My PC
My PC has been through a lot of changes over the years. As always though, it never has enough power to suit my needs. Maybe an upgrade soon will help, but for now here it is:
Intel P4 2.4GHz 768MB RAM nVidia 6600 w/ 256MB RAM (7) 4" case fans (4 of which have lights) sda1 = 160gb - mount / sdb1 = 160gb - mount /home DVD-RW 19" Wide-screen 1440x900
I try to build a machine that will last me awhile. This computer used to have an AMD 1400 with a Soyo Dragon Plus MB. The processor ran for four years then overheated from the fan being put on backwards. So I had to change it last year. I still have the processor and RAM from the old setup but after a few hours of running it would reboot.
I've been running Ubuntu since 6.10. I don't plan to go back to Windows. I enjoy the power that Linux allows me to have and I have much enjoyed the community that is behind the Ubuntu project.
I'm in the process of getting a MythTV server up and running. I use that wooden bench when working on someone else's computer. This prevents me from having to unhook my own setup to work on someone else's.
