Skybuck's Computer(s) Situation Update(s).

I have been pretty busy the last few days and some interesting things happened.

First of all I investigated possible replacements to get a better dream pc.

Here is the short list:

1. Antec 1200 case
2. Scythe zipang cpu cooler, which should be much more quieter than the amd stock cooler/heatsink/fan and cool better too.
3. Artic Silver paste material.
4. 4 pin (squared) power connector extension cord (it might be necessary to connect power supply to motherboard) in the bigger case.
5. Maybe even some other cord extensions ?

I also learned about a new release from Scythe: The Ninja 2.

The first reactions of some people are that this is probably a bad cooler... because of all kinds of reasons.

I also read one buyer's review and he said it was overrated, which means it was bad in his oppinion.

Also one reviewing site mentioned bad pins on the rev B version.

I wonder if these pins only apply to am2 sockets ?

So I would like to see a review of the Scythe Ninja 2 on a socket 939 motherboard.

And the review should be up as soon as possible. Like tomorrow would be nice ;) :) Get on it ASAP ;) :)

Now some other things happened as well:

I knew my old pentium III wasn't updated in a while... so I tried the windows update, it failed.

After a few hours of web surfing the Pentium III with Windows XP Pro was infected/hacked/trojaned, it was nasty.

It was junky anyway... so I formatted and re-installed Windows XP Pro 32 bit on it.

It took about an hour and a half or so to update it fully to Service Pack 3.

I had a hell of time getting around the stupid genuine s*it as well...

Pirates like honeybees... you need them to go from flower to flower :)

Anyway... Then pentium is now nicely updated.

Anyway... Something else happend to my Dream PC... I was looking at the connectors and such...

Later I booted it... first it hang... then reset...

Then BEEP BEEP: CPU FAN ERROR...

I was like what the f*ck ? Didn't I reconnect it properly ?

I look in the case... and I notice the 4 pin square power connector's cable is stuck in the CPU FAN.

I am like HOLYSHIT that's bad !

I immediatly pull it out... and the fan starts spinning again.

There is another point to this story:

I also noticed how the cable attachment at the top of the case come half way loose.

The glue let loose...

So attaching cables to the side of the case which such special thingies is not to good idea...

So now I am wondering... maybe that cable came down a bit and was striking against the cpu fan ?

Which might explain the system crashes ?!?

But I don't think so... I think the motherboard is probably damaged.

However... I don't know for sure... so now I have to go play Call of Duty 4 to see if my PC crashes...

Anyway these are all pretty interesting discoveries... Some more discoveries:

I was thinking about restoring a ghost image... But the pentium was missing a disk drive.

I started to irritate me quite a lot... So I decided to remove the little

Fortunately I was spared that horror.

Now last thing to do is press the post buttttton.

I really wanna see Ninja 2 review... please make it happen if you happen to read this you bunch of reviewers ! LOL.

I know you'll probably not make it in time... You must do it within 7 days or so...

Unless maybe my Dream PC can work a bit longer ;)

Oh well.

Bye, Skybuck ! =D
