I was going to do some IT consulting for a friend’s uncle, and the first thing he had me do was take care of this server that wasn’t working. I got the problem down to a bad motherboard, and when I asked him how he wanted me to take care of it, he never got back to me. I had this server sitting in my room for months, when in february I decided to ask him again and the email bounced – turns out the company went under. I had to replace my own motherboard at the time, so I figured I’d put my old one in that machine and see what happened; it didn’t work because the power supplies were different.
Today I went over to microcenter and bought myself a power adapater, and put the two hard drives as well as the memory from the server into my machine. My computer now has an Athlon 64 3500+ Processor with 2GB of Ram and 330 GB hard drive space.
And it only cost me $7 for the cable
