A Sad Day in the Vraxx Lab

Well it was bound to happen eventually given the shear uptime that this tiny rig had, slightly more than 2 years of operation. I am sad to announce that my general purpose SFF PC Trowa has bitten the dust. The motherboard shows signs of a short near one of the DIMMs and the board is getting 0 current.

Worry not however, data should be intact so I should be up shortly, soon as I get my new rig. Without further ado, and somewhat earlier than hoped I'll introduce Heavy Arms.

The current layout for Heavy Arms is a Shuttle SN25P chassis, with an AMD Ath64 3500+ processor. 1GB of Mushkin RAM, 300GB WD Caviar SATA drive, a re-used Plextor DVD burner, and its looking like an ATI X300 PCI-X based card.

Downtime aside I hope to have HeavyArms operational by next week.
