[Nolug] Well, I'm about to see how good/quiet a Shuttle cube really is

Just bought an SK41G, with the relatively old, and low-oriented
KM266 chipset and ProSavage8 video. Would rather have gotten the
SN41G2, but it has the nforce2 chipset, which is much faster, and
has integrated Geforce4MX video.

However, I passed on the nforce, because, although I have no qualms
about a closed-source video driver (TuxRacer *screams* on a Riva
TNT2 M64 using the nvidia driver), a closed source NIC is too vital
to proper system functionality.

Reviews of the SK41G show that video performance is *really* pa-
thetic. If it's too bad, I can always slap a TNT2 in the AGP slot...

An ad run by the NEA (the US's biggest public school TEACHERS 
UNION) in the Spring and Summer of 2003 asks a teenager if he 
can find sodium and *chloride* in the periodic table of the elements.
And they wonder why people think public schools suck...
