Spent an hour playing cable ninja. Ended up with this for now.
Side fan throwing up air is a 250mm Antec tri-color on random mode so it makes a variety of cool colors.
Lighting is done via BitFenix LED aqua strip. It is pretty friggin bright too. That was the backlight for the LCD I was working on. Was being the keyword, the IC that connects to the LCD panel fried on me so it's dead project unless I replace that board and the ribbons to the panel itself. >_<
Sorry guys, server was flipping when 2 were created and now they both seem to have deleted.
Here we go again. Sorry for that.

Turns out Haswell will support DDR4 RAM when it hits the mainstream market and come with 8-core versions. Be interesting to see how far it steamrolls over AMD.

I would love to be able to fill up for $45 (About $8/gal here)
My old HD 5830 has always run hot, idling at 70ºC for one monitor or 80ºC for dual - but lately it's been making a horrendous amount of noise and still idling at 80-85ºC. Went to give it a clean out yesterday fearing the fan was seizing, but it seemed to be spinning fine.
While it was out I decided I may as well do it properly and take a peek under the HSF (Also needed to come off to remove the giant plastic cowling to clean the fins), and I think I found my problem... no thermal paste
It looks like long ago there was a thermal pad of some kind, but it's worked itself out the sides and there was nothing left on the actual chip itself. Cleaned it up and added some new paste, idles at 50ºC with both monitors now
I got a small promotion/raise at work and have been working 40+ hours a week. Then it seems I always have something to do on my days off.
Got a 2012 Chevy Impala a few weeks ago too. My old car decided it needed a new engine. I decided I needed a new car. Love it.
I've not been up to much, really busy at work the last two months
A new car sounds nice, mine is getting on a bit and I wonder if it's really worth it every time something breaks and needs fixing.
Mine was the same way. Something would break every 3-4 months on it. think in the 12 months I had it, I replaced one of the door panels (half the door fell off a week after I got it ), water pump, valve cover gaskets, then about a months before I spent $30 on some rain-x wipers, then a week before I put 4 new headlights in ($55) and filled it up with gas ($45).

Same old shit for me: job hunting and ranting about the world.

who is good with linux here? i need some help with this.
EDIT: Ren of Heavens: i think it was you who helped me last time, but if not, do you have any experience with johntheripper, for cracking wifi? cant seem to get it to work. im trying to use it with a dictionary file as follows:
john --wordlist=wordlistfile --stdout --session=crack |aircrack-ng -b 00:00:00:00:00:00 -w - capturefile.cap
problem is, i immediately get 'passphrase not in dictionary'.

mine had 1 cable with a 3 pin end and it was extended with a molex cable so i plugged it straight to the psu. it's always on, no idea about rpms tho

I've seen several fans that have 2 wires coming out to plug into the power supply via a molex cable as well as a single wire that has the 3 pin fan plug in that can plug into the motherboard for an RPM reader. You just can't adjust the speed that way.
