My previous system burnt out is CPU various other bits in January, Reboot checked it over and disposed of it for me. On their recommendation I took out the hard-drives and went to a local independent computer store that builds to order and got them to build me a linux compatible box with an AMD CPU, (my preference) and future proof it as far as possible. They checked that all the separate components were linux friendly and that they would all be linux friendly together, built me a 64bit machine with extra fans for a little over £250·00, (on board graphics), and that included a large case so I could get my hands in it to change drives etc. You may have to have sata drives, as boards have moved on since I had the last one built. I was pleasantly surprised by their interest in building a linux friendly machine. -- John Seago GNU/Linux Registered User No. #219566 http://counter.li.org/ () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ - against microsoft attachments _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
