yeah it's not a friggin gateway. this thing used to be a file server for a small office and stored/transferred lots of hi res images and raw video. but it was given to the company as the IT guys hand me down so I was sure he wasn't giving them his good stuff. i have a small graveyard myself. i've been piecing computers together and giving them to family/friends when their stuff breaks. i hate to scrap a computer that works fine just because it's "old"

thanks for the extra credit suggestion
