What's been going on recently? Well, I bought this new motherboard thinking that, well, it supports my chosen CPU, it has enough PCI slots and . . . various other things . . . yep, sounds good. I spend Thursday night ripping out old motherboard and putting in new motherboard / CPU / RAM. Oh! But wait a sec - that power supply has a really old skool connector - it don't fit. A motherboard without electricity isn't much use. Fortunately, my mum's old PC had a fairly modern PSU that I was able to pilfer and attach to new PC. So, we're cooking on gas . . . or similar. It is only much later on, once I've got the graphics cards working and all the memory recognised by the operating system that I kind of realise, "Hey! Where am I supposed to plug in those old IDE drives?" For this motherboard has no IDE sockets. Hmmmm. So that's about where I am. I've constructed a Frankenstein PC out of the old PC and plugged in all the old IDE drives and now need to create some kind of basic NFS-enabled operating system to share out said IDE drives. I'm sure I'm meant to rant on and on and on about weddings and colour schemes or something.
