One for the Nerds

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

It’s been a pretty quiet week…thanks to my new Antec Solo with 120mm case fan!

They say that, in a tower, you can see a reflection of the builder. Here’s mine in the piano-quality finish.


The insides are the same as always. Biostar PT880 Pro-A7C; 3.2-Ghz Prescott; 768Mb DDR, Geforce FX5200. Only now they run about 10°K cooler.

I also discovered that I had SATA connectors on my motherboard all this time and haven’t even looked at hard drive prices.

And, I finally, after much procrastination, reflashed the firmware of my WRT54G to dd-wrt v24 so I can broadcast multiple SSIDs, therefore enabling internet access on the downstairs computer (the one running Ubuntu 8.04) with a wireless PCI card.

And that was my spring break. You may pity me now.
