I definitely would love to participate in this. I am currently running a dual-xeon setup that's probably from 2002-2003ish.



It has an Intel server motherboard and an Intel rack-mounted server chassis. The problem I have with this rig is that it's terribly loud. Even though it has redundant power-supplies and an Ultra SCSI 320 backplane, it's so loud that it is almost unusable. It sounds like a 747 Jet. If you've ever worked with an Intel server chassis you will know that they have great big proprietary fans that scream bloody rape at the top of their lungs every time you turn on the computer.



This system is currently running dual Intel Xeon 2.4ghz processors. I plan to find a couple of 3ghz processors later on and overclock them to 4ghz. It only has 3gb or ram, because that's all that Windows XP can handle. It has five 15,000RPM SCSI hard drives in Raid 0. I am not much of a gamer, this computer is strictly used for music production.

As for the mouse:


This is the original Logitech MX Laser 1000, one of the very first laser mice ever made. It has served me well, but now the batteries are shot and I have to charge it every night or it will run out of batteries in the middle of my work day.

Clearly I could benefit from the tower case, which has the perfect amount of internal 3.5" bays for my Ultra 320 SCSI Raid 0 setup and is much, much quieter. In the meantime you would be saving me from a mouse that has been nothing but trouble for me lately. Cheers to you all for doing this!
