New Desktop
The desktop support guys just gave me my new desktop (it's a Dell Optiplex). Wiped winblows immediately and I'm sitting here while linux installs. So I'm happy.

I bought a Precions 610 (a dual capable box running Xeons) for $245 (total with shipping, it's in my journal stuff I think) off an auction site. I was able to get a second P-II 400 for $30, a box specific heat sink for $15 (the heat sink that came with it would not fit), and an additional 512MB of ECC registered RAM for $100.
