The Saga of the XPC

My Super Computer, the Shuttle XPC, Pentium 4, Liquid Cooled, state of the art Machine in 2005, has died.  I bought it almost 10 years ago exactly.  It had its troubles through the years, but kept going.  The Mutha Board is that which quit.  Every other component works...

A fortunate event happened that gave me posession of a Dell B110 chassis, Muthaboard, and a Celeron, no memory, or drive.  Turns out this is a socket 478 Mutha board that will support my Pentium 4, and DDR2 memory.  So my system has reincarnated in a drab Dell body, and doesn't like it very much.

 This system was built in the XP era, but won't load XP because Microsoft ended its support.  The only option was to install 7, but now the machine is handicapped because Dell never developed drivers for 7, and never will.  This machine is ripe for a Linux install...  Hello Professor Falken...
