I'm building a cheap box, to be used mainly for folding, hopefully running Linux diskless...this is only the 2nd box I've built from scratch and it doesn't work so now I'm not too confident in my abilities. Here are the specs: Soyo SY-KT600 Dragon Plus v2.0 (from a cheap fry's deal) AMD...

Retail AMD Sempron 2800+ with an unspecified-brand via kt333 mobo for $100, no rebate http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4222204 Looks like a good deal to me...Newegg sells the OEM 2800+ alone for the same price as this combo. The mobo is bound to be crap, but there's always ebay. This would...

I have Mandrake running alone on my drive right now, and I'd like to have a dual-boot setup with Windows XP. I've been googling for a long time now and all I've found are tutorials showing how to install linux on a drive with XP already installed. What's going on...is it more difficult to add XP...

Made a killing at Circuit City today..Panasonic DMC-LC50 (specs here) was apparently mismarked as $199 - $100MIR = $99. I've been looking for an inexpensive camera lately, so I couldn't pass this one up. The clerk thought something was wrong with the price, so she called the manager. The manager...

Alright...so I was going to wipe a new storage drive clean before I formatted it. I used "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda1 bs=1M". This should have worked fine...except sda1 was the wrong drive :(. I immediately stopped it once I realized it, but it was too late; the first 8MB of my root...

They've been crazy with their deals on drives lately. Here are this weekend's: WD 80GB 7200rpm 8MB buffer: $69.99 - $30MIR = $39.99 WD 74GB Raptor: $199.99 - $30MIR = $169.99 (good deal, but newegg is $5 cheaper) Hitachi 250GB 7200rpm 8MB buffer: $219.99 - $120MIR - $20MIR = $79.99 :eek...

Alright...so I imaged my original copy of XP Home (on an IDE RAID-0) to my new WD Raptor 36GB. It almost got to the login screen, then froze. I repaired the installation from the boot disk. Now it gets to the loading screen (the one with the progress bar) and immediately restarts while the...

Saw this one in a Fry's ad yesterday, I don't have the ad anymore but I'm 98% sure I remember this one right. $99.99 - $30MIR = $69.99. Not sure if it's SATA or IDE, probably IDE. Haven't verified it at the store, don't know how long the offer is going to last.
