Computers (General): January 2007 Archives

   With the new move, I'll most likely be missing from the internet scene for a week at the most. First, I have to get the cable internet setup at the new place. Second, I have to get another wireless/wired router as the current one is owned by Bubu and not me.
   I was worried that a good new router would set me back around fifty dollars. Luckily, I know of a good place to get cheap stuff. The selection was actually quite good and I quickly picked out a cheap (because it was refurbished) 802.11g router.
   Mind you, I haven't yet ordered it. But, I will tomorrow. That should be more than enough time to get here by time I get the cable internet sorted out.

   Ah, my good 'ole gaming PC. It does the job well when I call on it to do something. The only real problem I have is that it gets hot. A little too hot for my tastes. Mind you, when I leave the case cover off it actually stays about the right idling temperature for its sort of precessor.
   So, using my Thomas-design sense, I've decided to replace the case cover with a aluminum screen. It will keep hands, especially mine, out of the case while still allowing maximum air flow throughtout it.
   I haven't actually gotten around to putting it on but I plan to. I have more than enough, too.

   I finally got around to successfullly flashing the Geforce 4 that I had lying around for the G4. Sadly, although the modified Mac ROM was properly flashed onto it, it still fails to work. No video whatsoever.
   Its not a really big deal since it was a cheap-ass card in the first place. I've still got some things I can do, though.
