My Windows box is an Asus P4C800 with a 3.0GHz 800FSB P4. It was a recommended board to support the Matrox video processing card I have in there - it didn't cut it with nVidia chipsets, and when you've got a £400 copro board, it's worth making sure you've' got the right mobo to support it!

The Linux box has a Gigabyte GA-8i848PG board with (I think) a 3.2GHz Prescott CPU. This box works 24/7 and is absolutely rock solid. It is however at its limit on RAM - I seem to think it's got the full complement of 2Gb on it which will probably limit its life more than anything else. It's running SuSE10.0. It gets all sorts thrown at it. It's my external web server and hosts both mine and my wife's blogs (www.brassedoff.net/wp and www.woolforbrains.net), is our mail server, is used for Java development, media server (it's got a Hauppauge Nova-T DVB card in - I recorded Torchwood last night which I'll stream to XBMC on my old Xbox)... It's a real workhorse and I can't think (touch wood) that it's ever crashed on me. Current uptime is 119 days. Not ages I know, but there are places in the middle of the Serengeti that have better power supply than Killamarsh sometimes.
