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