Ah… normalcy perhaps?

Well, the site should be back to being normal now. The new hardware for the server is installed and things are looking good. 🙂
So, last I mentioned the situation it was a dying video card fan. (this after the dead PSU fan.) Well, as it turns out, the dead PSU fan had a bit of collateral damage. That damage being its motherboard. Some portion of the chipset on the board is unhappy now. (which advertises itself in the form of the PCI network card disconnecting, USB bus problems, and random crashing on everything from video to file copies.) Of course, this being a Dual P3-1ghz system, replacing the motherboard alone isn’t exactly an option.. so..
Tazdevil got the following new hardware… 🙂
Abit NF8-V Pro (Socket 754/nVidia nForce 3 250gb chipset motherboard, w/ Gigabit Ethernet and Audio OnBoard)
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (2.4ghz, Socket 754)
1GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (DDR400)
nVidia GeForce FX 5500 (AGP 8x) – Dual-Display + TV Out. (to replace the card with the dead fan)
Antec Smartpower 350w ATX PSU (m/n: SL350) (replace the dead PSU)
Some of the old hardware will go to mysticowl to beef up that system. (should make Suse 9.3 happier too.)
The full specifications of both machines as it stands now are updated on the Network page.
