&s=bsd
Some upgrades you may want to consider:
+$10 for 80GB SATA HD
+$99 for 1GB (2x512) of DDR2 ECC (2x512 sticks at Crucial.com will run
you ~$280...why not get a free server with your mem purchase?? :-))
+$99 for P4 2.8 GHz with 1MB cache and HyperThreading
Figured it was worthy to pass this on...I've bought a few myself and
just received the first one today. They are slick little machines.
Ready to be a great server or a great desktop (just mod the PCI-E slot
and add a nice video card and buy a sound card!).
Find out more (as well as info on modding...you can run x16 PCI-E cards
in this baby!) here:
