I hear ya.. Some "friends" have been good to me.
Something that you don't forget.

All this talk of machines, time to go upstairs, make coffee and see if I can get something together that may make a few points for the team..
back later..

Output should hopefully stay the same but the power bill will drop by swapping two Q6600s for an i7!

Yeah i fell into that pit many times. In my case, power bill is near the roof, since i generally don't have the heart to remove the old rigs, just find them something else to do ( i may have to get wifey pregnant again, otherwise how could i excuse another quad @ home ?? )

Damn, Jaime. That's me!

I've gotten a little better, though. I still have Socket A systems around here ( not runing! ), as well as A64 and X2's ( only running one of them ). If the power bill wasn't so high I'd run everything I could!!

Just finishing the hard part on a new build.
All I'm going to say is don't start work when your tired.
Started the other night, dropped the cpu and bent 9 pins.
Just spent an hour straightening them and then praying to the cpu God that they'd make it into the socket..they did, pulled it out and all is good..
Oh yea, this isn't a Intel build..

Lool...I finally managed to convince wifey to install rig for the little Libby ( she is 1year+3month old ) so i built something really nice with some acrylic case i had, cool cathodes and a little q6600

Only thing left now is my vapo with some lga775 kit i bought for it, but no cpu nor mobo available. Vapo sucks quite a lot of juice, so i'd like to put in there some nice quad overclocked to death...we'll see

**[XC] serlv** · 06-28-2009, 01:50 PM

LOL. No wonder you've been running so strong lately; a Q6600 for your 15 month old daughter!
Ya gotta start 'em young. Can you imagine what kind of software developer she'll be if she sticks with it?
I love the any-excuse-to-get-another-rig-going mentality. I can relate a bit...

Well Daniel ( he is 5 y.o ) started at that age as well, he's been using now a nice build around an E8400. Obviously, he is now a comp. wiz, so i didn't change it to a q6600 for him since he plays quite a lot, but i am looking for some way to upgrade it to an i7 920 or so. Thing is, like i told Dave a while back, i have exhausted all my excuses...I have now 2 mediacenters, both q6600, 4 little bombs in my ehm ehm *office*

( two q6600 @ 3.6, dual harper 5492, and latest addition i7 965 not overclocked yet ).
I am now working into building a pbx around asterisk ( i guess those guys never saw what i'm going to build to run asterisk :-) ) which is the only good reason i found, but it's gonna take time...
Luckily, i've been blessed by a wife not only beautiful and a great mother, but she accepts my hobbies and even sometimes pushes me to it furthermore...

Not too shabby considering the competition!

Based on the numbers shown for the month that's 18,038,160 WCG points per year for one machine!

And oh she does hum such a perdy tune!

I know we're all hoping she'll loosen up and sing us an

operetta

some day!

We can all hope and dream
