db if you are interested i will post details on the installs, they are fairly similar, juuust a little different hardware they are both compiling kernels right now, but that's besides the point... they are stage 3's that will eventually be recompiled... getting them as down to core as i can actually disabling almost everything to conserve power....
i will probably be ordering a couple of Gigabyte boards with Phenom II 920's and 8 gb ram for each, pretty soon, i have to come up with some sort of an enclosure for them, but more then that, with MOHNEH (yes those don't magically appear for anyone) that is currently a bit tight, for now, i am recycling my friend's no longer used equipment, as long as it's like a p4 or a 3000+ or newer series AMD (preferably HT, because i set makeopts to j3, and with symmetric multiprocessing, those procs give interesting stats on compiles), i will use it
base system is almost installed, they are finishing some essentials before first reboot
