Semi Success with one Computer

Sorry no photo's yet as have only a vga phone camera at moment, and yes I have one computer working most of the time.
I don't yet have a working O/S on it yet as the windows 98 on it won't work, as I have had to swap motherboards CPU's and hard drives around.
But that isn't a problem as I am hoping to install either Ubuntu or other Linux distribution on to it, as they are freeware and I fancied having a play around with one of them.
I have learn't some valuable lessons while playing around with these computers, and that is Organisation, because I didn't and with 3 of most parts, I didn't know which I had tried and which I hadn't, and I should really treat Ram with more respect. Oh and having your 5 year old son trying to help isn't a good idea either.
Hopefully later today I will have a working O/S on the computer and may even get it online, or am I running ahead of myself there, as the other night when I couldn't get any of it to work, I was ready to dump it all.
Space is a problem now, as with 2 17inch CRT monitors 2 towers and other bits and bobs, I don't have much space in this room.
