Two reasons

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Wow, so I definitely should be in bed right about… oh 2 hours ago.  Problem is I can’t sleep… Actually already went to “bed” a while ago, only to find that laying in bed doing nothing makes sleeping even harder.  First problem is that I’ve recently ordered a killer water cooling setup for my compy!  When I say killer I mean Swiftech 655 pump, Black ICE GTX 480 radiator, four Delta TFB1212GHE fans, and a Swiftech Apogee GT water block… I mean FREAKING KILLER!!!  I should of had everything for it Wednesday of this week, but some delays in ordering made it to where that’s not gonna happen, and everything won’t get here until Tuesday.  All of that stuff just got its final approval to be sent out today so I’m all excited about being able to watercool the crud out of my computer!  We’re talking heat dissipation like no other!  880 cubic feet of air circulating through my computer every minute, that’s on average 840 cubic feet a minute more air than most peoples computers, plus my CPU is water chilled.  Sure, here in a week when I fire up my computer it’s going to sound like a B-2 taking off, but uh… so what’s your point?  Do you have something against big multi-prop airplanes in your living room?  These fans put off a good 65 decibels of sound each…. let’s put that into perspective… I’ve got a surround sound system that we use for our downstairs it has a built in DVD player and that’s the real reason I hooked it up since our old one died, used to have it in my room… anyways… by no means is this thing “top of the line” but it does it’s job, and it does it well.  The loudest it goes to is 80 decibels, generally no one ever takes it above 50 decibels as that’s a good noise level without being annoying…. these fans are louder than your television is even capable of ever going on it’s own!!!! And I’m using four of them.  Now some of you are thinking I’m a little bit crazy right now… no, you’re not incorrect, but I do have reasoning behind choosing these fans.  First off my obsession with quality, these fans are the best nothing on the market moves more air or has a higher pressure both extremely important in computer cooling needs.  Secondly it is my evil plot to teach other people in the house to TURN THE COMPUTER OFF WHEN YOU’RE DONE WITH IT!!! So I figured if I have fans as loud as my sound system cranked people will turn the computer off at night.  Lastly, because nobody else I know has them… simply put I’ll be the only person at the LAN party’s I go to with more than 50 computers the only one that sounds like a dang B-2 and cools like no other will be muy.  I used to be the guy with the biggest case, but since then a couple other people got Lian-Li’s because they are the best, and nothing shy of amazing… so now I need something else that everyone can go “yeah, he’s the guy with the utterly loud computer that blows your hair around when you’re standing 10 feet away from it.”  Yup… so I’m pretty stoked about getting all my stuff in so that I can start cutting my case up and installing everything.

Still Alive

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Hey guys, just dropping in to say that, yes, I am still alive.  I know I had the whole update every day thing for a while, but that’s been kind of crazy with the job and all, working 50+ hours a week :-( paychecks have been good at least :-D Oh well, one day I will get back to updating from time to time.  I’ve actually got plenty of stuff saved and somewhat ready to be posted, mostly just notes that I’ve taken for blog entries and titles to them… but who knows if they’ll ever manifest into full blown blog entries, or if they’ll just simmer up there with the titles and little notes until one day I decide that that title would be awesome for something else… ya never really know now do ya?
