Either you're a total retard, or someone is deliberately sending you broken hardware as a prank. There's absolutely no way you can lose a dozen hard drives in one machine in 3 years and not have it be PEBKAC (or ID-10-T syndrome.)
You can easily power a dual AMD board on a 350-watt PSU. There are several which are rated to work with the Athlon MP. If you absolutely need a bigger PSU, you can get a 400 or 500 watt PSU for less than $100.
How much more cooling do you need? My dual AMD system has a fan on each CPU and two in the case (one is for the hard drives.)
The PIII is for low power & heat configs
We had problems with our Pentium iii 1u machines overheating at my last job. That made it 'crappy'.
Actually, a comma is required after an introductory prepositional phrase.
Try rearranging the sentence to read "For fuck's sake, come up with something better than this, people" or "People, for fuck's sake, come up with something better than this", and you'll see what I mean.
Uh-huh. 300 gigs. 73% full. I put about 10 gigs a week on it (that's about 8 or 9 3-hour concerts at 16 bits/44.1 KHz). That cost me about $1000 to build back in November of last year, and I'm currently looking at 4 160 gig Maxtor drives to fill the remaining 4 slots of my 3ware card.
Now, I may be an extreme case, but I know plenty of people who fill up their hard drives just from the applications and video games they've installed, with a few gigs of of MP3s here and there for good measure. Hell, I throw out 4 gig drives nowadays. I've got 9s and 18s that I don't even use, and about a terabyte of shit online 24/7/365. And it's data I use (MP3s, SHNs, video, 0day juarez, etc), not just shit I keep around for the hell of it (that's all on tape and CD-R.)
Just because you're stuck in 1996 doesn't mean the rest of us haven't found a use for our big hard drives.
By blocking access to SF on this basis, these guys have opened themselves up to a massive restraint-of-trade lawsuit from the multitude of people who depend upon the existence of ubiquitous access to SF for various aspects of their livelihood.
It appears that nobody has been blocking your access to crack, however.
The day someone needs "Gnome 2.0" to function (and works at a place that would block it) is the day I start killing puppies.
"My parent is a fucking dipshit and I'm gonna get the crap kicked out of me on the first day of high school"? I think that's a good name to saddle your kid with for the rest of his or her life, since it accurately describes what their situation will be in a scant few years' time.
Slashdot Mirror
...is not very geeky, but it tends to kick other tee shirt sites' asses.

This is one of the gayest things I've ever seen on slashdot.
They've been running ads, along with UNISYS, for a while now, about a certain offering. Who doesn't expect this to be the focus of their exhibit?
- A.P.
Are you hoping that blatantly female-chauvinist comment will get you laid?
- A.P.
But what kind of freaky geek commune are you going to find that needs 1200 BB connections in a two mile radius?
I donno, but I would hope the FBI/ATF would "take care" of such a cult, like they did in Waco and Ruby Ridge.
I'm not a total retard
I'm just very demanding and trying to make the most of cheap hardware.
Those two statements are in direct conflict with each other.
There is no such thing as "cheap, fast, and good".

Probably nearly all of it, since I own all the CDs on my MP3 server, and all of the SHNs are freely tradeable.

Here's my SHN partition:

Um, dude, in case you haven't noticed, computers have been around since the mid-1940s.
- A.P. (liquid-cooled computing has been around for decades, too.)
Why do Buffy fans act like this show is God's gift to television?
South Park has had witty, intelligent seasons, too, if that's the yardstick by which Emmy-worthy shows are to be judged.

Doesn't anyone know how to use Google anymore?
Or has Ask Slashdot become "Ask Slashdot For Help Using a Search Engine"?

...usually turn out only slightly more grammatically incorrect than the write-ups some of the editors here on Slashdot do.
- A.P.
....the most fucking stupid Ask Slashdot I have ever read.
Do you have any idea the level of complexity involved in rendering realistic movie-quality graphics vs. a fucking game of Unreal Tournament?
Yet another one for the Slashdot-Retarded pile.

This is one of the stupidest comments I've seen in the past few minutes.
They weren't even arrested. They won't be tried, let alone tried as terrorists.
Get real.

Unfortunately, one remote hole is all you need.
Sort of like cock pushups.
Except the rooting is of a different nature.
- A.P.
I don't think that is what the article was saying.
Neither do I, but without a writeup and title like the ones that were given for this story, do you think there'd be 800 comments here?
It's all about provoking the herd mentality to generate banner ad revenue. Stories like this make all three LNUX shareholders happy!

The Xbox isn't reliable? Have you even seen one?
Yes, Cock-knocker, I have. We spent upwards of an hour trying to get the thing to play a DVD. It crashed several times.
And, yes, we had the $35 DVD dongle (another reason to detest the X-Box.)
It's reliable at sucking ass, perhaps.
- A.P.
Maybe we should murder you for such a Slashdot-Retarded comment.

Imagine, you can still play Halo even when your favorite show is on because its being recorded for you to watch after you've blown some shit up.
Imagine losing both the new episode of "The Sopranos" and your high score in Halo because the XBox decided it needed a reboot.
If the damned thing were reliable, maybe your argument would hold water.
- A.P.
Yeah, it would be ridiculous for a UNIX box to allow people to log into it.
OpenBSD can eat a fat dick.
