Did just watch Tron Legacy (to test my new beamer) and don't understand the hate the movie gets online. It is nice,no masterpiece but really nice with some impressive framing.

Also, my last three Mainboards are ECS ones.. I see a disturbing trend I don't want to admit 😅

The 3000+ came in. She starts, but the fan is running slow and the system shuts down to prevent damage. No problem with that except that it is not easy anymore to find potent socket 462 coolers. Maybe I will adapt some fan to that cooler tomorrow. Just had to test that the CPU is booting.

More work from my backlog, and a personal favorite bc this was my first ever attempt at any sort of character design. The intended platform for this render was IG, which lets you pair stuff with music, so since cant do that here imagine Health is playing lol

So, the fastest 4 core that can run on my ecs Black mainboard is a Phenom II X4 964. Guess what is surprisingly cheap at the moment 😅

Return of the Immersive Sim bundle (Steam game collection) is up on Digiphile ($20 for all) buff.ly/ofKrxau

Well, The K7S7AG is here. Seems like old new stock. Max CPU is a Athlon XP3000+ with 333fsb (400 is out os spec but kinda supported) so I have some on eBay watch. This might become a Win98, Win XP dual boot. I have a voodoo 2 without a permanent home at the moment, but this seems to be a good place

I kinda like the small 92mm alpha cool fans.

Ok.. I just bought a ECS K7S7AG with onboard Xabre 200. Someone has to take eBay away from me 😅🙈 but it was unused and with box and all accessories. Strange that the pictures on the retro web show a slightly different layout. Will check that when it is here.

So.. how is #n7day going?

Look, a forbidden pillow

I try to free myself from Amazon..

Okay, hear me out. I don't hate the RX6400. Was it peak "not reading the room" for AMD? Yes.. but this is imo the definition for a Display Adapter. And prices are sliding into the right range. This asus has a way to big cooler. Only two display outs is wild tho.

Haven had an am2+ board in some time. It was more of an impulse tho. With box, manual and io shield.

Oh man.. she is here, and it seems like she did not have a tough life. I don't even know how to mangle that slot without other damage on the PCB. But testing is on the weekend.

Feeling less sick today and was tired of being stuck in bed. So with all the Tron talk, I did a couple quick and dirty sketches to see if I could come close to hitting the look of the original. Might try to do more with it?

So.. I have won an auction with this little gem in it. Hope she lifes. Should arrive this week. The braked is gambled tho.

I am kinda stupid 😅 I need a use case for an Nvidia Grid now..

I am really not sure I do the homelab stuff right.. on the other hand, that's just my personal wind down hobby. The right one got a new (but old) board. Dual E5 2680 V4 Xeons (28 cores 56 threats together) with 128 gigs. It doesn't make sense for me to have this kinda stupid system, it is fun tho..

The vibe is the same..

Back in the days, when I worked at IT, we sold these in the thousands. Now two have a permanent home at my place. Quick test did boot into win 2k, and caps look overall good. I know that some parts are on the underengineered side, it was a budget board after all. Will not be pushed hard anymore.

I don't know if there is some silver horizon for BioWare.. but I really hope tho.

Ah, that is some 2k shooter stuff.

Also, it is the time to get some DDR2 modules.

The light did catch it just right ☺️

Who does not know it, you stray through eBay and buy another multi CPU system.. on accident.. dual 2011 with two 14core xenon's (E5-2680 v4 Broadwell E) and 128 gig of ECC ram. I believe 512gb of ram might be doable on the cheap.

Look who got to exited for his own good 😅

There are parts when you realize that Caddy's and Touran's are not brothers but more like distant cousins. Did you know the window rails are on an different lane? No? The door trim fits, I can modify the wire loom to work.. but I really did not expect to have the window not longer fitting.

New label maker, since my old one is on "long term lending" 😅. You don't need them, until you need them. I hate hand written labels on network, car wires and stuff. Specifically on my camper conversion I started, no way without proper labels.

I bought an Terra Laptop.. für super cheap. Core i5 2450m, 8gb ram. Swappable battery, that is still available. A really good base for car diagnostic software. I mean, could find an i7 for it, not sure tho.

Leg day IS hell

A pillow trim, heavy duty stuff hard to pull, but works for a caddy

Did carpet the a pillow.. little steps, little steps..

Far from done even for the dash alone, but it does take form. Does not look like a caddy anymore.

Finally the other direction. First carpet is down, and I did get everything from the Touran, so I will have ventilation for the back as well.

The Internet is crazy at the moment.. so I am ripping out my dashboard from my caddy. Way calmer. I have the new seats already, but first I want to change the carpet.

I did a stupid thing.. I bought a well used Caddy. Plan is a mini camper that is easy daily use (so the camping stuff has to get out). Also I have a lot of Touran parts at hand, and a lot of that just bolts on.

I did build my niece her first computer for her upcoming birthday, she doesn't know it tho.

Customer be like: what is the quick and easy fix?

Microsoft sucks right now. some empathy workshops could help them.. for the leading staff.

Empty cases who beg that I do something with them..

Imagine shipping the cooler unprotected with the motherboard in the same box.. eBay stuff.. seems the board did survive tho. But better not include it then.

Mmm.. what arche type is #Frieren?

First day 24h #nürburgring Green hell 💚

Ghost in the rain #peripeteia

Cleaning day for the 9800 GT. This is so cutie cute. I might look out for a sli partner 😅 that would be such a dumb useless system, like myself.

I got an 9800 GT with 1gb DDR 3. Nothing special but I liked the design. Tomorrow is cleaning and testing. Blue PCB, I might be predictable.

So.. apple really liked Windows XP after all it seems.

America is weirdly like that uncle no one invites anymore.

Ah.. bad day.. but not for me. I had nothing to do with that
