Hi,
My 2GHz 32-bit Athlon workstation box with its paltry 1GB RAM and no
PCIe slots is starting to show its age. Time perhaps to re-commission it
as a loungeroom MythTV appliance and upgrade to a new workstation.
Does anyone know where one might be able to acquire a box with:
- quad-core CPU (preferably 3GHz+)
- 4GB DDR2 RAM
- mix of PCI and PCIe slots
- mix of SATA2 and IDE ports
- 400W+ PSU
- 10/100/1Gbps onboard LAN
- onboard sound
for significantly south of a grand?
No drives or other peripherals required - I'll recycle my old ones.
OTOH, I could pay maybe a hundred or two more if it came with 64-bit sid
preinstalled.
All positive suggestions appreciated.
Cheers
David
