okay, back on topic, and kind of a mid phase thing. But pics of my computer currently.
Currently drilled out all of the rivets, and sprayed it down with aircraft grade paint stripper. Getting it to the bare metal, then going to put it back together with a look I can like for a while.
Look nice for desktop. what is color you're going to paint? Black?

Don't worry, we won't say bad thing about how your pc look like. There is a lot of friendly people here at forum.
SCSI. The disks are hot swap.
Pentium 4 HT I think.What cpu has it? I think xeon(or pentium) if I see the image right.
Lucky guy! My server has an athlon 64 x2 :'(, and I don't have the money to upgrade soon.
I also recommend you to fix that ugly cable management! Rest looks pretty clean, no dust,...
Eh not too fussed about the cable management. This thing weighs a ton, you try turning it over on its side to worry about cable management.
You ever seen inside a real server like this ProLiant before? The cable management is like that in all of them.

It is the server motherboard. so it can support either ECC or non-ECC. non-ECC are not recommend for Xeon. Server do always have error and corrupt so ECC is need.

I know what ECC is. Just i didnt think the Pentium 4 would support ECC, but then again its memory controller is off the cpu. Keep forgetting that.
Would test it with Black Hole but I can't because I couldn't get a 64-bit OS to install on it, sorry. Got Windows 2003 Enterprise on it now, it's 32-bit I think.
ECC I think.
Yep it's got 2GB of PC2-4200 at the moment, upgradeable to 8GB.

What is type of socket of your CPU on server? LGA 775 is 64 Bit and Socket 478 is 32 Bit only.
If it is LGA 775:
Have you installing OS as SCSI or Raid? That server is raid mode via SCSI. It is RAID 10 i think?
EDIT: my mistaken. I just review your server. It is motherboard with BGA 775. It should be support 64 Bit OS.

XP x64 won't install because I need an SCSI/RAID driver which I don't have. I can use the Windows 2003 x64 driver from HP as XP x64 is essentially just Windows 2003 x64, but the driver needs to go on a floppy disk drive and the server doesn't have one, so I can't install it.
Windows 2003, obviously being a server OS, already had the driver so it installed fine. I don't have a 64-bit copy of Windows 2003 though, only 32-bit.
The disks are in RAID-5.
Pentium 4 HTs are 64-bit compatible as I had a 64-bit OS on mine back in the day when I used a P4 HT daily.
