Programming or just loading apps and backups? As much as you've been talking about programming, it sounded like you'd gotten a new job.

Fredi left off the "bater" at the end, though. Will have to get Ede to tell him to fix that.

Yea, it worked it self out... There is a snake in the grass that needs to be paid back though!!! :evil:

The rig is up & running real fast. I can feel the difference in everything I do with it over the 2500 I had... It's going to take awhile to get things settled down & find out what she does & if she'll OC to 2.6...

See you have things figured out, the pics were really nice. Hard to believe you can stuff that much in one box. Hope everything goes better the rest of the day. Happy to see you got your Title that you deserve.

Here's another thing I found tearing down my machine.. The thing was a friggen dust bunny, & I mean serious!!!! I've moved the machine, tried everything I know of to keep the dust out of the dam thing... It's plugged in 2 months at the most...

So, I've had it!!!! I've put my mind to work to come up with a plan that's called "Appropriate Technology", a term coined in the Peace Corp... Use what you got around that will solve the problem.....

Here's what I came up with & thought I'd bat it around a bit to see if it has merit.... :evil:

I figure on going out & buying some pantyhose!!!! That's right, Pantyhose!!!! I'll turn the case upside down & put the pantyhose on the case from the bottom up... I figure the elastic bad of the pantyhose would snugly fit around the case... As for size?? I'll ask the wife if I need a pair of full figured ones or not.... I'll put them up high enough so I can still use the door to get to the ROM.. That way they wouldn't cover any exhaust fans, only intake fans will be covered!!! Tie the legs of the pantyhose around the legs of the case, to make it look tidy.... Turn case over... Job completed!!!!!

Now, I want to see the dust get through that friggen case filter!!!!! :wink:

Whacha think about that????????

Well I don't know RC...Dust Bunnies propagate at a furious rate and now you are going to cover your case with something that has a Crotch on it.

You could get bang bang banged into next week ROFLOL. I wonder if they will keep out viruses :wink:

NO it was clean I saw the tie-wraps!!

As for dust well I guess the pantyhose will work. I put my P.C in the dinning room but it is right next to a floor mounted cold air return for the furnace........

In the winter I have to tear the P.C down every 2 months and clean it. I could just blow it out with a can of air but the wife and I smoke so all the dust sticks to the cooling fan blades like concrete.

If we stopped smoking my computer would be much healthier and so would we.

I also vacuumed out our furnace ducts and that helped out allot.

They repaved the residential street last summer took them a year to do everything my backyard patio furniture had grit and dust on them continually. It was real nasty around her for a long time. Now that the new pavement is down since last fall and this winter things have been better. This summer is going to be real nice and clean.

ALERT!!

Porn police enter RC's place but find no incriminating downloads on his Hard Drives. However the police are filing a law suit against him as one of the female officers was offended by the fact that the pantyhose on his Machine were smaller then the ones she was wearing :cool:

I had to take my case out of my desk, it would load solid in 3 weeks there... Not it's setting beside the desk & it will go longer between cleanings, but I keep fighting the dust... I smoke as well, & you can tell it on the fan blades....

Y'know, I don't think that's a bad idea. Obviously tell your wife beforehand, because if she catches you buying pantyhose... oooooohhh mmmyyyyyyy![/IronMike]

Ya know, what he really should have done is either one of these:

Option A) Get the wife to buy them for him.
Option B) If he declines Option A, at least don't tell us he's going to buy panty hose.

Hey...RC....they're playing your song on the radio right now. Could that be.....Aerosmith?! "Du-nuh, du-nuh, Dude looks like a laaaaa-dayy!"

You puttin' them thar panteh hose around just the front, or the whole thing? Sounded like the whole thing. Under the panels, right? Seems like it may be almost as much of a pain to change that thing when it gets clogged as it is to take dust off the parts.

Might wanna pick up more than one, for trial and error. As much as I hear the wifey bitchin' about it, those things rip to shreds pretty easy, just with round women's legs&toes, much less metal case corners. *shrug*

See, I thought that was the beauty of it.... When I sweep the carpet, I can suck the dust off of it then... I could also see how fast it builds up & if need be I could devise a plan B....

Ahh, okey dokey. Hope it's easy to get to. Can't get to any of your pics right now, so can't tell what ya'd have to do to get at it.

Filter I have now just slips in and out the bottom front, so I wrap something around that, and it changes out in a sec.
