Ok, now i dont want to get into a big debate about why I am going INTEL...I am just curious as to what you think of the 810E chipset.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

ok then the 810e sounds good to me....

I'm planing on building 2 small footprint machines to use as servers. Using the case from the 'small foot print pc' that I found for my cousin.

1 box will be a linux machine (slackware) for Firewall/NAT (the machine will be overkill form what its doing)

the second box will be a novell 4 server. Just for storage and crap. In reality these are both just excuses to learn a new OS.

pentium huh? that's too bad... good luck with your new systems. It sounds like a lot of fun what you're doing.

cruelpupet

yup, it should be big fun...and cheap too!

about $100 for the 2 cases
$40 for 2 floppies and cdroms
$80 fro two celron 2 600mhz chips (i only need a p75 for the linux, and even thats more than enough)
$100 fro 2 motherboards.
$50 for 2 more 128mb sticks (i already have 1 spare 128mb, and a friend is giving me one)

I already have the hard drives, NIC's, modems, etc...

After having 3 i810 based MB's die on me, I have sworn off it for life.

2 Tyan s2054s and one Toshiba OEM.

All three would not post after running a short period of time. The longest was 1 month, the shortest was 2 hours.

It may just be my rotten luck but I decided that enough is enough.

cruelpupet

yeah but since these will be my 3rd and 4th system, I decided that i wanted to go with the super slim case (NLX form Factor).

cruelpupet

well i hope i have better luck with the ones made by intel....but it was for gateway

guess ill look for a backup
