Painted it myself!

My two things are cars and computers; if they didn't exist, I would be nothing.....

I would do it, but it's not worth it right now (the best OC I've gotten was 4.2 GHZ out of my FX8320) and my Mid Tower doesn't have any 240mm radiator mounts in it.... it would be kind of fun to do though :D

Lately, not much. I love to golf and BMX, but I just haven't had the time this summer thanks to my job and my new car. I do enjoy watching old movies and playing some occasional GTA5 though. I also collect watches, but again, having an old car has put that on the back burner.

1. Computers, used to be big into vintage ones (I have a PS/1, PS/2, couple TRS-80 Model 100s, a 486, some various pre-Pentium II laptops), but now I'm trying to get more practical (Thinkpad X200t, Dell D630, Dell Venue Pro 8, Phenom II X2 HTPC/racing sim rig)

2. Playing music (11 years of piano, 5+ years of guitar)

3. Cars, obviously

4. Mountian biking

5. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

As for me;

2. I love to ride bikes

3. Watch anime (Who would of thunk?)

4. Talking about cars I can't afford, mainly on oppo.

5. I do a lot of volunteer work for a local hospice, visiting patients and reading for them. (Because of this I can now almost resite the book of John from memory! Old people really like to be read the bible.

computers are my day job, does it count for spare time? I do build a lot of machines, and custom ones primarily. I do some pretty wild stuff with them. Next up is a SteamBox with XBMC and Blu ray support.

Otherwise, I drive the hell out of my car, and I spend time with my girlfriend, and I go to car shows. Lots of car shows.

I'm also a cyclist. Fairly active, though this summer hasn't been that good for me.

Good decision not to run a raid, my brother has a mid-2011 13" MBP and he has an opti bay running a raid setup between 2 64gb SSDs. He's had nothing but trouble, he lost access to his recovery drive. If he wants to boot into it he has to reset the parameter ram and hold R while booting. But because A raid fragments files between drives, hes stuck

It's pretty clean, not bad. I'm pretty ridiculous about my builds. If I'm putting a new power supply into a machine, I have to keep it as neat as possible. If I'm building one from scratch, good like getting wires out later. You'll have to find them first.

JGrabowMSt > Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen
08/15/2014 at 01:45

It is, indeed. My beef with modular in my own machine was that the cables simply weren't long enough to reach behind the motherboard tray and hide properly. I'll link some pictures for you tomorrow, I need to get to sleep soon, but it's a stupid fast build. So stupid fast....exactly what I built it to be.

Because striped data?

Denver Is Stuck In The 90s > Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen
08/15/2014 at 01:49

basically, a raid splits the files between 2 drives, so if one dies you have only half of your data so it becomes corrupt. its actually not that bad if you backup regularly, but on laptop no one backs up regularly

Frankly, I chase getting high. Since uni I haven't had much of a life and thus am just playing games etc. And I don't enjoy gaming anymore without weed. When I'm working I can afford to get other stuff but I'm usually doing that on my own anyway. I have a personal setup of fun (music etc) depending on what I'm on and people detract from it! I used to be a people person but now I realised there are two and only two types of people in the world Type A - Anchors and Type B - Barbarians. Anchors, perhaps unwittingly, impede you in life in some way. Every person ever will have let someone else down to some degree, including me and you, whether minor or major it will always happen. Barbarians are typically those in some position of power relative to you who create an architecture for their own betterment at the cost of others. Aren't you glad you asked!!! :P
