I still need a new case. I have no hard drive bays or 5.25-3.5 inch adapters.
I have vague memories of my earlier grade classrooms having a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisys_ICON"]Unisys Icon[/URL]. [IMG]http://jasoneckert.net/blog-2005-to-2012/Entries/2009/5/9_The_Unisys_Icon_files/Unisys_Icon.jpg[/IMG] On another note, Heavy Rain is fucking awesome though I got to a pretty depressing part and started up Red Dead Redemption instead.
I remember when i left my primary school (back in 2005/6) they had upgraded to pentium IIs with bloated XP :suicide: My secondary school had athlon XP 2400+ boxes which ran alright, then they got "upgraded" to complete and utter piles of WANK core 2 duo e4300 lenovo thinkcentres which were really fucking unstable (the capacitors kept blowing for some reason). They could BARELY run XP. College PCs were pretty nice. viglens running xp, e7500 c2d, 4gb RAM

All of our school pc's have a "Windows Vista Installed" sticker but they are all running XP Our IT class computers are running windows 7 though, so there is hope

I have no idea about overclocking, but I put the two bars for GPU and memory at the top and I'm at a good 52c. Is that a good thing? [editline]26th December 2012[/editline] also does anyone know anything about audio interfaces? I'm thinking about getting Avid Recording Studio, which comes with the M-Box and a copy of Protools SE, which I could really use. It's only 90 bucks on amazon. There's also this other Focusrite interface that looks pretty decent. It's a bit more expensive though, about 169.99. However, it comes with 2 XLR inputs instead of the one that the M-Box has, and a few more extra toys to mess with. But it doesn't have the software! I have two microphones which is why I ask; should I go for the interface that has only 1 XLR input, but comes with some expensive software, or should I get the interface with 2 XLR's and some more features, but no software?
Sweet, 32c (CPU) 63c (GPU) max. Temperatures at load (Unigine @ Max, Furmark) :dance: GPU could be better though, it's not as good at cooling in Linux for whatever reason My motherboard reports 800c :v:
luckily my basement is hella cold all the time so cooling shouldn't be an issue
My GPU on my desktop crashes when I try and O/C it by 20MHz, but on my laptop I can stably O/C the GPU to 220MHz more than stock. Such is GPUs

[QUOTE=MIPS;38987849]If you don't have an SSD but you want one as a non-mechanical alternative though....[/QUOTE] But then why would you get a last generation one? Those sucked horrifically, you could barely put a few writes on them before shit got slower than mechanical. There was barely any advantage since you could store once or twice and then read from then on, lest you lose the advantage. There's just no point bothering.

[QUOTE=kaze4159;38988820]Jesus christ that's colder than my room right now[/QUOTE] Yeah it's freezing in here. I'm about to put 3 more fans in, and when I get my fan controller I'll set the 5 connected to it to 100% and see how cool (and loud) it gets.
