Ouch. $200+ before installation, and I'd still have a computer some Linuxes don't like.
Yeah, probably better to get something that is likely to run for 10 more years than to squeeze another year out of something old.

Clean bill from memtest86 running overnight.
Like I said, I had one that ran clean for 3 days, then caught the intermittent RAM error that was causing the problem. But, if I hadn't already had a pile of similar RAM to swap in, I would probably have been ahead to trash the old box anyway. It just happened to be the only large tower case I had with an 8 port SATA controller and room for a lot of disks and I like using it for backups.
The memory is the newest part of the computer. After rebooting, it crapped out twice in half an hour. After that, I went back to F14.
Are you saying it never crashes with fedora but it does with centos?
