So I am back up at school right now, and I have set up the Blue Beast. I ordered some parts for it before I left home. I got a Hitachi 500GB SATA HD. I had to look up some information about my motherboard because it was so old. It can only have serial ATA hard drives. I also bought more RAM memory. 2 GB of Kingston DDR will double the current amount of memory in the Blue Beast. I will also replace the sound card with a basic Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy card. I placed the order for these parts last Thursday. Hopefully they should be here in a couple days so that I can install them. The owner’s manual to the Dell XPS was my guide for the most part when I bought these parts. While the motherboard and CPU are still good, they have already been outdated. Once I get these parts installed I will partition the 500 GB HD, and put two more operating systems on (Linux and Mac).

I will be doing that when I earn some money- except I am going to use multiple hard drives of large size.
