Nothing fancy, really. I have three, 80GB HDD's inside, because at build time, that's all I could afford, since I didn't want to use one single large drive because I liked to test OS's without mucking up one drive with all sorts of partitions.

All I have is my laptop right now (which has been my temporary system for about a year...uhg...), and its recent fucking up of the fan w/heatsink has erdged me into building a desktop within the next couple of months.  This thread will come back alive once I have it.

Also, fucking nerds lol   Overclocked Q6600, I mean come on, r u serial/

Dude I was just saying.  Even I have compiled my own kernel. 

Perhaps I shall give it a try sometime. Probably when I don't have a 10 GiB partition for Ubuntu, with the rest going to Vista.

GTalk. Pidgin supports the protocol, I believe.

GTalk. Pidgin supports the protocol, I believe.

I'm aware of that, as I have it set up to do so. I was wondering more specifically about what his GTalk address was.

Poor choice of words, then.

I understood what he meant; but then again, great minds think alike.

I built my last computer about 2 (little less) years ago the Mobo craped out on me 3 times, so i parted it out and sold it on ebay. It was a decent computer and i made about half the money back and i just took that money to best buy and bought a new tower. i just wanted somthing that would play SC II, Diable 3 and Warhammer online when they come out.
