congrats to 12 years.

I just updated my tent thousand hour interval today in the silent antec cheaply thread.

see you next year, 10000 hours later.

made it to 60000. I have deciphered high 90s percent uptime. this survived a grotesque build by msi with the 865pe chip. Hyperthreaded etc. that is all documented here..this thread is 8 years old now. that was its first 20000+/- hours...seems a long time ago. http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd255...

a good rule of thumb, inquire about thickness. if a reply of secc 1.0mm , all good.. the rest needs a recycle bin of trash. Then, after you finally get one, get some two part urethane for cars and smother it. Brand name game is useless.

two updates. I made my own case fan a long time ago, started rumbling a few days ago.. bearings and pieces from 13 years in a bin, I grabbed two thin profile ball bearings. Can't remember where I got them. Never used. Sitting in high temp valvoline grease (for my Subaru) for a couple of years. Now e...

Happy birthday Colm! Your dedication to this thread is admirable. I've been reading your updates for years. :-) thanks, if you are still here.. I see the post was in March. I am now closer to 41 than 40. :lol: I bought a multi threaded modem by zoom, the pc is untouched. I did move lan card down on...

including fundamentalist Atheists LOL, could you define what a "fundamentalist Atheist" is? Such nonsensical contortion would be hilarious...actually I'm surprised you didn't use the word "militant". http://lh6.ggpht.com/_WJylQZPr0k8/TJxCgW8kHuI/AAAAAAAAE-Y/86gCsdb1ZSg/s800/Militant%20Atheist.jpg e...

thanks for another review. It has been some years, I still make my own. I may share with spcr what I have done. I still need hefty. old Prescott 3400. right now I have a bearing in front right behind the blade with a rubber spacer, some drilling on the backside to get a clip in...and the old stainle...

You could always continue using the same technology that works perfectly well for you now. This is what they really don't want you to do as computers are far too reliable to need frequent replacement, that's why there is always a need for hyped new stuff. I decided on that some time ago, and agree....

well I made it. 2083 days running = 5.7 years = 50000 hours this seems a youthful wager made years ago, and it took several tries. I shamefully do not have my original ID for silent pc review..but it is a humbling tale. This thread is 7 years old..but there is 5 years prior to this. This place helpe...

hello all, been awhile since october. this should be my last year for this mobo, I may be leaving intel for asus..but still intel...and keeping this box. I am beyond enjoying workstation/server with ecc ram, glad to find the p8b to continue that trend. The ecc is miraculous here, very bad environmen...

as if I give a shit.

no fear of shorts..heatsinks are actually sharper. the edges are folded by hand for the duct. the decibals due to the shape is cool too. I was careful to leave the dome of round steel as well as utilize the exact half round with a premanufactured edge. I only squared up at heatsink with some bends. ...

as colder months move in, I think of some extras for the pc..being indoors closed in. http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd255/soob87/other/DSCN5742w.jpg took the prototype duct that went many hours..made of cardboard, clear tape, and made one out of a stainless steel tractor trailer moon mirror (th...

Very nice custom job on one of our older cases, glad to see people repurposing Antec's cases! :D woops. have not been here since june. once verfying a genuine .8mm.... yes. I did keep it for quite some time, and future too as it is going. I have not had to do anything since the work in previous pos...

"Missing in Finnish wilderness, howling to moon with wolf brethren and walking with brother bears" ^ been missing that one. :) Welcome back! I do recall that one. I do not remember much of anybody here anymore. I check in every couple of months. is this eleven years? holy cow. don't feel bad about ...

I wondered when a post like this would happen. this place reminds me of being a war survivor. the join date does not reveal me. I have been here since the beginning. It was really bad a decade ago. Today, getting ads taken away for being truthful is even at a regular users level posting vids on you ...

been awhile.
still doing good. Alot of think ..I forgot how much time it took to build my own with all the hours that have passed.

This one does not even like to get dirty. Runs for days.

nice review.

I made my own 120mm fan a few years ago...but at 44193 hours, may as well get on a waiting list for the scythe gentle typhoon.

my own fan is still doing very good, sleep next to my pc.

no kids here either.. if life was a gov't, some soldiers need to die defending it. some can claim life sucks if you die doing so... but some are still standing because of the defense. to be caught up in such a selfish thought..."life sucks" it does not last long. the spirit of psychos analyzing, are...

merry xmas to spcr.

my first pc was driving me nuts around this time in 1998.

things have come a long way.
along for the ride to where they are headed.

been awhile since I posted for the non "engrish" crowd "tortowing" this "thwed". this same machine is still running, still xp 90 cooling, home made duct.. the same everything. I did upgrade to ecc ram for the videos a few years ago. 3400mhz http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd255/soob87/HDTune_Heal...

I'd blame the overclock for letting the software blip on by to bother falsefully without permission.

anyone remember when 82810 came out? 2001?
a nerdy glorious time.. I have not had invasions in ten years.

I have not been here in awhile. :roll: my pc pursuits are before my join date..and got what I was goaling for. Environment related. The talks and conversations, I don't need to read even the greatest of realist.. it is all talk saying the same things. act upon just one thing yourself related to envi...

smart or stupid, it is an extreme sprite. the only famous extreme sprites in history are from the threat of death young. live fast and die. that is japan. call it genious, call it what you will.. it is all so grotesquesly stupid, they are just gonna shrink like the land they are loving on. random sp...

I use oem premium,
always do.

did not know of the 3 license deal...

go clean, I find upgrades go goofy perfectly.

I have nothing positive to say.

as evil as a nuclear chain...

interesting. compromise is proving to be the biggest killer of all. safe cars for everybody... there goes all the tin cans from midget places. electronics strong enough... how long would that 13.4mhz crystal last then. the most basic things needed are gone because of compromise. the world is an EGR ...

I learned it by ohms, and material of the cones... it is all so primitive otherwise. and what is cooling the preamps, and how. the post with 4 or 6 ohms.. that seems a car radio. 8 ohms beyond is living rooms and bigger... on the other hand headphones stump me. I just bought 24ohm... I guess they do...

simply means they do not have a real job for applicants..

this is not serious.

falsely diagnosed and life altered is serious...
or integrity too deep to mention publicly.

and that 9% unemployed number.. I thunk its backwards. it is 9% employed, 91% hanging on for dear life.

thorough replies.. I am basic ccleaner and sysinternals autoruns is amazing. the free reg cleaner beyond ccleaners version by Eusing always gives windows a good battle. :lol: I went through drivers list and unchecked a boat load of stuff with "autoruns"...don't know what it did, but it is still unch...
