Keeping Your Old Computer Useful
Filed under Technology
I saw this great post over at Tech Soup today. It talks about how to extend the usable life of your computer. I’m currently doing this with the computer that I’m trying to setup as a file/print server for us at home. I bought a Western Digital 120GB hard drive for $20 (after rebate), I had a spare AGP video card laying around at home, I just bought 512MB RAM on eBay (a nice increase from 64MB), and just added an ATA/133 PCI controller card from eBay. When it’s all said and done, I’ll probably have spent $80 to upgrade a 7+ year old computer and extend it’s life for at least another 3 years.

Today, over at Surviving Grady, he posted a transcript of what R. Lee Ermey would say to the Red Sox concerning their current play. Good times, indeed.
