COLUGgers --
I have a no-name desktop system which *was* working until the hard
drive started "clicking".
Got this beater from a friend who asked me to wipe it. So I installed
Linux over Windoze. Worked. (Not for certain grades of forensics, I
know. But that's a whole nutha story.) When I told him the deed was
done, he said to keep the machine. (He in turn was disposing of it
for someone else and simply wanted any personal data destroyed.) So I
named it "wipeout" (cute, eh?) and used it in some IPv6 investigation.
I have *never* opened the case, so it could have a decade of dust.
Before the disk failed, it was convenient as a throw-down server. At
this point, I do not recall how much RAM it has nor the processor
grade. Never paid attention to the graphics capability.
Lemme know if you're interested. I'd drop a working disk in it if I
were not in purge mode.
