Hi,
Could anyone give me some recommendations on a good mobo/cpu config? I currently have the following salvaged from another system:
- Silverstone 750W Approved PSU 12V ATX v2.2
- 2x IDE Optical Drivers
- 1x 80GB SATA Boot Drive
- Nvidia 6600GT PCI-E card
The above bits were apart of my C2D system (E6600 + Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6). Purchased in Sept 2006, the C2D now refuses to even power up; it does this for a second and shuts down.
I am looking to run Ubuntu in a very light way on the replaced system. Remember, it does not need to be blazing fast ~ I'm more interested in reliability...sick and tired of having hardware dying so often :/
Thanks,
Mike

how does any sane person know which ones are better/worse, compatible/not-so ?!?

I am actually going to run it as a 'torrent' box. Basically, it'll be on 24/7 leeching and seeding torrents. For the past 3 years, my G5 did that, and over the past couple weeks...the Mac Pro.
