History and other comments

I've built this system from used parts in September 2009, the ATX box comes from my old Ubuntu peecee (that explains the AMD64 sticker on the picture) and the mainboard & CPU have been salvaged from IBM branded electronics junk. In its current configuration, it would meet the standard specifications for an entry level Windows server in the year 2002.
