echo target is %rprofiles%\%%*.V2 User is %USERDOMAIN%\%%*
takeown /f "%rprofiles%\%%*.V2" /r
icacls "%rprofiles%\%%*.V2" /setowner %USERDOMAIN%\%%* /T /C
icacls "%rprofiles%\%%*.V2" /grant:r %USERDOMAIN%\%%*:F Administrateurs:F System:F /T
rem dir /B /W "%rprofiles%\%%*.V2"
rem ping -n 1 -w 1000 1.1.1.1 >nul
)
or the simple version:
cd d:\path\to\folders\For /f "Tokens=*" %* in ('dir /B') Do @cacls %* /E /C /T /G "%*":F
