 ### ThinkCentre Notes
 
+I was really interested by this, I love ThinkPads, So I immediately took up the offer. When I got home I worked on pluggin it in and seeing if it worked, took me a bit to find the VGA cable hiding somewhere in storage but i was able to get it. This machine did not come with a drive, and was unable to post whatsoever. 
+
+After a bit of testing (and a long search for DDR3 modules), I can confirm that something *other* than the memory is the issue (it tested fine in a known-good machine), so more testing will need to be done there.
+
+I really want(ed) to shove my current main build inside this thing as it would be really funny, unfortunately, this only has one fan slot, and thats the loud and poor, outtake. Definitely not enough for my modern computer, ill figure out what to do with it eventually!

 I really had to go DIGGING into my graveyard to find a DVi cable, ended up finding this DVI to VGA instead, which worked fine.

 ### Media Center Notes
 
+When I first booted this up it automatically logged into Windows 7 Ultimate, and was slow on some things. So I went on an adventure to install linux on it. This turned out to be a struggle, as the BIOS would not let me boot via USB, and my only CD-R's were 700mb. 
+
+I went on a long, chase to shove arch linux on this, only to remember that debian has a smaller image size. so after hours of toiling, I went with that. 
+
+I think my plan for this thing is:
+
+- Get better fans
+- Run cool old/retro/retro-esque software
+  - Like a bbs!
+
+It also has a GPU, which I might shove into my other server for video encoding/decoding. It will also take some time, before I can actually fire this up for good, I need to get/setup some things, but cool!!! I ended up replacing the drive, as it wouldnt open, with a spare DVD/CD R-W drive I had sitting around (and used to install debian).
 
 I hope to get some use out of these! and thankyou!
