TerminalRaptor: Nov 6, 2012; Mostly Harmless

Looking at cases recently, it pissed me off that almost evey mid- tower had 0 drive bays. Then I was even more disturbed when I couldn't remember the last time I used my DVD drive for anything.

I would have thought I would have popped in x- com or something from my old collection.

Just replaced the wax seals on this ma'. Double ring, natch.
Here it is, ready to compile, serial port and backplane exposed.

Extended bowl, comfort height. Soft close on the gasket. Closed loop water cooling. Fanless.

Dustcover in place, standby mode:

Really nice, stable, runs Windows 10 fine. Sometimes runs a little toasty.

what I really want out of my pc is that it doesn�t turn into a dust monster. it�s like it takes the dust from the entire house and puts it behind itself

I need a dust filter machine I think

# ? Feb 14, 2020 09:29

Jabor: Jul 16, 2010; #1 Loser at SpaceChem

it's impossible

you have moving air carrying dust. the air goes into the computer, but some of the dust hits the intakes and gets stuck there. more and more dust builds up over time, until you eventually get skeezed out enough to bother cleaning it up

best you can do is get removable filters that you can pull out and take the dust off really easily

i guess you could do a water cooled setup going to a big passive radiator. the less air movement, the more dust will just settle out wherever it started rather than building up on your computer specifically.

my rig has the power button on top which means if i want it off for any meaningful length of time i have to to unplug it cause the cat will inevitably turn it on again

I had to enable some virtualisation bullshit in the bios to get vmware running just now, and I ran thru some EZ-TUNING thing and it suggested an 11% increase in CPU speed

rescued this the other week

Symbolics 3640, one of the smaller members of the 3600 family

still has a couple of free slots, so my friend it�s going to can add the floating point accelerator and maybe another few megawords of RAM, and really take advantage of the fact that it requires a 20A circuit to itself

it already has a pair of several hundred megabyte full-height SMD drives too, though they�ll probably be replaced with emulated MFM for load bands, worlds, & pagefiles, and everything else will be over the network

it took three of us to get it into and out of the back of my friend�s SUV, it�s about 300lbs

still lighter than the Apollo DN10000, that thing is neutronium or something it�s so goddamn dense
