lol.. Crazy thing is the last time I got the itch... By the end of the week I had 36 rigs crunching.. but that was when we first started... I remember @A novice telling me if I could figure out how to crunch with a toaster I would do it.. lol hence my Duron 700 @ 800Mhz... lol :roll:

i would like to install it to all the server I see xD or computer, but can't do this to customer haha
 
both systems up and crunching.:toast:
had a broken power connector. Plugged the HDD to another connector and its working now.:clap:
 
So team, what is on your black friday wishlist. As in, if it has a really good deal you might snag one. I am hoping for some really really good deals on a strong gpu.
 
Nothing that I can think of. Can't afford motherboard/cpu combos, or decent GPU's this year. Might snag a good Seasonic power supply if they go on killer sale. They had the dang X series 1200 Seasonic's on NewEgg Shell Shocker yesterday for a $110!!! I think they sold out in less than a hour.
I am thinking they will go on sale for about the same on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
 
GTX 750 Ti for less than $90 (and not one of the cheap brands)
128 GB SSD for <$40:eek:

Just looked at my NE history. I bought my Seasonic SS-660XP2 on Christmas day 2013, for, IIRC, $60 after MIR.
 
About the only thing I could do to This Ultrabook, now, is get a sticker of Racing Stripes!!
:laugh:

8GB Kingston Hyperx 1600, first upgrade, from hynix 4gb and hynix 2GB OEM.
Intel 7260 Dual Band WiFi adapter card, from an 11n Atheros card.
Now, the Crucial MX100 256GB.

Aside from unsoldering the 3317u i5 for another IB Mobile chip, which I won't do, I have upped it, To THE MAX!!

:D
 
Alright, I've dug around my computer supplies at home and found another i5-mobile that I'm bringing back to school to set up tomorrow :toast:
So that should be a 3770k and an i5-540M going by this time tomorrow night. 24 hours late is regrettably, but better than nothing :toast:
 
The second 3770k is now set up! :toast:

The i5-mobile is giving me grief--still working on getting it operational.
 
Ok guys, just for you, I didn't know where to post it, but here's the final result or the main rig:

Sweet rig sir! :cool: :respect:
 
A very tidy setup indeed!
 
I am quite happy of the result of the rig and of the picture haha. The first one is the one I prefer :D

Could get another R9 290, or getting the newer AMD or nvidia later. But for now, that rig is enought powerfull for me, a little bit more with the 4770kvs the 2700k, but not that more in the benchmark aswell.. Found out that 3dmark is a bit better, wprime not that better (since 100mhz less), but I am sure, that crunching is better :D

and thats why it is now under water, running 100% for the winter!
 
i5 Mobile also set up:

No idea if it's actually doing Turbo, but I assume that it is given the temps (just under 70C ATM).
 
Hey guys, I'm asking here before just in case, I was looking for 2x SSD 64gb same brand, or another Crucial M4 64gb. Trying to separate OS from DATA HDD in my server. Would like to do Raid 1 as I am a crazy paranoid :)

or I could grad 2 velociraptor 150gb for cheap. Maybe if it can be under warranty :)

The USB WiFi adaptor I was using on Karnten (the i7-4770) system broke--does anyone have a suggestion for a cheap replacement?

I'm glad. That would have tortured me, especially since I did not wait and went out and bought 2 laptop drives recently. I knew there were some deals like this coming along.:banghead:
