Update

For the few of you who read this,
I finished the solar tracker!  I'm busy at the moment, but I'll eventually get a video showing you what it can do.  Until then, you'll just have to wait.

Furthermore, I'm also planning on replacing my Arch partition with Xubuntu.  I'm also most likely going to reorganize my computer boot sequence as well.  I currently have my boot partition doing nothing but booting, which seems kinda silly.

On the hardware side, I just upgraded my RAM from the 2x1 Gb Crucial 1033 Mhz to a 2x2 Gb Corsair 1600 Mhz.  So far I've noticed a slight improvement in Windows (which is 64bit) and I haven't tried it in Arch yet.

Also, if you haven't already, check out This Week in Linux with Jordan Keyes.  He recently lost his adsense account due to some strange DDoS/Misuse  and showing all of his videos either through Blip.tv or through his website.  I highly suggest everyone watch his videos, he's a wealth of knowledge!

New Package

Well guys, the computer came in today. First thing I did was take the case off (which was annoying) and look at the guts. Everything matches the description, which is great.

(Sorry for the poor quality. It was taken with a webcam)

First thing I noticed was the giant heat sink. This sucker's probably the biggest stock heat sink I've ever seen. It's a Foxconn, and is going for about$5.99.


The motherboard is a basic Intel with build in graphics card, but room for more. There's two 256mb RAM sticks in there, with room for two more, if I'm not mistaken.

(Once again, sorry for the poor quality. The camera doesn't like close-ups)

If there's anymore info you want, just shoot a comment or email my way. I'll try to get pictures.
