determinedBased on the vintage of the Linux on the machine, the age of the motherboard, failing powersupply and general need to consoludate this and another Linux box who has a few noisy fans into a single machine. I am moving a Giga-Byte GA-8KNXP with 3.2GHz, single core, Hyper-Threaded, 2GB memory into the case, freshening some of the optical drives and adding 2@ 3TB WD Red drives for migration of storage from some of the old IDE drives.
So far I've done a power calculation; and will need a larger powersupply than we have at the house, so with my desire to change some of the fans in the destination case to enhance the quiet in my office and the need to get a much larger power supply, >600 Watts, I will be venturing out into the rainy today...
Hope everyone is well.
...And now coffee! :)
