Picked up a Dell Dimension L100R for free. Has parallel and serial ports, 1 Ghz Socket 370 PIII with 512K cache (better than the 256K version) and will have 512 meg PC133 once I find another 256 meg stick it likes. I have a couple it sees as only 32 meg. (512 is max for this model.)
I put an 80 gig hard drive in, have a CD-RW to replace the CD-ROM and need to find a PCI video card instead of using the built in video that cuts out a hunk of main RAM. This is a tiny little box, couldn't get much smaller without squeezing it sideways and putting the optical drive in on edge. For the big plasma table I have a mpc ClientPro 365. Much more muscle to it so it'll be able to handle XP + Mach3 and run the CAD and other software. All the little Dell will be doing is running LinuxCNC on the torch arm. Going to try and get Ned to go on a shopping trip to get components for that when he gets back from Utah. Found a surplus shop that has 4040 T-slot extrusion for $2.49 a foot, plus various sizes of cable carrier and plenty of other good stuff. I want to get that torch going first to cut some pieces for the big table's gantry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
