It's alive with some stuffty test parts I have laying around, running on a amazingly slow IDE 120gb Hard Drive and an ancient as stone Pentium D 820, it functions.



Yes I was too lazy to upload actual screenshots

Plans for future upgrades:

1) Buy SSD
2) Use my spare AM3+ board
3) Buy processor for said board
4) Obtain more DDR3 RAM and or siphon from my current 12gbs
5) Get 1 140mm and 2 120mm fans for improved cooling performance
6) Definitely upgrade the PSU to at least 400 Watts

IDE's aren't as slow as you people claim it is.

I'm trying to find a distribution of RISC OS for my ARM pc. Where can I get one

I say it like it's a lot of money for 500GB of storage space

You pay for speed, not storage. you can get 2 TB HDDs for cheap unless they are WD blacks, in which you are also, again, paying for speed

Want to go cheap? Pick this:

im p sure the 3tb barracuda is notoriously unreliable

[Ninja Decoy]

Yeah, nah, id stick with WD drives instead. Not going to use a seagate drive, especially one that at such a large size will have a high chance of dying.
