I just blew the dust off of my old X1000 (I think it's actually a 1015). I haven't used it in a few years, but I still LOVE this computer! Problem is I stopped using it because it was beginning to have hard drive problems and crash a lot...I backed it up on an external drive and forgot about it. I've got a dinky little netbook now for mobility and would like to bling out the X1000 for my home bound workhorse. First, I'd love to take it all apart and give it a cool paint job...I'd use it mostly for HD graphics programs...building ads & editing HD photos for ads; MS Word/Excel; would be doing lots of large file downloads so a fast wifi would be essential; finally, while I don't do online gaming, I'd like to use it to record as a DVR. I'm not a computer guy, but I am a do it your selfer...does anyone have specs or a do it yourself youtube that would help me turn my old buddy into a hot rod? Thanks in advance for any help.
PS...Any feedback on using Ubuntu on the X1000? I have it on my netbook and another laptop and seem to like it.
