Well.... it started with a buzzing CPU fan. I then tried to replace my entire motherboard, CPU, and memory. I got lots of STOP errors when trying to boot up after that as I realized that the newer mobo needed different IDE drivers.

I decided it wasn't worth it because I was going to be upgrading from a total POS to a not as crappy POS.

Some time in the future I'll just buy another dell server, move everything over, upgrade the mobo and use the computer as a test machine or backup server or something else... But I did migrate the server into the main floor of my house, so now its out of my room and hidden behind the entertainment center. The backup machine is going there next.
