Even better, stick a unix type OS on it and then you don't have to run all those babysitter scans on it ;) It'll just run.

i heard about Unix , Linux and all other OS

the problem is : How many progs are compatible with those OS ?

well i don't know  :oops:  i think that now i'm too used to my Microsoft landscape  :cry:

Games wise, hardly anything. In every other software area, there are no problems. Plus you can always use a windows emulator and run any windows programs you like :) (sometimes faster than straight on windows)

Heh, I know what you mean. I used to feel the same way, then one day (after a million or so crashes) I made the switch and never looked back ;)

two words: dual booting :)

Unfortunately I have to write for windows so have little call for linux and don't have it installed. I get my command line bash fix from cygwin. I keep meaning to set up a ps2 linux box and network it with my windows pc. But then I don't.

Although, sadly, it won't clean your hardware for you. They should write that into the next kernel version.


Amen to that! My linux box is the dirtiest computer ever. I don't know how it gets that way. Knowing the Linux kernel though, drivers will be a problem. I don't want to have go out and buy a new Linux supported case to make this work! ;)

The best thing to do would be to have a PCI card with a sensor (to detect a certain level of dust) and attach it to one of those compressed air cans strapped inside your case. Then the driver can blast away the dust as needed :) Hmmm I suppose there'd need to be a case exhaust as well, to let the dust out.

Hey, that sounds like a marketable idea! Except that you'd get dust all over your desk :-/ Oh and there'd be an explosive compressed air can inside the hot PC :-\ Apart from that, I'm rich!

Mine isn't so great.  The hard drive just ****ed up on the two days ago, but that's okay because I had just backed up everything and I was going to format it and start over, but now I get to go buy a bigger one!
