Today I have officially retired my old server. It’s been a long run, but it was time to let it go. It is for the best, after all. We all have to move on eventually. Get on with our lives. Let the past be the past. Greener pastures. Faster processors… (No, it has nothing to do with me botching a kernel update! Why would you even suggest that?)

So, here’s goodbye to the computer that has been my music, web, everything else server for the past however many years.

Here you can see the magnificent insides of this once great beast. (Which must have been well before I got any of these parts.) Notice the precarious positioning of the PSU and the full complement of RAM.

From this view you one can clearly see how snugly the PSU is placed within the case. You can also see that the case fan is not really screwed in at all, but is just hanging there.

And finally, the front shows how proud its makers were of having a Pentium II and how they designed it to work specifically with Windows 95. Of course, I don’t think much in the case was left over from whatever inhabited it previously, probably nothing…and yes, that is one of the hard drives peeking out there. You can also make out the power button, which worked occasionally.

Anyhow, goodbye good buddy. I’ll (sort of) miss you!
