FX 6100 Six Core CPU System Still Working After Years

CPU: AMD FX 6100 Six core
8 gigs ram, Gigabyte $10 mobo

I added a SDD that actually died on me, not good....

So for a while I was just booting from USB flash and saving any data on another USB flash.

I got tired of that and got a super cheapo refurbished sata hdd for around $15, and installed Linux Mint 17 and it is awesome!

I love this feature:
Scroll wheel on mouse works on anything that the mouse pointer just hovers over, no need to click on the window to scroll it like M$ forces you to do, I keep trying that when I'm in windo$ but....

Everything just works, including sound and all the drives, usb device recognition....

This thing was only around $200 without the drive and it is over 2 years old now and still great.
