Swapping Motherboards, and things.

Don't Trace, Create.
I just finished replacing the motherboard on my Buckenstein, and so far the computer is running like a dream. It hasn’t crashed once, and it’s running way smoother. The only flaw is very minor that doesn’t affect the operation of the machine at all because it’s strictly cosmetic. I can’t get the little screen that sits over the CPU watercooler pump to stop working. It will flash SAMA right before it gets before the bios screen or before windows goes into full windows boot. I don’t know if I damaged the screen when I cleaned it after putting a huge finger smudge, or if there might be a loose wire on the USP2 pin connector. I also order a 3 pin RGB hub so I can have control of the lighting when it comes to the fans. I was going to try to hook the plug straight to the motherboard but the cables just don’t reach and I don’t want to have to do a lot of rewiring when a $12 hub from Amazon Prime days takes care of the problem just fine, well at least I hope it does.
My next project that I will conquer on my vacation will to be moving the Buckzilla build to its new case, but I’m thinking that tearing it down to move everything ever might be very time consuming so I might make it a lesser machine with spare older parts that I have laying around which the Buckenstein build was supposed to have been. As HD would say, it’s not like I have a few spare computer fans, CPU, or GPU laying around. The only thing I really had to buy was a new CPU cooler instead of fighting with the current one by moving it around. I decided to go with the same one that is in the Buckzilla build. As for the studio, I’m thinking of calling it JustBucky. A bit boring, and there were other names, but I thought the name was proper for the build. Nothing fancy but enough to scare the crap out of the other monsters.
I’m hoping that my pickup will be ready by the end of my work shift tomorrow. I don’t like the idea of not having any wheels. I’m hoping that the upgrade and the detail was well worth it.
I also will be building a computer nerd work station within the next few months where I can do my graphic arts, and run digital experiments. I had to throw in the word digital because I don’t want someone thinking that I will be pulling wings off of flies. I know there are a lot of twisted people out there that do some of the heinous acts.
As for some of the interesting questions that have been thrown at me in pages, and text. No I didn’t win the lottery, nor did I get any in inheritance. I probably will never see either of those two things. This is from money from several years of hard work that I was actually able to touch. I paid off all of my bills except for a few medical ones, and for the first time I’m able to have a local emergency reserve. I decided to enjoy my money a little, so I poured a little into my computer hobby, fixing up the house, doing something nice for my ride, and let's not forget the deer. I will also be able to start stocking away more money locally while also being able to stay ahead of my bills while having some cash in my pocket in case of emergencies.
