Post #158,153 by folkert 6/2/04 3:34:12 PM Reply	Me? I just buy components all the time. Sometimes, it turns out, I magically have enough for another machine. Of course, now I have a problem that I don't wanna cycle my home servers through... as a PII-300 with 512MB would be a horrible overkill of a Firewall machine. And a 900MHz 1.5GB would seems to be WAY overkill for a nfs/music streamer/debian repo/ISO Sanctuary. I already have an XP2500+ I have not yet cycled through yet. I tested it 2 weeks ago, was the processor in my main machine when the MB blew. It passed with flying colors and no smoke being released. /me currently has a Duron 850MHz, Thunderbird 900MHz and an XP2500+ laying around doing nothing. Not enough to build a machine... but getting there. I need a good cheap motherboard right now for the 900MHz. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* I've decided to become a perfectionist. That way I'll have more reasons to hate people. Your recycled electrons annoy me. Please use new electrons.

These days it doesn't even take a new version of Windows. Their computers get bogged down with a few worms and some scumware and they want an "upgrade" and aren't going to be happy until they get one. I've learned from long experience not to fight this - just give them what they want or someone else will. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Product of a warped imagination, and Google to flesh it out. -NT - (altmann) - June 2, 2004, 07:49:10 PM EDT

But that ain't got nothin' to do with the HD - (Yendor) - June 2, 2004, 03:42:16 PM EDT

Actually, everything can be perfectly OK . . - (Andrew Grygus) - June 2, 2004, 09:07:23 PM EDT
