[ALUG] New computer.

[Torben Stones]

Well last week my hard disk gave up the ghost.  This is the first disk
I've had that has actually died, the other two just started to produce
loads of bad sectors and the SMART monitor gave me warning.  But there
was nothing with this drive, lucky I just backup most of the important
stuff.

Anyway enough of my rambling.  I could just buy a new hard disk and
get every thing up and running, but I just might use this as an excus
to update my computer (It's 6-7 years old), and get something more
up-to-date and hopefully more efficient.

Finally my question.  Has anyone got any experiance of the
EffcientPC.co.uk guys?  I was looking at the Flexible range that they
do, and was wondering if I should go with the Camulus or Isis systems.
 The only difference is one is Intel/nVidia and the other is AMD/ATI
(respectively) any thoughts?

And finaly has AMD open sourced the ATI graphics drivers yet?  I am
right in thinking that they committed to that when the bought ATI, am
I not?

Anyway thanks for any thoughts.
