Backup PC thread

[Peen]

So what are you guys running for backups? Right now my DFI is dead and I got rid of all mine basically but still have a crappy P4.

I'm thinking of getting something really cheap, with integrated GFX.

From NewEgg:

Athlon II X2 240
GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H
A-Data 2GB DDR

All for 149.97 shipped, got a 4850X2 I can use for a bit till my DFI X58 gets back

Oh ya show some pics of your back ups I wanna see what kind of XtremeGhettoness we got here! Ghetto backup PC's are more fun then the mains sometimes :up:

BACKUP PC!!! It's way more fun. Old P4, its been washed in hot bath's, broken DIMM slots been running 1.5v since 2003-04 on prescott and the HSF is ziptied to the board haha. Board wasn't even made for a prescott but still runs like its new! And the HD is a 10yr old 80GB loud ass 7200RPM Maxtor

I either use my LAN box or file server as backup.

My backup box is my Virtual Machine host. It is a Q6600 on a Striker Extreme with 8GB of OCZ Reaper, and a pair of WD 750GB drives in RAID 0 and a GeForce 8400, all packed into an Antec Sonata III. Not big for gaming, but it does my Virtuals like a champ. I also have my old Dell XPS M1210 laptop with a GeForce 7900.
