Thanks for the insightful info. I bought a nice big OCZ 850W PSU and Antec case which I was going to outfit with similar as described (I priced at local Barrhaven stores). However, given I'm following the Russian philosophy of poverty-driven computing, I don't own a laptop and likely can't afford a new motherboard until the Kremlin writes me a cheque for $2million USD and brings about an era of world-peace. Until then, I'm battening down the hatches and digging in for a prolonged battle of the Platforms. Even if my best system is only an AMD64, and I don't have an AM2 yet, I'm still alive and the chances of paying my rent are high. All the techs are so lucky, lets all pray that the 486 users in Moscow are compiling away happily on Slackware and avoiding the state-subsidised alcohol. Now if only someone could tackle Reiser4 code clean-up/factoring! Or am I just a sucker for the experimental codebase? DragonFly anyone?
