AKHandyman's demise

[Comixion]

Noticed how his posts have declined over the past few days since he got all those new pc toys?
I'm thinking all that sneaking around and hiding HW in different places he's having a hard time relocating each piece.
Or he got busted by the wifey and is grounded to the dog house. Or is it an igloo?
I suggest once he's done he better post pics and specs.;)
We deserve that much.

He probably tried to pet a polar bear, so he's only left with one arm to type with, cutting his posts in half.

[owen]

haha now thats funny.,maybe his wife has finally took control and limited his internet usage.

[Comixion]

Just because he's got all those new pc parts doesnt make him better than us........or does it?
Kinda has his nose stuck in the air now.

I tell ya, there better be pics.

Awwww, come on guys ... Ya'all should know better ... I have had a difficult time this last week with temps being down to -70 and lower. I had the water well pump go kaput, the propane line froze up, and the starter solenoid went out on the new '07 Expenditure ... it was all I could do to just keep up with everything ... :(
But I have found SOME time to play ... :p I have the new vid card in, I changed out the stock NB heatsink and put in the Noctua NC-U6 and attached a 60mm fan to it ... and the Quad is under that Thermalright IFX-14

... and of course I have the Raptors hooked up! (4 total ... 2 are on the cabinet next to the 500GB Seagate 7200.11 and the other 2 are underneath in a cage) All of this here mess will be eventually stuffed into my P182 ... ;)

I ran into a bit of a snag with getting the dual-boot set up, but that was a bonehead error on my part. I forgot to unplug the one 500GB HDD when I setup my RAID 0 config and WindowsXP64 recognized it as my C drive instead of my RAID array ... oh well, shouldn't have been PMing with Comixion while trying to work ...:p

I am still in the process of getting things loaded up ... and don't let me forget that I still have to put in this sound card that I got from some shyster in these forums ... Wonder who that would be ? :rolleyes: ... :D

That's it for now kids, have to take care of some real business around the ole Computer Cabin, so stay tuned ... and thanks for goading me into posting these pics Comixion, without you, I woulda just kept on playing in the sandbox! :D

[owen]

so is this youre main rig? Have you considered putting it all in a case?

[AKHandyman]

Yes, I mentioned under the pic that all of that will be stuffed into my P182, eventually ... :p

[owen]

cool, that will be awesome. Btw that sound card will blow you away :p

[AKHandyman]

cool, that will be awesome. Btw that sound card will blow you away :p
Yea, I am thinking so ... and the price was awesome as well !!! (Thanks Comixion!)

[Comixion]

I wish I had a computer cabin.:bball:

I demanded pics and I forgot I cant see them here at work, depending on where they are linked.

Hows that Razer mouse treating you AK? Tempted to get one from them :D

[AKHandyman]

I love it ... it's actually sometimes too sensitive for me (old age=slow reflexes ... :D) I had one of the original Razer meeses way back when they first came out ... then the company kinda like disappeared for awhile, only to be resurrected by some of the original owners, but with a lot more venture capital behind them. I think that they have truly taken off and improved the world of gaming ... to think that the original owners were like a couple of young guys building those gaming meeses in their garage ... :D

[Devils00Champs]

meeses
did you mean, Mice? :D

[AKHandyman]

did you mean, Mice? :D
No, I meant meeses ... remember Jinx the Cat and the two mice, Dixie and Pixie? Jinx was always going after "those meeses (http://www.jibjab.com/view/118453#login_popup)!"

[Comixion]

"Meeses to peeses"

Now you got me looking at the Razer site.
They have several different types. Which one? hmmm I kinda like.

But I dont know about those buttons on the side. They may interfer with my sniping.

No cordless meese?

[owen]

AK show us some pics of yer mouse!

[Comixion]

I'll take a linkage.

I used to have the original Boomslang Razer, but can't find it ... I ordered the re-make of it a number of years ago ... it was a ball mouse and it had pretty good drivers and support, but the Razer Diamondback is a better fit for me ... and it is still awesome ...
Old Boomslang on the left and newer Diamondback on right

Linky no work.http://www.pasthelp1.esmartweb.com/pissed.x

[owen]

cool mice. How are they for just casual internet use etc?

[Comixion]

I'm about to find out. Gonna get me one.
Just dont know which one I want yet. There's about 6 different kinds.
I wish they had them cordless but I'll cope.
But I'm telling you, if that cord gets in my way just one time, I'll whack it.

[owen]

lol, i heard they come with a cord retentioner so you should be ok.
