Nice find at a thrift store

Thanks but it's a SATA drive.

Ok, was like my old board.

Ok, the hard drive is a no go no matter what so I dug around in my computer junk box and pulled out an 80 gig IDE drive. Turned out that the DVD drive is an IDE so I was able to couple them as master/slave.

And voila! I got Kubuntu!

Bargain. I guess you probably know this, but just make sure the HDD is master and the DVD drive is slave as you can get performance issues the other way round

Cmon joe, you know me better than that.

From post 1: As you can see this thing is dusty as hell. It probably still work, who knows.

You can never be too sure

Neat buy though, unusual to see a PC at a thrift store so good spot!

Probably just got put out and I was the first to spot it.

I went to other thrift stores and no luck.
