I don't know what kind of power the system needs to have, but that seems like enough for a server.

What was the old one? I thought I remembered it being a Pentium 4, which means you got a ton of mileage out of it.


It was a P4 3.2Ghz with 2 gigs ram. Intel Aus board--AGP video--I only have 2 spare video cards, and they are AGP, so I'd have to buy all new video card, ram, etc.. The HD is EIDE too. (but pretty new).

I'm just thinking about ordering the same MB off eBay.. I don't wanna ask for more than I really need. I have a Geforce 4600 Ti in the server--and I did that on purpose to keep the temps in the machine down--no need for a grand video card in a server. I push CPU and ram for power only--speedy IWF :)

We have $100 now btw, will update counter in a sec.

Maybe theres a very cheap PCI-E video card that will run cool--will check new egg today. (I slept for 13 HOURS btw!!!) wow.. (was up for 28) lol craazzzy!

I could send you a PCI-E graphics card, Z... an ATI x300 that's fan-less...I'd be happy to donate it. You don't want to buy an AGP motherboard if you can help it, believe me...they don't make them anymore, and the people who want them are desperate, so they jack up the price.

I'm guessing that the processor is socket 478 as well, since it's that old...

yup! :)

Ok, that video card would do!! Thanks man!!! That will save us some cash! :)

I'll check MB's on Newegg and Intel CPU/Ram prices!

Sent some more to fatten up the kitty... (stay away, Choc!)

Make it so!

And everyone else, even a buck or two helps. Skip a starbucks... ;)

I'm not sure on the math, but I think skipping the starbucks saves you almost as much as quitting smoking.

I'd send if I could. Job market still isn't too friendly down here.

Ack! Glad we're back up and really sorry to hear what the problems were! ugh! Not sure if we can swing much til the beginning of next month, Z. Hubby just got working again after five months of job hunting and we're still paying some bills... which reminds me, gotta go get the check to the dentist written out...


THANKS to your bro for lending the parts to you!!!!

I'll send some asap. I may not contribute much anymore, but I do enjoy lurking around on occasion :)

Thanks guys!! BTW, I made a slightly different 'Donation Meter' since this is different, and in dire need of replacing the server parts. We're at $122 currently!! If you can help out, please do!! :D

We should be fine for a month or so on this borrowed hardware. But beyond that, be may become neutral evil.. :D lol naa.. but I don't want to borrow it over-long.

Thanks again to my friend. I was at wits end wondering how to get the site up and ask for help at the same time. :) was becoming a bit depressed not seeing IWF up. Missed you guys! :(
