My beloved RAQ died recently, after going trough five stages of grief, I need a new one.

Does anybody knows a seller from europe or does anybody here sells it?

I need it for my home, I have a connection of 0.5mb/s, and it takes a whole night to download DVD image, I own all of linux distro images to that great blue box. At nights I miss the noise of its fan in my room :'(.

You seem bit of obsessive with your RAQ, sorry for your loss,

How it died?, can't you change few spare parts? because shipping will cost ya very much, It will be way cheaper is you buy everything except barebone

Well, it is a story of Comedy and Tragedy,

It all started, when my cousin stayed at our home for a week, he wanted to watch some pirated DVD, our DVD player rejected his terribly damaged disk.
Than he borrowed my DVD player without asking, he damaged the my DVD player, when he noticed that DVD player doesn't powered up, he brought it to a cheap repairman.

The thing is, I don't had a DVD player, I just had a Cobalt RaQ3. When I arrived to repair shop, I founded a weird old bearded man who literally destroyed the device. He was holding the hard disk and trying to make sense out of it, I mean the silver disk inside the HDD, not the HDD. He asked me, "How the hell you put a DVD in this?!"

Lesson of the story, keep your room locked...


About to obsessiveness, I say nothing, I just dare you, I dare you to download a linux distro with this connection;

Achieve that with any piece of hardware, and you will be bounded forever :)

Sorry to hear about your loss. Check ebay, they sell them here and there on ebay. Shipping might cost you but if you really want one go for it. Good luck on finding a new server.
