Hardware delivery

[Lincoln Peters]

I received some equipment from Chris and Troy yesterday, and here's what I 
found:

A full-size ATX tower with a power supply.
An ATX motherboard that looks like it would fit in the tower.  It has 
onboard sound.
A Comdex ethernet/DSL router.  I can't try it out because Earthlink and AT&T 
firmly deny the availability of DSL in my area.
A PCI 3DFX video card, apparently dual-headed (has two VGA ports).
A PCI S3 VIRGE video card, single-headed.
An external Motorola ISDN modem, speed unknown (I don't have ISDN; can't try 
it).
An external Supra Faxmodem, speed 28.8k
An internal PCI modem (hopefully not a Winmodem).
A PCI Kingston ethernet NIC.
An ISA NIC, probably generic NE2000.
An unlabeled PCI ethernet NIC.
2 telephone cables.
An ATA IDE cable.
A generic IDE cable.
A 6-foot (?) ethernet cable.
3 KVM extension cables (each handles an AT keyboard, a serial mouse, and a 
VGA monitor).

The delivery of the monitors was delayed.


I think that there is enough equipment here and in my garage to assemble 
another computer, except that I don't have a hard drive for it and I don't 
have motherboard stand-offs (the screw kinds, not the plastic ones).  Chris 
said that he could get some old hard drives, but it's hard to tell whether 
or not they'll be enough; Isildur has a 6GB RAID-0 array, and it's already 
80% full.  As for the spacers, I'll try to get them myself.

Also worth noting is that I used the parts from one of the almost-discarded 
towers to assemble another computer that is complete except for a hard 
drive.  As a result, I have two computers besides Isildur that would be 
ready to go if I had hard drives for them.
