Woohoo Happy New Years everybody!!
i do miss the usual bike ride with capt. D around frisco from 9pm till ~1:30am, you get to see all the whackyness and people going bonkers for the new years. Tis ok, this year me, fluffielady and the in-laws hung out by Portola Ave. up by twin peaks to watch the fireworks from afar, far afar, way way far afar. Theres nothing like being point blank not being able to speak to another for 15minutes at the Ferry Building. But then the masses of humanity somtimes spark bad events.
I hope everybody had fun saying bibi to '05.
Today the project 90 nano begins:
All i need is a video card and probably a new drive to complete the getup. The P180 is a serious puzzlemaker, i could alraedy see possible problems with the power supply wires on the bottom barely making it with the fan, which is supposed to fit on the middle. i've already swapped one of the upper fan (25mm thick) with the lower one (38mm thick). it's gonna be one bad machine:
Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego Core (90 nanometer core)
Cooled by a Thermalright xp-120 with a Thermaltake A1926 120mm (Mmm 4.7") Fan (pushing 78CFM at 21dbA!)
2x Antec Tricool 120mm X 25mm fans
1x Antec Tricool 120mm X 38mm
Asus A8R-MVP crossfire edition motherboard
1.5gb of Corsair TwinX DDR400 CAS2.0 ram on dual channels
ULTRA X-Connect 500watt Power Supply (for 10$ after rebates)
Hitachi T7K250 250gb SATA-II drive with NCQ
Connect3d ATi x1600 xt Video Card (Also a 90 Nanometer core!)
Maxtor 80gb (Super O.G.) ATA-133
Maxtor 120gb (Pretty Old) ATA-133
NEC ND-3500 16x dvd burner and my
really old Toshiba SD-M1612 16x DVD player hacked to read burned DVDs!
Every fan is rated less than 25dbA noisewise, except for the thermaltakes. Also each fan has a rubber lining and is screwed in with rubber washers.
Heck the hard disk drive bays have rubber mountings!
Sweet! This puppy better purr. Whenever the rest of the parts arrive!
