And Eventually, I'll keep her around as a doc processor/packet sniffer.

The plan is, GF wants to help me build a custom, When I get home I'll link the parts I've looked at possibly getting for it, keep in mind I have fairly limited funding, hence me still using this glorified heater.

E-Machine
Unknown motherboard
756mb DDR1 Ram
Nvidia 8400Gx
130gb SCSI HDD
Belkin Wireless G Adapter( "Borrowed" Internet <3)
Win XP/Ubuntu 10.04? Dual-booted
DVD-Writer(internal)
DVD-Writer(External)
Floppy Drive(internal)
CD-Writer(internal)
Compaq keyboard
Dell Monitor (dunno the size)
and I play stuff like Eve Online, Dead Frontier and any and all mech games.

Now, my wireless connection tops out at 2 bars and scales anywhere from 42mbps to 1mbps depending on how it feels, the linux has been broken twice due to kitten unplugging powerbar during update installation and the XP refuses to be formatted, has NO firewall and is missing its taskbar, it essentially has nothing but the start button, the quick launch bar and a fan that is trying WAY too damn hard. Also the C Drive takes 3 seconds to find itself XD

I did a CPU temp reading when I booted it, and it was running at like 70o O__o

And I play minecraft

Flame on <3
