Megatron
Megatron is my computer and the home work horse. The machine started off as a rack mounted server, but it was to loud to run all day and night even if it was in the basement. Also it only had room for 3 drives… not enough. So I got a Extended ATX case for the monster motherboard and built it up.

- 3 terabytes of Harddrive
- 7.1 surround sound
The Software:
- Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit
- Ushare for media streaming
- Handbrake for ripping and encoding
- Mplayer for media playback
- Samba for Microsoft shares
