I have an old computer that I used as my Music Server to stream my CD collection to my Transporter and to backup personal files on my network. I recently found a "race horse" deal on a more robust, powerful system which will allow me to do all the same music streaming and data storage PLUS turn my 55" living room LCD TV into a digital photo frame. So, I'm going to sell the old Music Server.

System specs are:

Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz processor w/ Zalman HSF
(http://ark.intel.com/products/27499/Intel-Pentium-4-Processor-supporting-HT-Technology-3_06-GHz-512K-Cache-533-MHz-FSB)
Biostar 945GC-M4 Motherboard
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138174)
2GB (2 x 1GB) Kingston PC2-6400 DDR2-800 RAM
500GB Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS SATA2 / 32MB Cache 7200 RPM HD                  SOLD TO JOHN

500GB Seagate Barracuda ST3500830AS SATA2 7200 RPM FACTORY REPAIRED HD                      SOLD TO JOHN         
(http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=0c6099f4fa74c010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD)
Apevia X-Qpack Black MicroATX Computer Case with 420W Power Supply
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144162)

Despite being based on an older Socket 478 CPU, the motherboard has four SATA2 connectors and can accept up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM. I ran 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate on this system. You could put Ubuntu or some other Linux-based OS on it and have a fast file server for your home network. Windows XP and Windows 7 will work fine as well.

I have the original motherboard driver CD which I will include, but you might want to check Biostar’s site for updated device drivers.

I cut and taped off a couple of unused power connections from the power supply (floppy, extra 4-pin Molex) to increase airflow for the small case. As you can see from the pictures, the power supply still has one 24-pin power connector, one 4-pin (2x2) power connector, one SATA power connector, and two 4-pin Molex power connectors. I will include two SATA cables and a Molex to 2 SATA power connector adapter. This will give you 3 SATA power connections and one Molex. Enough for three SATA HD. I will include for FREE a DVD-RW LightScribe drive. (IDE data/4-pin Molex power).

The system will be fully assembled for shipment. Both HDs will be formatted. I can install Ubuntu 11.10 on the WD HD at the buyer’s request.

I’ll let the entire system go for $125 plus shipping. I’d like to sell the entire system first so I’m not going to list part out prices yet. Feel free to PM me with questions or offers for any part of the system. I accept payment via Paypal (no fee) or USPS Money Order ONLY.
