Some PC hardware stuff, and an update for today's stream!

in computerhardware •  4 years ago 

Very nice... managed to get myself 3x 2.5 inch SSDs for less than the full price of a 1TB SSD from the same seller! I picked up a 1TB SSD (for my "new" rig"), a 500GB one (for my current one), and a 250GB one for what will likely form a triple boot of Windows XP, Mandrake Linux, and BeOS/Haiku to use for "retro" PC projects in the future. Additionally, I'm gonna probably use the CPU, RAM, and motherboard (possibly GPU) that I have loose from my i5-650 build, seeing as it has 4GB RAM, but also is going to be more power-efficient than the Opteron 180 build I have!

There are other things I want to do with all these desktop builds, but I need to mull everything over before making any concrete decisions!

Additionally, given that I already mentioned this on Facebook and Twitter (so for Twitter, this post is kind of a repeat) but not other outlets - because Facebook and Twitter are much easier to access on my phone, I'm letting you all know that for the month of August, I'll probably be doing streams from 21:00-00:00 (with a 10 minute break) just to increase my chances of streaming this month, where I will be adjusting my schedule to match these temporary changes. I do also, however, want to streamline the pre-stream and post stream posts so they're less of a chore to right, so will be looking to reduce the size of them somewhat, though I have a month to work all of that out, so it does give me time to find something that works for me!
