Test both desktop PC's, ensure no faulty capacitors #17

@CarlFK @stefanor please move this to 'done' once both machines appear to be working OK (ensure voctomix runs on these, capture works OK, audio output works, etc). and there's no issues rebooting them.

The desktop machine with the Gigabyte motherboard was not booting up properly during Pycon AU, freezing within minutes, and audio out was not working. I thought it was bad capacitors, but it might just be a faulty video card causing issues - I've removed it, it turned on fine (it wasn't turning on before).

The desktop machine with the Asus motherboard is solid, I use it daily, but it doesn't boot up the first time with 4x RAM sticks in it. I've removed 2x and it appears to be fine. Only test here is ensuring it always turns on.

Want to know this earlier rather than later, as I'll buy replacement motherboard(s) if required.

Appears OK.
