Title: Facit upgrade
Post by: vils on Fri, 07 September 2012, 16:25:31
Did a week-end work for a friend and was paid in computer parts. So now my old Facit machine (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=4116.0) will get an upgrade.
From 2GB of ram to 16 from Corsair (http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-low-profile-16gb-quad-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cml16gx3m4x1600c8.html). Definitely a overkill but why not. The weakest part in the system, a GeForce 8400 gs, will be replaced by a GeForce GT 430 from Asus (silent).
For more boost I'll install the OS on a new Intel 520 SSD 120gb. Finally I will change my CPU-cooler from a Noctua NH-C12p to a Noctua NH-L12 to solve some clearance and airflow issues. (http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=2272938&postcount=62)

I'm also building on a new screen mount. After that only a good 4:3 monitor remains to be obtained.

Painted a floor. :) Almost 20 hours of work with all preparations.

So the two of you "painted the floor" together. I see.....  ;D

Was it anything like the potter's wheel scene from Ghost? Which one was Demi?

You all have to much imagination.

As long as it was all consensual.

At least that-s what I-m assuming. :-*
