What position dost thou see thyself in?

[ciphergoth]

Read too much web comic, must now share the goodness.

And what position dost thou see thyself in five years from this morrow?

Where have all the inspiration cowboys gone?

My Zalman Super Flower CNPS7700-AlCu has arrived. It is huge. Let's hope it fits!

Update: It fits. I got an electric shock and made a small blood sacrifice in the process of fitting it, but it's in. And it's *sooo* quiet!

Fans galore

My current system evolved from my experience with the mini tower, a computer I designed and assembled to fit in my stereo rack... well, the heat was so high the video card would flake-out with random blue stripes, telling me it was time to let it rest for a while. I now have the megatower case, with 5 case fans (one directly blowing on the cpu, 2 for the drive bays and 2 more for exhaust) and, of course, the obligatory Pentium chip fan and aluminum heat sink. So, naturally, the next computer I design for entertainment purposes will be much quieter!!!! (I bought the megatower case for ease of hardware installation too: it has doors, and sliding drive slots that doesn't require me to disassemble the system just to replace the harddrive.) It seems like a trade-off: size -vs- easy maintenance -vs- noise
