I finally got around to swapping out my old server parts for my desktop parts. It was actually a weird setup. Basically I had a powerful server with 24 gigs of DDR3 RAM and a Core i7 950, with not much else. This machine used to be for heavy processing, but is now being re-purposed to a simple CentOS web server for development. My desktop setup had 8 gigs of DDR2, a Core 2 Quad, and a VelociRaptor (10k RPM HDD). My fiancee's desktop was extremely terrible with extremely old hardware not worth mentioning. Basically we did a little circle of part trading. For reference, the server's name is "Reznor".
