Hi all, new to the forums, not on Ubuntu. I have been using it on and off since 9.xx
Got a few hardware failures in the past year or so and a few months ago it was the video card ... with all these unscheduled updates I found myself with a completely different PC than I started with (Dual-Core P4 with 2GB DDR400 became a Core 2 Duo with 4GB DDR2-800 now all sitting on a mini-ITX motherboard).
Stopped using the PC after the GT520 died, even though I had onboard video, I was 10 from moving into the house my wife an I bought so I had lots of other things on my mind.
Fast forward to last weekend I finally pulled out the dead video card and benchmarked the rest of the hadware, when I saw that everything was fine I backed up my drive and installed 12.04 LTS!
I have no pictures of the setup but the whole computer now sitting in a white Ikea Kassett box in my TV stand (I call it my Ikea computer), Mini-ITX motherboards are VERY small, you have to hold one in your hands to really appreciate it! Plus a full tower was overkill for that mini-ITX and looked odd beside the TV!
