Just after 5:00 today I heard some sort of sharp crack out of the corner by my server box. I thought I'd just knocked something over at first, but then all of a sudden my network drive just quit working. I opened up the box and found this:
One of the retention clips just snapped clean off & killed my dual P3 Linux box. Blasted cheap platic heatsink clip. I figured "It's a retail sink. It'll be fine." BZZT. Wrong.
Forced upgrade time I guess. I'd gotten a bit lazy about doing anything with the server since it was working just fine. At least I've got a spare AXP 2600+, mobo, and 1GB of PC2700 lying around doing nothing.
