Installed old 650W P.S.U. into fried/blown machine in preparation of new processor arriving tomorrow sometime. Hope it was only the processor I killed!! Then installed old video card, two SATA drives, and rerouted cables to insure good air flow in chassis for additional WU cruncher(I am hoping!).

Then replaced silver screws on next machine with black screws to match new case running two video cards crunching ALL my cuda WU's currently.

Then on two other machines replaced old Silver paste on CPU to improve heat transfer.

Blew dust out of both laptops, that were slowly heating up over time.

Overclocked my i7-950 from the stock 3.07 Ghz to 3.6 Ghz. Have to wait until winter to go higher as the air temp in the room is 80F.

Installed BOINC on a WinXP guest VM on my desktop. Desktop ran out of Rosetta wu's do to the rb purge so now the VM is crunching away....

New SSD Hard drive arrived today. Installed it and cloned my "C" drive using Acronis. Boot time for the I7 went down to approx 23 seconds and my Performance index went up to 7.2. I thinkj it will go up a little more when I get my GTX 465 graphics card back from the RMA that I sent to Evga and have it running in SLI mode.

I had no problem installing the SSD. For now it is just sitting on one of my HD trays. I will get an adapter next. I should of just gotten one when I ordered the SSD. Live and learn.

@C303a, I will mail you the adapter for your SSD if you still need one. I have the OEM one that came in the box with the new Corsair Force GT SSD for Cheetah -and cool thing is that Thermaltake case has mounting points for the SSD as well as 3.5" HDDs. So...it says "Corsair" on it, but other than that it's a little black piece of metal with some holes in it. Just let me know...

I did do one cool thing - Al stand up and take a bow - he hounded me so much I finally installed TeamViewer on every computer! Very cool program there, after trying it out today, I would highly recomend it!

Thanks Dr. Pop but I have an adapter coming from the Egg. It was cheap and it will make the counting easier. I just have it sitting on one of the trays for a HD right now.

I have just one regret on the SSD...Why didn't I get one sooner!
