Re: Upgrading CPU & Cache on Miata

[Peter Petrakis <ppetrakis firestorm tzo org>]

I just picked up a Alpha Server 3300R (Yes it's a rackmount) from ebaywith
a 400Mhz processor , 2MB L3 Cache, 64MB, no drives but it's capible of 4
bay hot swap not to mention the integrated SCSI, VGA , and a PCI NIC. For
$500. There's a AS 5300 on there right now for about $700, thats a steal.
