Computer journal - Worthy of the FX name
General | Posted 14 years agoSo, I needed something to get rid of that last journal, and right now that would be the new system. It took a little while longer than hoped to get it running due to a faulty board. But Gigabyte cleared that right up, and I'm pleased to say the new board has handled my stress testing well.So far I couldn't be happier with the system. But DAMN at full load she uncorks a load of heat! Running CPU and both GPUs at 100% she just barely breaks 50*C on cpu and 60*C on both gpus, which is a tad hotter than I'd prefer, but not bad, though I will be swapping out the cases included fans for higher flow ones to rectify that sometime soon.
Final System Specs:

<rant> Damnit... I HATE..LOATH.. academia.
General | Posted 14 years agoSo.. My major changed it's program. I have 3 classes to take now or they aren't offered for another 3 semesters, add on top of that I'm classified as full time for billing purposes now, but not eligible for full time financial aid (loans not grants), because I wasn't full time last semester. And an increase in tuition, Add it all together and I'm about $2000 short of needed funds.. Fuck Shippensburg. You know what, fuck university.. just fuck it. Fucking extortion, the whole god damned fucking system. Some days... just... augh. I'm tired of all this shit. Sure I fucked up.. failed a class, but if you aren't one of the chosen to go to school, and have either mom and dad pay for it, or the government pay for it, and actually have to work for it, they just start kicking you while your down. That health care bill took over financial aid (Why the fuck is there a Student Loan provision in a health care bill any way?), and made me eligible for less since my parents "make too much" (paying them selves out of a large debt hole.) Started working more to make ends meet, and make class work. Failed a class due to lack of time. That failed class took away my eligibility for any aid made me work more. Started dropping classes left and right, got depressed, and quit on myself. Tried to pick it back up again the next semester with one class (all I could afford out of pocket since work had been slow. Found a new job finally thought I had got on the right track picked up a computer, and now find out that well all of above ends up to my bill being almost $4000 more than expected. Goddamn I hate universities. Oh and PS, since I stopped being full time, and my loans are now government loans (they were taken over retroactively) my agreement to pay back when school is finished is now void and I need to start paying them back since I'm no longer receiving them. Isn't government grand? I'm worn out, burnt out, and now apparently fuck broke.

The state of the wuff..
General | Posted 14 years agoI've not been around much, I feel like I'm living at my jobs sometimes. For those I haven't told, I'm working warehousing (at a local amazon.com warehouse) now as well as my computer repair job. Unfortunately things are only gonna be busier for the next few weeks for the Christmas season, as I'll be working Sunday-Friday 6:00pm - 5:30am at Amazon, and Saturday 8am-1pm at the computer repair job for a total of 74 hours at work. Hopefully though after Christmas I should be winding down at Amazon as my position was originally meant to be seasonal. Luckily School will be finishing up shortly also so I will only have a 1-2 week overlap of school and work.
I may pop on to check somethings now and then, but for now, Seeyas all on the otherside.

Looking to build a new system... need case input
General | Posted 14 years agoSo.. building a new system in the future. I know roughly what I'ma do with the internals, but does anyone have any good ideas for cases? For the life of me I can't seem to find something I like. Trying to find a decent balance of look/functionality/price, and wanting to stay ATX mid or full tower. Seems like everyone I find is 1) Gaudy as fuck, 2) Cheep (as in quality) as fuck, 3) or Expensive as fuck. Not looking for a powersupply, it'd just be coming out for a high wattage corsair anyways.
EDIT sloved, went with a lian li lan cool PC-K62 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ.....82E16811112239

Rando journal - Posting Old Art and Doodles
General | Posted 14 years agoI'm going to be posting a few doodles in the next few mins, most of them are gifts from friends that never really went up, due to either being forgotten about in time, being rough doodles, or not being sure if I could post them at the time. Regardless You might find something there you like, I know they all brought a smile to my face.
gah
General | Posted 14 years agoThis is why we can't have nice things...
People who can't learn to get along with others need to seriously gtfo.
It's not hard people, live and let live.
Don't get me wrong, not a fan of what was banned myself, but REALLY.. the idea of one person banning another person's interests because they find it creepy, really irks me. I mean really, who is a fat fur, vore fur, bondo fur, slob fur, clean fur, *insert generic classification* furry to tell, another fur that his stuff is just *too* creepy, weird, hardcore, extreme or what not. We started the ball rolling a few AUP updates ago.. I have a feeling that balls just gonna keep rolling, crushing the groups it finds under it.

That was... fun, Let's not do it again.
General | Posted 14 years agoSevere Weather.. agh. I don't like spending hours with no power in the basement.
Anyone need or know someone who needs a room for ac?
General | Posted 14 years agoSo.. like the best laid plans of mice and men, my room suddenly went from full to semi empty. I am looking for 1-3 people that would be interested in sharing a room with another 2-3 people at ac. The room is a double bed room at the double tree. Bed spaces are negotiable, as I and others are willing to take floor space.
Pissed off...
General | Posted 14 years agoAgh.. I needed to vent here I was going to do something I was going to regret to my sister. I haven't played my ps2 in a few months since I've been busy with school. Since then She's turned the ps2 and tv it's on into her dvd player. I go over to use it again today. to find 75% of my games crushed, scratched and/or coated in spilled soda, candy mess, old gum, etc. Memory card ports with sticky goo in them, memory cards themselves stepped on and destroyed, and the controllers disgusting and unusable, missing thumb stick heads and gummed up with stuff. She doesn't give two shits about anything that's not hers. Damnit, now I have to spend another day cleaning up discs, controllers, the system and see which games are scratched beyond repair or snapped. (This is NOT the first time this is happened)
EDIT: With luck she didn't kill GT3/4 or any of My Tokyo Extreme Series games, or most of them. But unfortunately DESTROYED Rampage, and one of my import Intital D games <.< Those have the metal pealed off.

My cat's have a problem. (not srs)
General | Posted 15 years agoSoo.. I've been wondering where my cough drops have been going. Over the last few weeks each morning I'd find the bag of cough drops I bought a good bit emptier than the day before. I thought it was my family, (they tend to have this what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine thing going on.) but.. I came downstairs to find the cats eating them this morning. Damn cats have a drug problem <.<. Remember talk to your cat about catnip.. and now cough drops.
Murphy, You bitch.
General | Posted 15 years agoSystems that run well for years decide to die when I need them for graduation required research. More later.
