Added February '06) Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 160 GB SATA HDD. A complete rebuild of my system on about the 2 year anniversary of my original build. Starts developing bad sectors and occasional SATA bridge timeouts within 10 days.
Added June 03 '06) Western Digital 74 GB 10,000 RPM Raptor (8 MB cache model) SATA HDD. Cloned the OS partition on the Barracuda onto it using True Image.
Removed June 03) Seagate Barracuda 160 GB is taken out after the cloning procedure.
Today, June 10, '06) Removing Plextor PX-712A and replacing it with Plextor PX-750A, which will burn 16x & DL media. -- "Kayura or Badamon, whichever you are, you should know that I will never give up this battle.

Recently changed howling rear 92mm case fan of death and doom for a quieter and slightly slower one from Comp USA, also mounted a small (60mm?) and quiet fan directly to huge passive BTX CPU heat sink. The machine is much quieter now and runs cooler under load also (60 degrees C instead of 68 degrees C, still idles in the low to mid 40s)
Also added Gigabyte Radeon 1300 128Mb (passive cooling) graphics card |

 2kmaroThinkPremium,ExMod 1 BC join:2000-07-11 ColossalCave | reply to dragon Case: Thermaltake Tsunami PSU: CoolerMaster 600W Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe CPU: AMD 64 X2 4800+ HSF: Stock with CPU Memory: 2GB Corsair PC-3200 Platinum Video: PNY nVidia GeForce 7600 GT (256MB RAM) Audio/LAN: On motherboard. CD/DVD: Sony DRU-710 (revived from an earlier life) HDD: WD 7200RPM 80 GB EIDE
Anticipated changes: will be adding some larger SATA drives, looking into maybe a couple of 500GB units and make this the central backup for the other 5 systems in the house. May move this over in place of my first AMD 3200+ system and hook up some stuff on it to this one: Laser Printer, Scanner/Copier/Printer, Klipsch speakers.
OS: For the moment I'm going to try out Windows MCE since I've never seen it on a machine yet - everything else is on XP Pro.
Primary use - who knows? But it'll be running UD turning out work units for that project until I think of something else to really do with it. -- ...then THINK! again!! |
