Built myself the Mac Pro's "Special cousin" in-bred clone: It runs a dual core i3 2100 $87 Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 board $89 4GB AMD PC3-8500 (2x 2GB) $23 Sapphire Radeon 6670 1GB $78 and then I got a locally-designed Devanni Nitrous Case for $60 on craigslist Pulled out my RocketRAID...

I had a gigabyte board I spent almost $350 on (really nice, it supported Tri SLI/CrossFire X setups) whicht he UEFI was so crappy Windows wouldn't boot when it was enabled. It bluescreened just booting off the DVD. Also, Linux would KP. The board wasn't defective, the UEFI bios was that crappy...

Looking on ebay, another 2GB is $30. That's not too bad for an expensive option. That gives you four, especially if it's octo-core. You should have 8 RAM slots at that. Even then, if it has 512MB Slots, it's not *too* bad I guess. don't argue with free. Eventually FB-DIMMs will come down in...

Bummer. I had an SE/30. I loved it. Really fast even when I had it (1997) and the screen I had was crisp with no burn it. Wicked fast on Black and White stuff. Even played Spectre challenger in the old days on it (black and white) as well as Tetris. I used to use a zip drive with it and a...

so... my droid charge bit the dust for the second time. verizon wireless decided that instead of giving me a different phone they would replace it with an equally defective droid charge refurbished... after me having to wait 3 weeks to get it. it's under warranty but 3 weeks is too long to be...

Well, I have no sisters, but my brother is 3.5 Years older than me. He knew enough to immediately buy stock in Apple when Steve Jobs came back. He bought at around $5/share and sold at around $260/share years later. Made a killing, he did. Probably should've held out just a wee bit longer...

I am probably wrong, but I thought there was a Multi-Processor 68040 NEXT Machine. Then again, I think it was here-say, My brother was most likely wrong.

The Honda was a Honda Accord LX 1997 Model (with a '98 engine) The VW is gonna get a little TLC. Gotta replace the timing belt and the like. Ditto on water pump. Oil change was just done about 50 miles before I bought it. It's a fun car to drive. I did get more (better pics) but instead of...

Pics from the ads

Will post pics later. I just sealed the deal (and purchased) a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta. 5-Speed, 4 Cylinder, 2.0 Liter Jetta, heated seats, heated mirrors. 120HP. lots of pep, 6 CD Changer (Lol, who uses CDs these days?) AM/FM/Cassette, Digital KeyFOB, 25MPG (easily), power sunroof, Power...

Oh, on the plus side, a customer handed me a smaller (less powerful) Weller soldering station. He didn't need it and got it free. It might work well. It is temp controlled somewhat, the knob goes from 1-9, but that's it. I have no idea what temp it reaches. The sponge is very old, so it would...

Trawling craigslist, I came across an iBook G4. I thought to myself "Wow, that looks awfully familiar!!!" I contacted the seller, it matched the iBook stolen from my car, and inquired how he got it. He said he found it on the side of the road outside his house and brought it in. I asked if I...

So I saw yesterday cray released a new super computer (I know, I am a sucker for cray. it just fascinates me along with super computers and mainframes in general) but it strikes me with an interesting question. Has anyone built a super computer in the old ages using Motorola 680x0 chips? I...

I think they used the master key. It was found over the weekend in carter lake Iowa. And the link below has the results: https://picasaweb.google.com/pledoux/StolenHondaAccord?authuser=0&feat=directlink They stole parts of the engine, trashed the console, stole the air intake system, took...

So October 31st, some idiot decided they would be funny and stole my honda accord. In it was a 1.2Ghz 14" iBook G4. I also lost 2 iPods (Mini and Nano). While in Colorado, at a marriot, some staff thought they would take the opportunity when a fire broke out in Colorado springs to go into...

Oh yeah, I also got a customer that threw a Toshiba Pentium M at me with 512MB PC-2700 and a DVD-+RW DL and 15" LCD. She spilled wine into it and decided she didn't want it fixed. There is no WiFi no ability to add internal, but I set about doing something I did with an iBook G4. I pulled it...

yes. he has the original box. You want to buy? He didn't have the cable, but he had the original power adapter. luckily it was the corrected version (non rectangular plug metal, it was the angled version at the ends that was corrected). I had to source a cable for the iPhone and iPod mini...

Conquered a few devices lately. Vintage iDevices. Up first, my friend threw his old iPhone 2G at me. 8GB. Screen is in good condition, won't go past iOS 3.x.x so it will stay unless I decide to Jail Break it. The other thing is my mom gave me her old iPod Mini (6GB MicroDrive). I am not sure...

I went over to help my dad on his computer. Picked up a few viruses he was unable to get rid of and I was setting up a new Roku box and for some reason the Airport Extreme 802.11b/g base station wouldn't allow devices to join the wireless network. I went to reset it, pulled out my MacBook Pro...

amazing what a little goo-gone will do and a good washing. Also the bottom is white again. When my friend bought it, he worked as a newspaper carrier and it was all covered with the ink from papers. Well no more!
