    That didn't take too long. I hope the others go so smoothly. Good job, guys! :)

    Okay, so I get the package the other day at work. I notice the box is a little beat up, but my hopes are high. I open up the box and notice that the entire thing is filled with packing peanuts, and the cover is off the case. Great. Just great. I'm preparing for the worst.

    I spend the next 15 minutes pulling styrofoam peanuts out of every nook and crannie. While I'm cleaning, I notice that the PSU is not screwed in. Next I notice that there is not one single screw except for the 4 holding down the motherboard. :wtf:

    Anyway, I screwed everything back in, and before installing a HD, I checked to see if she would POST. All is good so far. I installed a HD and CD-ROM. BIOS recognizes both so things are definitely ready for an OS install.

    These days I usually leave for work around 7:30AM and usually get home at around 7PM, so I'm pretty beat when I walk in the door. I'm hoping to leave work tomorrow before 6, and I've set aside some time to install an OS and run a WU or two. I'll post my results on Friday.

    Would anyone object to me turning in a WU in my name for the test?

    That's part of the deal, mate. You get to run 'em in your name while you're caring for them :)

    Update on SM15. I started off the night well by installing both a bum CD-ROM and HD. I replaced the cables and still no dice. I replaced both drives and everything went smoothly after that.

    SM15 is currently stress testing on Win2K SP4 and everything seems fine at this point. I don't know if I'll turn in a WU in my name, since I have more PCs than I do ports on my router, so I'm just looking for stability at this point. So far, so good.

    Just a side note: whoever becomes the new host of SM15 will need to install their own OS. I can't afford to give out any more licenses. Sorry. :(

    Hey, that's all part of the hosting deal anyways, Seth. It's up to the host to provide a workable OS for the machine. Glad to hear that she's looking ok so far in the stress testing. :thumbsup:

    SM12 and SM15 are back under our control. SM7 is still being illicitly held by Wahoogie. I'm unstickying this thread as I feel it's served as much of its purpose as can be hoped. Thanks everyone.
