The week of dying hardware

Last night I noticed that my MythTV box wasn't up, so I turned it on. I decided it would be a good time to do some work on it that I've been putting off for a while. Ten minutes later, I rebooted to test it...and spent the next ten minutes listening to whiiiir whiiiir beep click click click, over and over again.

Digging through this blog, turns out I actually bought this thing in April 2005...so it has lasted a good long time. (Cue guilt about burning through natural resources and other people's pain.) I'll have to see if I can get it going again.
