My internal Linux server that I use for home automation, among other things, suffered a power supply fan failure that caused a power supply failure.  Both of my Debian Linux servers are 10+ years old.  I decided to start looking for replacements.  It turns out that resellers are quite proud of old hardware.  I couldn't find anything online for less than $100.  Knowing that people trash old computers all the time, I simply started asking around.  Soon I saved two systems from the landfill.  While I was at it I upgraded Debian to Lenny and TikiWiki to 3.2.  I sure like the speed of TikiWiki on this new hardware.
So now I'm off to rebuild my Misterhouse system and while I'm at it I need to install something to monitor my servers for temperature faults.  Humm.....
