The next system I plan to put together will be based on spare parts from previous computers.
  • Athlon XP 2400+ (locked)
  • 256 MB DDR PC2700 (at PC2100 speeds)
  • Asus A7A266 Motherboard
  • 40 GB ATA Hard Drive
  • 52x CD-ROM
  • Some Small Form Factor case with PSU

Once prices on parts are where I want them, and I'm satisfied that I've finished my research on the Athlon 64 platform, I will build Exotherm's successor.

  • Athlon 64 3000+ Venice overclocked to 2.7 GHz
  • DFI nForce4 Ultra-D Motherboard
  • 2x 512 MB PQI Turbo PC3200 TCCD overclocked to PC4400
  • ATI X800 XL PCIe
  • Seagate 120 GB 7200.7 SATA Drive
  • Lite-On CD-RW/DVD-ROM
  • Fortron Blue Storm 500W PSU
  • Lian Li PC-60 Plus

I think that Hull might be a bit unbalanced. The processor and RAM are overpowered for what I use Hull for (mostly file serving and very light web serving). I've also always wanted to experiment with a dual CPU system, so I think Hull's next iteration will go something like this:

  • Dual P3's (speed dependent on what I can get cheap)
  • Dual Slot 1 or Socket 370 Motherboard (again dependent on eBay)
  • 448 MB SDR PC133
  • 0.75 TB Storage (add another 250 GB drive)
  • 4x CD-R
  • 350W Fortron PSU
  • Same giant case

And now that Hull's been transfigured, what do I do with the parts I pulled out?

  • Athlon XP 2500+
  • DFI KT600 Motherboard
  • 512 MB DDR PC3200
  • 2x 40 GB ATA Hard Drives (if I still have them)
  • 52x CD-ROM (whatever I can find)
  • 350W Fortron PSU
  • Antec SLK3000 Case
