Your PC ATM

Dropped the GTs as they were getting a bit squeaky (will have to take them apart and see if I can grease them)... And so the beige invasion continues...

Pro tip, get the smallest syringe and fill with teflon oil, insert needle right thru the back sticker dead center and squirt a couple drops.
 
Put my old Eisbaer into use again, original hoses replaced with 10/13 ones. The other hose probably had got some UV from a led strip from my main PC. More than enough for 2600K @ 4.5GHz.

e: And yeah, the pump-block is held with two screws, the backplate is partially broken so I can't use all four. :shadedshu:
 
aren't those tube too long? and why 90° degree fittings?
what you had before ?
 
Didn't bother cutting 'em because I already filled and leak-tested it. I had those 90 degree fittings lying around so I used them. :)

this tube look risky, maybe If I would be you, I would consider swapping the 90 degree fit from your rad on your wb... I had a CLC way back few years ago, (now im full air, you can see my rig at #4187330 and #4142189) and few tubes had the same problems they look good in the start, until one day I got a tube that was "choking" and got very high temp on cpu and didnt even know, so risky!
 
It's perfectly fine, it looks like it's kinking, but it's not. :) 72C max in load, so no worries.
 
Updated my main PC with 5700xt

I was thinking I have some parts laying around from my 775 PC...my first "serious" PC I used for a long time. Anyhow, all parts are working and it looks to me a 775-Retro-Rig is coming or may be a 775-DTX-Retro-Rig? The bigger board has Q9505 CPU, the smaller Foxconn one, basically doesn't have a CPU. It supports only three models quad core: Q8200S, Q9400S and Q9550S (must up to 65W). First two are easy and cheap to find, but the third one...oh boy...too expensive IMO for such an old tech. What I don't have already is some form of storage to give to this build. I went it and bought the cheapest SSD around with warranty and door-to-door shipping (turn out to be WD Green 120 GB as of moment of writing). The north-bridge coolers are cute, but they have been in the cupboard for years. RAM is Kingston DDR2 1066 Mhz. I have to clean, change pads and hit the fan of the GTX295 with high-performance silicon lubricant...that is a project of its own ;)

That GTX 295 looks colossal when compared to that mITX board :laugh:

I liked those Zalman northbridge coolers back in the day, a perfect replacement for a noisy chipset cooler which had a fan. I remember having those in VIA KT133A and NForce 3 Ultra boards.
 
One last picture of the old girl before she is retired :cool:

Such a lovely setup!
Is that Your basement? whats up with that huge crack in the floor?

Thank you sir.

Yes its the basement, the engineer said because of the material, and location that it is normal for the area. The house itself has been fortified in all the right areas and is structurally sound. The ground heaved a little but is settled now. I wish it was my subwoofers that caused that, unfortunately it would be a lie :laugh:

There is a NAD T748, MIssion M73, 73C, M3DS, Monitor Audio FB210, Tannoy TFX, and Monster HDP-1800. Its all fairly old stuff, but it still sounds fairly decent.

It’s got good bass, but I fell asleep about 45 into it., I was tired she just left me on the couch with no blanket. It’s only winter.

I probably only made it a half hour in because I don’t remember much after the hotel when she woke up.
 
Remove that sticker from the side panel :D
 
After a couple of years, I finally washed down my old R4. Both of my boys were toddlers running around the case at the old apartment. There was bottle milk, boogers, marker, pen, and some unknowns. But she is nice any shiny. I grabbed a few old CoolerMaster fans circa 2004-6 I believe, to light up Mario and Luigi. That is there favourite game, next to GTAV and Roblox. :shadedshu:
