[QUOTE="charlesT, post: 890053, member: 116059"] I am going to keep at least two of them. My one friend is in real need of a computer so I would be willing to spend more than I usually would to get him a computer.O:);D What I plan to do is to get two of them into good running condition. $80 dollars for the hard drives. $0 for linux. For now. Upgrade the ram to 1GB or whatever the maximum is. It will support four RAM slots. How much each slot will handle I don't know. [IMG]http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Wr3EUqZiLiE/SoxEMC-KcLI/AAAAAAAAAB0/6frXoqU_CrI/s720/IMGP1928.JPG[/IMG] Is it possible for me to hook up an external drive and use one of them as a server? I really love Mac's I'm writing this on my first Mac; A MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz 2GB. I would love to have a power house as a desktop. But I don't have all that much money to spend. I am thinking about buying a Mac Mini and "hot rodding" it. :Evil: But I would much rather try to run a super clean Ubuntu of one of these. Would the mobo handle it? I think I am going to stalk the for sale section and try to nab a nice desktop. [/QUOTE]
