This is going to be hard. I can start with dates, but as adulthood came into full swing, the upgrades were too numerous. I don't know if my memory will serve. 1990 286 8MHz -This was the family's first computer at home. I was 8, and not yet hooked. 1993 486 SX 25MHz - In late '93, I had became very …

I'm out of town today and I'll be back home tomorrow. When I get back, I'm gonna roll back GPU drivers, work on installing the Ageia PhysX PPU, work on SSD optimization for XP, see if I can remove the OEM extensions from the GPUs for better cooling (I'll go more in depth about this soon, stay tuned …

Thanks, guys. I wish there was something I could do about the mess directly coming out of the PSU, but these ribbon cables are terrible. I guess I could make some individually sleeved cables, but it works and I don't want to tear it down. 🤣

I have 5 current machines and a server in my modern computer room for LAN games. I guess I'll only throw up my main machine, even though I never use it unless friends are over to play games.

Just wanted to bump this thread as a warning. I've never in all my years seen a leaky lithium cr2032, well, until recently that is... For some reason, this thread inspired me to open my 8 new in box Asus TUSL2 motherboards and check the coin cell batts for grins. 7 were fine (dead as can be), 1 was …
