But it's just a little bit frustrating that the computer works so well w/ Linux, and windows now refuses. <br /><br />It had to be a direct replacement, because in order to boot it up after I replaced the MOBO myself($80 e--bay). the power supply unit was $40 & gfx card was $40. I am a tech, so I did all of the work myself. I used an anti-static strap, like the out of work computer tech. <br /><br />I am. This computer also came with a t.v. tuner card that I can't get working in windows, but mythTV w/ mythbuntu works well. I am planning still to have my desktop do my video editing, because it is the most powerful PC still for video. I was going to use KDEnLive in AVlinux, not windows anyways. general browsing/socialNT/News/articles/podcast I do on Linux_mint, or Ubuntu on my little netbook. I am mainly frustrated, because I can't play my favorite games. Windows would have you think without money for an upgrade that my computer is useless, that is just not the case. <br /><br />BTW the specs are HP 8300f media center PC's.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356371212126124567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716658755406476200.post-71134210882411365542011-11-22T04:57:31.227-08:002011-11-22T04:57:31.227-08:00Seems to me like a bit too much to spend on a junk...Seems to me like a bit too much to spend on a junk PC. A new Power Supply fine, but a new motherboard too? When you say "direct replacement" that makes me think they somehow managed to get a hold of the exact same motherboard. How difficult/expensive was that? Is it a home built PC or something from an OEM like Dell?Joe Mulloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372628240097657508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716658755406476200.post-61910424396138945302011-11-19T21:18:05.803-08:002011-11-19T21:18:05.803-08:00I am proud of the post, but I am disappointed, tha...I am proud of the post, but I am disappointed, that I waited until now to post about this.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356371212126124567noreply@blogger.com
