ignore the suse icon, its ubuntu/mint all the way i just dled a suse them coz i though it was sexy

Some of my equipment (from left to right):

- hp Pavilion dv2108ea, brand new.

- modified Medion PC: Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 600 GB disks, 2 x DVD-writers, plenty of USB and Firewire disks on top of the chassis. This is my main machine.

- Sony VAIO C1 VFK sub-laptop, Crusoe CPU, 192 MB RAM, 20 GB disk, external PCMCIA CD-RW burner, MemoryStick slot ... not really a fast machine, but you can't beat it's ridiculous small size. I use this little machine mainly for network sniffing jobs in crammed server rooms or similar stuff. A mobile worker's dream would come true if they made faster machines small like this one!

- hp OmniBook 4150B ... Intel Pentium III 450 MHz, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB disk, DVD-ROM ... my lab rat: Whatever wacky thing I test, I first test it there. This was also the first of my machines to taste LinuxMint

I have 5 or so more machines, but they are not visible on the photo.

Thanks mate ... I just downloaded it too

Nothing fancy, just an Ultra Micro Fly case and some old parts (P-4 1.6) that I put together during the holidays. Works well and doesn't take up much space. I hope to upgrade the monitor before long. One of 5 computers for the 4 of us, the only one with Linux (so far). The only item from MS is the keyboard!

These are nice cases with plenty of room, for less than $40 with a 400 watt power supply.

Is that a carrying grip underneath the CD/DVD drive?

Yes. A plastic handle folds out from just below the blue temperature indicator. The case is fairly large for a small form factor and cooling is very good (2 case fans included - 120 mm in back). Fits any micro ATX board.

Now that's useful I wish my rigs had that ... that would make moving them far far easier

Ok mine isn't this old but sometimes it feels like it http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ajgsz ... _117cdzg5c can the case with the p/s and carry strap still be had
