Snacko Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 fyi, I have two old hard drives from my Tivo that I can give you if you want them. Quote
Smash Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 If their sata sure if not i cant use them i dont have any of the other power things left lol. Quote
Snacko Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 You can put a splitter on a power line to add more. Quote
PropNut Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Hey Smash, what rig did you put together? Do you mean you have no cooling at all? Not even passive cooling (the finned heatsink)? 107f is 42c, which is a pretty good operating temp for most computers. A slightly better program to watch temps is Coretemp, it will create a logfile and watch up to 8 cores. It is always fun to tinker isnt it? Have fun with the new system. Here is one that I built a few months ago, and my simpit: http://www.overclock.net/case-mod-work-logs/468160-project-serenity-another-wooden-case.html http://www.overclock.net/case-mod-work-logs/568579-simpit-flight-sim-cockpit-case.html Mr Snako, yes I followed you from the War-Hawks to here. I am looking for a more Il-2 oriented group to fly with, I had a ball the other night thanks for hosting. PM me. Thanks for letting me reply on your thread for my first post. I am always interested in PC builds and what people do with them. Quote
Blairgowrie Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Propnut sir. Welcome to the Forum. I take it you would like to join the Danger Dogz. Just say the word and we will induct you into the kennel. Quote
Sulky Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 welcome to the dogz propnut, i must say your cockpit is looking good, have you got any more updates on it...? Quote
PropNut Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 welcome to the dogz propnut, i must say your cockpit is looking good, have you got any more updates on it...? No, unfortunatly I have my hands full with grad school. Hopefully when the semester is over (god do I only have a couple more weeks to get those research papers finished?!!) I will have time to get back on it. I would really like to replace the projector with a 28" LCD monitor (Newegg HannsG for 309.99) and I will start to work on the trims, magneto and mixture levers also. I need to pick up another Leo Bodnar controller for the additional axis'. My 42 birthday is coming up in two weeks...do you think my wife will be willing to get me the new hardware? Quote
Cold_Gambler Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Well done on your build Smash! Now you have a better rig AND a ton of new knowledge and insight into how it all works- feel's great don't it? C_G Quote

Snacko Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Well, the day after Thanksgiving I stopped over at the Smash house to drop off his CPU Cooler, a few hard drives, and case fans. Quote
PropNut Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Which one are you Snacko? The young one or the ugly one? Quote
PropNut Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Speaking of choices...ok this has nothing to do with choices.....you should have stopped by for our "over the holidays campaign" with the War-Hawks. Had a great time, flew several mission out of Tobruk North Africa against Rommels tanks. Wolfhnd set it up and hosted, it was a great time to be had...well, by a few of us. Quote
Jediteo Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 +1 for the Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt Smash! Quote
