They are cheap enough nowadays, so that a person of limited means (like 
myself) can give it a shot. Aside from some crappy power supplies, the 
unit works flawlessly and very quick. All 6 cores are available and I 
watched OpenWonderland munch on four of them during the initial java ant 
build. It's working just fine. What I might do is get an RA auth and 
send it back for testing, just for ducks, after I get sound working. I 
can then put that sound card into the MSI stinker that doesn't seem to 
like Linux as well as ASUS does.

The psu might have taken out the HDD but that is on one of

I might get round toit, but right now there is nothing going on that is
