4 desktop towers, laptop and push cart.
lots of tangled wires an issue.

dual socket f system is ddr2 and also sata2
installing os seems similar problem as the sata2 ssd in the network box as using sata3 ssd in the dual socket.
cpu temps seem high to start in the dual socket rig as minimal effort in applying heatsink for initial startup of the system.

priority upgrades include:
pushcart/openairrig add inline pump and 2ndry PSU to allow option of inline water or sump pump and identify toggle switch options.
decide if to mount a vehicle radiator hard mounted outside for the winter season.
increase soft copper to 1/2" from 3/8" diameter as most likely smaller diameter is restricting sump pump.
adapter fittings from G1/4" to Brass and Soft Copper.
also more valve options.

HP/Compaq rig operating as network box may possibly be time to trade out the motherboard/mainboard.
Socket AM3 may be utilized as sataIII and place the current sataII HDD and SSD into the dual socket f system.
This would also allow to utilize expansion slots currently unavailable in the current motherboard which is also limited to 4GB DDR3.

3 systems here could use upgrade to 16Gb DDR3
media box APU could use a GPU

etc. etc. etc...

Found myself shaking dust off 20 year old tree feller skills these last couple days.
Fell a couple dozen that would decrease solar panel output with foliage on.
2 separate locations.

That's a skill I never learned. With my luck I'd hit the house.

You know how they say nothing like experience and dive head first.
The term "Flying Dutchman" can be used here.
lol

One cut straight off the stump and run like hell.

lol

Just Saying .......

That's pretty darn respectable. What type of cooling were you using for this?

FYI, I have no idea if it's an actual cat in there or just a local rat as it's just a meme pulled from FB. Either way, here is a more cat friendly on that made me chuckle a bit. Plus I love rottie's.

Cold water as usual Blay. Nice snake BTW

Unfortunately the day after Blaylocks' cat has his breakthrough album hit the shelves,

The pic the mainstream media doesn't want you to see.

New memory kit.

Got to at least research the VMachine today.
PXE booting and FreeNAS.
This should work nicely as first layer of the hypervisor.

Corsair SSD SATA II in route 120 GB.
256 GB SATA III SSD in route from local forum.
G. Skill 2 x 8 GB 1600 MHZ Tridentx in route.

Hows Everyone?

Waiting for stuff from ebay...

Did my 2nd oil change on the Corolla today. Trying out some Penzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic oil. Supposedly made from natural gas which i know burns clean so I guess the oil should clean better / be cleaner?

Guess we will see in 6000 Km at the next oil change.

Thinking about picking up a ZVS driver + coil to make an induction melter for aluminum and possibly making aluminum bronze. I've always wanted a foundry actually.

Interesting project, melting down and purifying metals. etc....


I would think 6000 Kilometers would be just barely enough to start turning any full synthetic motor oil.
im no mechanic.
each situation different.
