Thermodyne, your comp is dream of any computer tinkerer...

I had a long time ago a monster computer that i build using several old boards and processors, if i remember well it was 3 486-66mhz and 2 Pentium 133 with every board networked with the others and a stripped down version of Win95 in every HD (they ranged from 500mb up to 2gb in one of the pentiums)... my idea was to create a gaming network to play DukeNuken3D and other games, and i plugged monitors and keyboards in every ne of them.... i and me fried gave it the name of "Frankie" because it was a whole mess of cables, boards and eletrical discharges... i lost it to an eletrical surge that fried the majority of the boards...

Your machine looks like a big brother of my old "Frankie", minus the monitors and keyboards...

hummm, lets see what bits and pieces i have around here to see if i can build something.....

Carefull my friend MAkinus, don't frie yourself. That would be... less desirable.

btw, don't forget to send me a message when SE V comes available.

Thermodyne, I totally owe you a burrito now. I wonder if its possible to find RAM disks these days, since normal HDs are so cheap. I would like to find a RAM disk that uses SATA, that would be sweet. I'm sure if I was an electronics whiz, I get a controller and rig it up.
