...my Mac died. A mid 2010 21.5in iMac that went tits up Tues night... Well, I suppose Wed morning at about midnite. Locked up, won't reboot, getting kernal panics. When it will boot, it acts weird (Finder crashing, duplicate copies of it, and so on), but luckily I saved almost everything, I'll prolly lose my downloads folder, and my Open Office dictionaries (bit of a pain in the ass as they'd developed from my editing work and writings), but nothing major at least.

So, I"m stuck computing using my Linux test box, an eMachines D525 laptop, I'll let you look up the specs and such, its pathetic.

So, with that said, anyone wanna help me build a computer?
Got the case (Commodore 1541), planning a mini-ITX (I'd prefer mini-STX, but they're basically non-existent right now) build of modest power, the current one falls short, but not by a huge amount surprisingly. Need to pick up a DVD driver, tray loading preferred, but prolly have to go with slot, and one or two SSD's too, have to see what the limit on those is.
