| TeamXlink | I finished organizing my pc case and cables. | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| TeamXlink | http://teamxlink.imgur.com/new_pc_cable_setup | 00:30 |
| TeamXlink | Made great use of zip ties. | 00:30 |
| snap-l | TeamXlink: What case is that? | 01:20 |
| snap-l | Never seen one like that with a hinge | 01:20 |
| TeamXlink | A Dell Optiplex GX 260. | 01:21 |
| snap-l | (Save for an Apple G3 | 01:21 |
| snap-l | Ah, OK | 01:21 |
| snap-l | Yeah, Dell has some interesting cases | 01:21 |
| snap-l | too bad they generally only fit Dell components. ;) | 01:21 |
| TeamXlink | Yeah. | 01:21 |
| TeamXlink | Do you think this is a good deal: | 01:21 |
| TeamXlink | http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/sys/2325391881.html | 01:21 |
| TeamXlink | Specifically the computer case with the psu? | 01:21 |
| TeamXlink | http://images.craigslist.org/3kd3p53l65V55W45P3b4e1de938825f0b19e0.jpg | 01:21 |
| TeamXlink | http://images.craigslist.org/3kc3m43lf5U35X45R4b4ebb521cf30fb41c39.jpg | 01:22 |
| snap-l | One thing I'd caution is you're going to want to dust that case out pretty often | 01:23 |
| TeamXlink | Why is that? | 01:23 |
| snap-l | You're creating a lot of negative pressure | 01:23 |
| TeamXlink | Oh, in my setup? | 01:23 |
| snap-l | and that air comes from outside | 01:23 |
| TeamXlink | Yeah. | 01:24 |
| snap-l | Yeah, but you'll get that no matter what | 01:24 |
| snap-l | So if you have it on the floor, you'll get dust | 01:24 |
| snap-l | I get that even with a cheap filter on my computer | 01:24 |
| TeamXlink | Alright. | 01:24 |
| TeamXlink | If I got this new case, my graphics card would finally have the recommended 300 wat power, and I wouldn't have to take up all of my drive bays with my second power supply. | 01:25 |
| snap-l | Make sure you check what the PSU model is | 01:25 |
| snap-l | and manufacturer | 01:25 |
| snap-l | Not all are ccreated equal | 01:25 |
| TeamXlink | Alright. | 01:26 |
| snap-l | Also, make sure it's not in a smoker home | 01:26 |
| TeamXlink | Why not? | 01:26 |
| snap-l | 1) You'll never get that smell out | 01:26 |
| snap-l | 2) Cigarettes leave a film on everything | 01:26 |
| TeamXlink | Oh. | 01:26 |
| snap-l | That smoke is impossible to get off of components | 01:27 |
| snap-l | I have an Atari 1050 drive that was owned by a smoker. It still smells like smoke. | 01:27 |
| TeamXlink | If it is from a smokers home, I shouldn't buy it then? | 01:28 |
| snap-l | And that was bought when I was in college. | 01:28 |
| snap-l | TeamXlink: Just know what you're getting into | 01:28 |
| TeamXlink | I'll take your advice and not purchase it if its from a smokers home. | 01:28 |
| snap-l | If it's important to not have your house reak, then you'll not want it | 01:28 |
| snap-l | Also, that looks like a dell / compaq case | 01:29 |
| TeamXlink | The one from craigslist? | 01:29 |
| snap-l | Yeah | 01:29 |
| TeamXlink | Its probably properitary, then right? | 01:29 |
| snap-l | Though there's some strange badge on the right that I don't recognize. | 01:29 |
| snap-l | Doesn't look like it from the pictures, but you'll want to be certain of what you're getting into | 01:29 |
| snap-l | Also, you're in Lansing, right? | 01:30 |
| TeamXlink | Kentwood, actually. | 01:30 |
| snap-l | How far from GR is that? | 01:30 |
| * snap-l is only minorly familiar with west michigan | 01:30 | |
| TeamXlink | Were a sub-city of GrandRapids, I'll find out how far on google maps real quick. | 01:30 |
| TeamXlink | I'm about 11 miles from Van Andel Arena. | 01:32 |
| snap-l | OK. Just make sure to meet somewhere neutral | 01:33 |
| snap-l | McDonalds, etc. | 01:33 |
| snap-l | Don't give them directions to your house, or go to this persons house. | 01:33 |
| TeamXlink | For saftey? | 01:33 |
| snap-l | Yes | 01:33 |
| * snap-l doesn't trust Craig's List. ;) | 01:33 | |
| TeamXlink | lol | 01:33 |
| snap-l | I like the safety of shipping stuff via the post office | 01:34 |
| snap-l | but I understand your situation. | 01:34 |
| TeamXlink | Yeah. | 01:34 |
| TeamXlink | Are there agp to pcie converters? | 01:34 |
| snap-l | TeamXlink: I don't thin there are, nor would you want one | 01:34 |
| snap-l | it'd likely be more than the card is worth | 01:35 |
| TeamXlink | Well, about 3 weeks or so ago, my friend bought me a graphics card for free, http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-HD3650-Video-100258L/dp/B001L62INY Although I wish it wasn't an ATI card, I didn't know of the problems ATI has with OpenGL's vram. | 01:36 |
| TeamXlink | Since then I figured now that one of the most expensive parts was bought, I should start upgradeing my computer. | 01:37 |
| TeamXlink | Eventually I want to have a modern-ish setup. | 01:37 |
| TeamXlink | I've learned a lot which I'm glad about. | 01:40 |
| TeamXlink | For some reason my graphics card is underclocked, a lot. | 04:18 |
| TeamXlink | To get it to the normal clock speed, i have to use an overclockign utitilty. | 04:18 |
| TeamXlink | The standard clocks are: | 04:18 |
| TeamXlink | GPU: 725 | 04:18 |
| TeamXlink | MEM: 325 | 04:18 |
| TeamXlink | The Graphics card always underclocks too: | 04:19 |
| TeamXlink | GPU: 300 | 04:19 |
| TeamXlink | MEM: 323 | 04:19 |
| TeamXlink | Is there anyway to fix this? | 04:19 |
| snap-l | G'morning | 14:20 |
| snap-l | Happy Mothers day, in case there are any mothers on the channel | 16:32 |
| snap-l | Now to do some more dishes | 22:43 |
| snap-l | When will they ever end! | 22:43 |
| rick_h__ | heh, stop cooking | 22:47 |
| _stink_ | or use paper | 22:48 |
