Spare graphics cards and lovelace upgrade (attn to Oni, ivan, jasper and cepmender)
Will Pearson
the space (these are marginally better than what is in lovelace, but
it is probably not worth an upgrade).
One is in the light grey dennis (http://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/
view/Dennis#Light_Grey) which is a candidate for being an upgrade for
lovelace. Jasper/Phil do you mind me reinstalling ubuntu in standard
hackspace style? It doesn't seem to have the same set up as normal
(can't easily sudo, unless I am missing something). If we do replace
lovelace we will have a spare quadro fx (which is of the same era I
think).
There is also a silver PC currently in bits which I've not tried to
assemble yet.
Oni has asked for a graphics card for resurrecting the touch table,
which I think that will have precedence, if any have enough grunt.
Ivan and jasper have called dibs on the graphics card in the dark grey
dennis. But then we might have another decent spare depending on what
it is in the silver machine.

Possibly just move the lovelace machine over there as it seems fairly
stable/workable,

I think the light grey dennis was setup by an occupylsx person (??? not
sure tho), hence the naming collision, i don't mind what happens to it.

yes vote to the precedence for the touch table from me.

I don't care about this so much.
Thanks for taking the time to look at the machines!

Was this Abs? I think you'll find it has another name when you log on.

This, definitely!

available, if you could let me know or leave it next to the table,
I'll start a rebuild. This means I can put the laptop out for general
use (currently, marconi is inside the table)
