I know that Sat Guys has a computer section but like me, most of you probably don't go there. Since this computer is what I use to access Sat Guys I figgered I could put this here so you guys could see the nightmare on my street.
This is one of four multiboot computer systems I have. I have one other system besides this one that has identical hardware with the exception of the number of hard drives in it.
Two of these systems have an Asus P5K Pro socket 775 motherboards that I bought around 2009/10. They have been modified to run an Intel Xeon x5460 socket 771 processor that's a 3.61GHz Quad core server processor. They have 8GB of DDR2 memory in both. The one system here in the shop that I use the most has 8 bootable hard drives in it with 2 of those being SSDs with Linux Mint on one and Ubuntu Linux on the other. The other 6 have various flavors of Winders from Windowz XP to Windows 10. Several of those drives have two partitions on them and are used for storage. None of the primary boot partitions are larger than 80GB. Power supply in this one is 750 watts and it has an additional 150 watt power supply mounted on the back side of the desk that powers two 2 TB drives that I use to backup stuff via 3.0 USB ports.
Both these systems have older ATI Radeon 1650 PCIe video cards that I use specifically to run Quake 2 and Unreal Tournament 99 video games. They also have USB 3.0 PCIe add in cards to help speed up data transfers from the DVR drives used on my Satellite receivers.
Ennywho, I just wanted you guys to see what this "Gear Head" has done to modify his computer like he's done with race cars all his life.
Is "Gear Head Computer Nerd" an oxymoron?
