New computer build for client

Build this massive computer behemoth for a client.  It has two Veliceraptors (300GB x 10kRPM) although not in any RAID configuration.

Unit consist of:

  • Motherboard: ASUS M2N
  • Memory: 4GB Kingston basic
  • Video Card(s): 2x ASUS 9600GT nVidia based
  • CPU: 5600+ AM2
  • PSU: Antec NeoPower 550W PSU

Here are some pictures:

The unit runs pretty smooth.  I tried to convince these guys to go the Intel route but they didn’t want to.  So, we got them the best of the best of my old favorite, AMD.

It still runs like a beast though.

Work work work

Not much going on, just fixing a few units.  Kind of slow actually.  Waiting for work to pick up.  Need to make more money this pay period.

I want to pick up a pair of Technics 1210 M5G turntables.  They’re constantly sold out at Amazon.  Been waiting for a while now.  Someone is selling ONE for $799.99.  That’s rape.

Work has been hectic

Since the renovation has been done, an extreme amount of space has opened up.  I have a lot of work area but things are still quite hectic.  Too many problems, too little solutions.  But, as one must persevere, food has to be put on the table and clothes on our children’s backs.

If one could do nothing and be happy all day, one would, but times are rough and you gotta do what you gotta do.

I may be in a writing hiccup zone soon.  Haven’t had the urge to write much.

I really blame it on WordPress and K2 not working well with each other.  Too many damn bugs and no solutions.

Speaking of the devil, I posted two threads, once at the Windows Live Writer forum and another at the K2 forum.  The K2 forum RARELY gets any response.  I went to check the WLW forum and sure enough a moderator has checked on it for me and gave me the information needed to get the blog working again.

It was a matter of editing a CSS file and removing the img tag from a group of tags that were all bunched together and adding it’s own attributes on another line.  It now works.  I can wrap text around pictures.  Let’s just hope this is a fix fix and not just a temp fix.  I don’t plan on updating the K2 to any other version in the mean time.
