It is time for me to build a new PC. I like having to build one, gives me one of those warm and fuzzy feeling and lets me say to myself I can still use a screwdriver.
Looking for a main board, Don't do games but maybe in 2016 I will upgrade to one of the nice high resolution monitors and will want to keep a 2nd monitor. I have a smaller scanner that has Firewire (and USB 2 but can not keep up with the data rate). So at least one PCI-E slot, the old MB I have uses a PCI card but I dont mind getting a adpater board if I have to. BTW my two big scanners are SCSI-2 (with SCSI-3 capable interfaces) but I have a older server PC for them. One maxes out SCSI-2. Someday like to have a PC for the scanners since the server PC puts out about the same sound level then when your at PDX getting on board a puddle jumper. Here is a crappy part, I may want to dual boot. I have some industrial and control software that only run under Windoz. Price is an object but not top on the list, a good solid running board is. I like buying from Newegg but don't have to. Suggestions ? Success or failure stories ? -pete _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
