Ouch. $200+ before installation, and I'd still have a computer some Linuxes don't like.
Expensive board. Is this at home? I got a Gigabyte board and Core I-3
Yes. It's the only computer I've owned with either a hard drive or more than 8K of memory.
I've used others.
combo at MicroCenter for under $200, I think. "Installation"? Hey, we're sysadmins, we build our own systems! <g>
What's this "we"? I've opened the case three times and done four things: I've installed a new hard drive. The old one is still working. I've zapped the original video card, AGP. I've blown dust. I've had someone else install new RAM.
When I get up the nerve to open it again, I'll blow dust and look for misplaced intestines.
In the mean time, I'll boot back to CentOS and see how long it lasts.
You may want to check the bios for some settings. I recently fixed some issues with my server system here at home (gen 1 i7 920) by turning ACPI 2.0 off. I first replaced the power supply but that did improve the situation from disk errors once every day or 2 to once every 5 days. Make sure you have the latest bios as well.
