Time to buy a new computer




My nice HD crashed taking / along with it.  Not just any crash mind you,
this one you can actually hear the heads crash into the platter(s).  Not a
nice sound btw.

Anyways... If anyone has any thoughts, let me know.  Jason, I know you
like some case mfg?  Do you still like the G400Maxx?

Right now I'm figuring dual 650E FC-PGA CuMine's overclocked to 866Mhz on
either an Abit BP6 (BX chip) or Tyan Tiger 133 (Via Apollo 133A chip).
Either solution is going to require some kind of adapter card for the CPU
to the mobo and a serious cooler.  Should be fun.  :)  Slap in 512MB PC133
RAM and an UDMA66 disk or two and it should fly.  (Sorry world, SCSI right
now isn't a cost option.)  Prolly go with the G400 and a SB Live card.
