Life Without Sleep

Update

Well, as you may have noticed, I have changed the title of this Blog from Lifestyles of the Rich and Pocatellans to "Life without sleep". I choose a new template for the blog as well, however, the Title is failing to appear. I'll work on that tomorrow. Not much else going on up here in Pocatello. Im still working on the Ethylene Glycol Cooler on my main PC and attatching a new radiator and fan control to it. I have a picture of what the beginning steps look like. Other than that, everything is the same for now :)

The second shot is of the pc at night. Notice the UV reactive fluid traveling in the tubes. I'll have more tubing come next week when i attatch the video card to the liquid cooling and the radiator!!

Well, to up the voltage and overclock the snot out of the processor. I have a 2.5ghz processor running at 4.6 ghz!!! Talk about a free speed increase! Also, its MUCH quieter than air cooling. The fans on the radiator run silent and so the whole thing is much cooler, faster, and just plain neat!! It would be kind of like trying to cool a car engine with only a fan and no radiator. So i added a radiator to the pc to keep the 'engine' cool! And it looks pretty sweet also.

Sounds cool I guess. My old 2002 computer is still running but barely. I can't update Windows or anything cuz it, was, uh borrowed, from Deadtaco. I'm at home today and don't have your email address. Working in the yard. Good luck on the Santa Cruz. If they are a good shop they should give you an opportunity to ride the bikes and be honest about what they can do. Give me a call or email with what they tell you. I still think the Blur is the best bet. Expensive though.

Nice today here also. Thinking about doing some yard work. Its 55 outside right now!!! Well, no hurry on the bike. As much as i'd like to go down and buy one, cost is a huge issue. Still paying off MD bills and the loan we had to take out to pay off the differance from the old house. Ouch. It still stings!

I want your video card >:(

I'll buy it for $100. :)

I also want your computer, which I will promptly pay $50 for. That's a good deal...for me.
