Another find

Are posting from a dump find an Asus bearbone terminator CUSC which had a wrongly mounted heatzink, pressing against capacitors so cpu wasnt properly cooling and also breaking heatzink "nob" on cpu socket, the PSU was stinking from overheating due a large amount of dust inside. I was pusseled how to fix socket but remembered a converter to run ppga2 cpus (tualatin 1.2 celeron I had) so I mounted that and a smaller heatzink not to push and press capacitors and voila I am running the machine at  1.2 Ghz a machine which were built for coppermine.
Using CD rom and ubuntu live Gutsy Gibon :)  Works great and I will use it  to run an IpCop  Router/firewall/DHCP.
