Re: show us your iron
Yeah, I like the dc series too pids.
I have a bunch of harddrives at work I swap in and out of work pcs when I have an opportunity to have a play. Here's a dc7800 running Bakewell, Manjaro-box, elementary, Lubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.10 and Pear 8.
Also A coupla more pix from work. A bunch of dc7800s, 8000s, and 8200s. Oh and . . . and some servers

Re: show us your iron
@ Gurtid: PLC programmer? If so, then we have a great deal in common. (I mostly use Omron, Seimens, and Yaskawa...but have used some Allen Bradley before.)
Re: show us your iron
My "old" pc (from 2008, amd 2.5GHz,2GB ram, 500GB), my thinkpad e320(i5,8GB ram, 320 hdd) and my nexus 7 (2013, 32GB).
I like my photo in your desktop :)bones wrote:Work machines, both custom builds from a local guy, both with AMD Athlon 2000+ processors. The one on the left has Slackware 14.1 (32-bit), the one on the right has "n00b ki11ah" and "Arrogance" (pictured).

Thank you :)
Re: show us your iron
You can pick the DCs up pretty cheap/free here and they're a reasonably robust machine . . . certainly great bang for buck for my purposes.rhowaldt wrote:i got 5 of those HP DC series machines at home. oh no, four, gave one of them away to my friend. they are nice indeed.

Cobra? . . . hmmmm . . . over the top of my head sorry Rho. I'll have to have a closer look at my pix.
I'm an industrial electrician, but have done lots of programming in the past. I mainly work with Allen Bradley here but I prefer Siemens. Also some occasional Omron, TPMC, GE Fanuc, Mitsubishi. I've never heard of Yaskawa until you mentioned them in a previous post you made.DebianJoe wrote:@ Gurtid: PLC programmer? If so, then we have a great deal in common.

Re: show us your iron
@dkeg: Cobra is an art-movement where the artists tried to get back to a very original, pure and childlike form of creation. i was therefore referring to the children's drawings on your wall.

I also have 3 thinkpad lappy's. One is cooked, using for spare parts (r60 iirc, been packed away for awhile), t60 t41 that needs a new fan and keyboard, and a t43 my wife uses. I'd like to pick up another working model this winter.
I'm seeeing an IBM thinkpad thread coming ...

Re: show us your iron
@rho - thanks for clarifying the cobra thing. I am an uncivilised, uncouth colonial who doesn't know stuff like that . . .
It's Sunday and I'm at work today . . .
On the right is my dell inspiron 15r laptop - pretty crap laptop to be honest but was free - not working when I got it. i5 M480 processor, 4G ram, AMD HD 5650(?) graphics and has an HDMI out :P. It's the most powerful machine I've got. Running Ubuntu, Elementary, Fubduntu, Bakewell, Mint 15. This is another crap picture from this crap ph. The laptop looks broken and bent on the photo but it isn't . Gunna replace mint 15 with Archbang/Arch.
On the left is a work pc with 3 of my HDDs installed. I am endeavouring to recover images from a corrupt laptop hard drive in Mint 16 (the only thing going for Mint 16 is nice wallpapers - other than that it's boring as fuck. Am using that wallpaper as default on most of my Bakewells now). Photorec doesn't seem to be doing a lot for me. Perhaps default settings aren't the best? (Don't have room to create image so endeavouring to pull stuff straight of the partition :( - meh, not too worried if it doesn't work)

Re: show us your iron
I know you've all been waiting, c'mon wux show us your iron...
My AlienWare box.
pumped with 2x500Gb drives full on HD movies, my bro left me.
Bombproof. Should really be the server, as it has capacity for a good few HDDs, and it's well ventilated. with the monitor and desk. Acer Revox, running XBMC frodo. show films on the old flat screen I found in the bin. crappy compaq presario, torrent server running wheezy, stacked with old HDD's
The play area.
As you can see I tidied up a bit, before taking the picture 8) like Pids, well a little bit like Pids, I plugged some stuff together and it runs...
I can't even remember what kind of motherboard is on there, just some leftovers.
...And what it all started on; my mums former laptop. Thanks mum!
Acer aspire.

Re: show us your iron
Here's my hp nx6125 (manufactured about 2005). This is running Trollinger, Siduction Firestarter XFCE (seen running upgrade in pix), and SolusOS. SolusOS is getting replaced with . . . you guessed it . . . the fabulous Bakewell later today.
Specs: CPU AMD Turion 64 ML-40, 2G ram, radeon x200 graphics (shared memory), broadcom BCM4318 wireless, 60GB ide drive plus 320GB sata in drive bay.
Runs great - or does if you discount the crashes. DId I mention it crashes? . . . it crashes! . . . at random intervals . . . could go a month or two without crashing but is just as likely to crash 3 or 4 times within a few minutes of booting. Cause is unknown but I have my silly theories . . . completely unresponsive - hard reset required - nothing in logs.
P.S. Many thx to mb for the marvelous bbq tools packaged with Bakewell . A combination of Archbang and/or myself completely fubarred grub on the other laptop but the bbq tools on Bakewell live rescued my grub without having to look up Xaos's chroot tut . . . :D. Awesome.
