No more sweet modded computer
02 March 2011
It's not that it died, but moreso that it was dying and quickly on it's way out the door. My power supply was tanking to the point where we left the computer on for a few months straight just because we weren't sure if we turned it off that it would ever be able to start back up again. With Christi working from home, obviously it's a major concern to have a reliable computer at all times.
Technically, I like to say that it still works. Christi somewhat agrees, but always points out that a computer running a good 60-70 dB quitter is much better for her work environment. When I hooked up the new computer, at times I didn't think it was working since I couldn't hear it. I guess when you replace two massive external fans (complete with awesome Marvel fan covers; shown above) with a computer that's brand new with one internal fan, there's really no comparison.
So with that, I'm bidding adieu to the computer that I basically learned everything on.
