Thought I would recycle some old systems in my house, so I dug up an ancient Book PC (Micro ATX?) running Celeron 1GHz with 128MB RAM and decided to do away with the risky hard drive that was generating lots of heat and rebuilt it with a CF card.<\/p>\n

Celeron 1GHz, 128MB RAM<\/p><\/div>\n

I got myself several IDE to CF adapters off eBay and also two unbranded 4GB CF cards. Flash disks are getting quite affordable recently and this is a good way to repurpose an ancient machine without having to spend a bomb on SSDs (and maybe a SATA controller).<\/p>\n

IDE (PATA) to CF<\/p><\/div>\n

Installed CentOS and I’m off for several hours of Yum update. I’ll turn this into a home development box and print server. No X11 (GUI) on this thing. 128MB is no longer enough to do these fancy stuff on modern distros.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Good old Socket 7<\/p><\/div>\n

One thing though, I’m looking for a more efficient and low profile heat sink\/fan combo for Socket 7\/370. I can’t find anywhere that sells these stuff now… at least not for a decent price.<\/p>\n

P.S. Due to an ordering error I have two four<\/em> extra IDE (PATA) to CF adapters. If you’d love to have them, please drop me a message and I’ll happily pass them to you.
