Went to collect a computer from ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ruudboy yesterday. It didn't enjoy the journey home and wouldn't POST. I ended up taking it all apart and found a loose screw between the motherboard and the case. It now has Ubuntu Hardy on it.
The drive in there is 200G though, which seems like overkill. My music drive is 80G and full. I'm considering putting a smaller drive in the box, and formatting the 200G drive and using it as a new music drive. I'll re-rip my music, and then copy across the music on the music drive I don't have on CD.
The machine is an athlon 3000, so better than my current little shuttle. It has some kind of 128MB radeon card in it which runs compiz. I think I'll swap in the 512MB Nvidia card and some more RAM. It'll probably get my audigy too.
I've re-used one of my old computer names, this box is colossus, named after a WW2 machine. The last computer I had called that was a duron 750 which was used for Radio Radio as a media store. |
