The new machine has been assembled and tested; we're now in the process of booting from a Linux CD in order to pull all the data off my old hard drive and put it onto the fine new half-a-terabyte backup drive. Once that's done, we can take that drive off the cable, put the DVD drive back in the case, close it up, and then I get to install software.
The box itself is black and shiny; more to the point, the memory test went flawlessly, and this is going to be a fairly kick-ass system. ("Fairly" because we didn't splurge on high-end stuff I don't need or wouldn't use; for example, my graphics card is quite good, but better exist.)
I'll be intermittently online today, I think, and more intermittently over the weekend (the latter due to travel, not hardware issues). Email is probably good, but don't count on finding me on IM.
