Yet more new computers

     Mitch and Aymon both gave up on a old Dell PowerEdge 4200 server which I am currently working on getting set up with Fedora core linux. I have to do some weird modding though, cause it takes dual cartridge processors, and I happened to have a matching 266MHz catridge processor sitting in my basement... go figure. Anyway, the issue is that the motherboard provides no power source for the built-in fan on the said catridge processor, so I'm forced to fuck up the cables to get them to connect properly to a different sized slot. Either way this looks like it promises to be a fun venture in Kit land: So stay tuned!

Specs:
Dual Pentium II 266MHz cartridge processors
512MB of RAM
Six 8gig scsi RAID hard drives, four of which are broken
A really loud annoying alarm on the scsi controller which goes off if one of the HDs are dead (note: I disabled it but GOD WAS IT ANNOYING)
Dual power supply
2 ethernet cards, a cdrom, and a floppy
Here some quick pics (this thing is a MONSTER! probably a foot wide, one and a half feet long, and a foot and a half tall):

     On an unrelated note scuzzstuff.org is up and running albiet without some of the more frivolous features up yet. All old links will now point to it (games.kitkorp.com, scuzzstuff.tk now auto-redirect you to scuzzstuff.org). Enjoy.
