    I have two boxes down. One my niece got a virus and needs a complete os install. ( I'll get to that this weekend. The other may be a PSU. I'll have some time
    this weekend to get everything back up, I hope.

    I completely redid Cheetah, moved it to the big tower (Thor V2 case) with the BFG 1KW PSU in preperation for an upgrade. Then yanked the SSD out of Puma to send Al for a new Hydra rig, and reinstalled the OS, all the updates and stuff. It was a loooong night - or should I say early morning?

    For me? In the last few weeks..... absolutely nothing. Which is weird for me as tinkering is a hobby for me.

    I ran Gentoo updates on 4 computers yesterday. I hate the ones that come with video driver updates. I used my Dell to coordinate three of them and then updated it last. It takes a while to update a Gentoo system, but it goes faster when you can share the compiling between 3 or more PC's.

    Other than that, I replaced the PSU in my Dell with a better one I had lying around.

    Cool. This one may have to try when I'm ready to install it on my laptop.

    Lost a GTX 465 that was running in SLI mode on my I7. Went through all the troubleshooting with Evga and finally have an RMA for the card. Lifetime warranties are great! Installed a GTX 460 just to be able to crunch 2 wu's of GPU Grid at once. Hope the turn around time isn't too long.

    RETIRED. NO JOB. NO MONEY. NO WORRIES!

    Crunched SETI Classic to the end.

    Rebooted the half of the farm that isn't on the UPS as the power went out Friday evening and I was gone for the weekend. Thankfully, it wasn't down long enough to drain the UPS so the Collatz project kept running minus any Comcast outage that may have occurred.
