As I type this, I still have the cover off my computer because I am not sure if I want to go with 3 hard drives and my CD burner, or go 2 hard drives, my CD burner, and a new CD reader (not actually new, but it is a 32x that still works). While the burner could take up the slack of the missing reader, I'm not sure if that is a great idea because it is a used burner and I don't want to over work it to death with trivial read operations. But at the same time, having 10 gigs of hard drive space is really nice (though I still haven't partitioned it yet... can't decide if I want more Linux or FAT32 space)
The nerd's problems....

Ah, the wonders of having an SCSI system...
AMD Athlon 1700, true clock speed 1500
512 MB RAM
Asus A7V266E mobo
Soundblaster 512 PCI
Asus NVIDIA GForce something or other 64 MB card
Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller
IBM 36GB SCSI harddrive
Maxtor 60GB IDE harddrive
Plextor 40Plex SCSI CD ROM drive
Cherry standard Windows keyboard
Typhoon ambidextrous cordless optical mouse
Multiscan no clue 17" 61 kHz CRT monitor

So, how many of those threads does that make?

I have this 16 megahertz 386 beast lying in pieces somewhere in my garage.....maybe i should fix it and fire that baby up..

(Christmas HDD deals were a great boon to me. I can't fit any more IDE drives in, so any expansion will have to be SATA (still have 3 ports open) or I'll have to give up smaller drives)

usable?
300mHz Celeron

Only problems are, A. it's missing the mouse and B. I have no idea how to navigate using the keyboard on a Mac. I've figured out how to open and close windows, though, so I've discovered that it has an ancient version of Monopoly from MacPlay (a division of Interplay) on it.

Navigating via the keyboard on a Mac running System 7.1 is virtually impossible.
