Yeah, I yanked the loud fan on my Fire GL X1 and put my own on there...plus my NB didn't have a fan (??!), so I put a 24v fan running on the 12v rail ---- nice and slow. Both CPU fans, the chassis fans, the power supply fans, and the graphics fan are on a fan controller, so I can manually dial the RPMS. On my server at work I placed a 12v 120mm fan on the 5v rail for low-speed action sucking air from the side. It's almost like hearing each individual blade go sweeping by, but not quite. I'm running RAID 0 for video editing, and its a bit faster even though its software RAID. With duals I do have some calc time to spare. I really want a 3-Ware card or something for full hardware RAID, though....
memtest86+ that's the one!
Now to mix in some less-geeky stuff, even if it sounds like it:
I decided to kick up the gun reinvestment lately, so my computer is not being regularly updated with new hardware
. With the expiration of the Clinton AWB, I did some F&F stuff to my Colt MT Lightweight AR15. Now it's all non-PC and stuff! Also, my wife is getting interested, so I'm building her a 9mm CAR-15. I'm redoing my 308 precision rifle too, just picked up the barreled-action this morning after getting an action swap. I'm dropping a heavy BR-style Rem 700 short-action into an Accuracy International Chassis. TOO HOT!!!
