PBW in the market for some new hardware

[geoschmo]

Fancy video card isn't really neccesary. I don't even have a monitor hooked up to it most of the time. I haven't looked at the specs on the MB Thermo is sending yet, but if it's got any sort of onboard video that will likely be sufficent.

I'd like to get a good writeable CD or DVD drive so I can start doing more regular backups. Those have really come down in price lately though so that shouldn't be too hateful for me to get on this end somewhere if noone has one.

I'll have to look at the memory in the current server. If that's what we need I could always move that over.

I'm guessing the box Thermo is sending already has a power supply in it.

The current server has a 40GB HDD, and I think Thermo said the new one will have two of those. I think that will probably be more then enough hard drive for the foreseeable future.

Of course donations are always accepted if anyone would like to do something like that Slykny.

Floppy Drive yes, and possibly a CD-RW too. Not sure but I may even have a larger HDD that's not being used too. I'll check what I have when I get back home (on vacation right now).

I've also got some RAM sticks but I'm not sure what I've got until I get home to check too. I have a feeling that they are smaller though 256 max. But they are DDR.

The mainboard has an onboard NVidia video chip and onboard LAN. It has sound too, for what it's worth.
