Six machines, I've powered one up and tried to boot from usb, and the bios was just a tad bit too old to support that. So I'm looking at bios flashing or burning a cd... which I know i have a blank cd around here... somewhere.

Shortly after, I powered up the slightly more impressive cased machine, to find it had twice the ram. For those not paying attention, no... I'm not checking inside these before i plug them in, I'm brave like that. Again, no dice on the USB boot.

more to come!
