This just arrived for my IT Doc spouse. I asked if I could photograph part of the piece first before he rebuilt one of his computers.
I like the way it bounces the late afternoon window light. I wonder if there is a group devoted to bouncing light. No highlights died in capturing this photo.
Thanks for looking.
For this weeks Macro Mondays challenge we were set up with the task of photographing an element from "The Periodic Table".
My element: Gold. There is a lot of it inside computers, and I have a ton of old parts laying around.
Using only the finest Danish capacitors, and carefully put together by a Norwegian engineering team, this brand new graphics card will blow any computer into the plastic age.

This is pretty much 1-1 scale with the monstrously huge graphics card sitting in my gaming computer :P

This is the underside of a graphics card. Taken with a 50mm lens and extension tube. I tried 105mm and 85mm lenses and varying the number of extension tubes. Settled on the 50mm lens with 1 tube. I also tried different ways of lighting it. This was lit with sunlight from above and a LED video light wrapped in blue plastic as a side light.

I just received my order of my new graphics card (and stronger PSU to power it).
After 8 long years of graphics card being too stupidly expensive I finally had a bit of spare cash to buy a new one. It's about damn time.

While my GTX 1060 6GB was trucking on well throughout the years, it does start to show its age by now and the VRAM is just not enough anymore.
Some games are starting to exceed that amount and Second Life is only going to become more memory-hungry with the larger textures as well.
I had also lost the ability to run 2 SL viewers at the same time after the PBR update, having turned into an unusual slideshow when I would launch a second instance.
Hopefully the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB will chew through 2 PBR viewers without much trouble.

I would have considered getting an AMD card instead, due to how Nvidia has been like in recent years, but sadly the power draw of the AMD equivalent would have been significantly higher, and at 39 cents per kWh, that matters for me when it's going to run for years to come.
And the RTX 4070, while around 30% faster, has only 12GB VRAM and as easily as I've been running out of 6GB with my use cases, I did not want to run into more memory shortage again any time soon, such as when I running 2 SL viewers and a large video file on the side.

I'm posting this before the upgrade, so I'll have to test things later. Fingers crossed.
Time to take apart my tower to replace the GPU, PSU and do cable management again.

This GeForce FX5900's GPU is 2 generations older than the G71 I've posted yesterday, and was paired with a AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (overclocked to 3200+) and 2x256MB of DDR400 RAM on my first proper gaming PC I built in 2003.
The GeForce FX5900 had a hard time competing with the Radeon 9700/9800 Pro from ATi as both were faster on almost all benchmarks, but I bought the GeForce anyway, because, well, fanboy is fanboy...
In the Fall of 2020, I had to assemble a new PC, as my old one was still running Windows 7 or 8 and presented all sorts of problems to upgrade.
This was the MSI GE Force graphics card that I chose. It seemed like a good compromise. I took a shot of it before it went in. No complaints so far!
Composite shot made up of 7 focus-stacked exposures, set automatically using the built-in function on the Z7 camera. Stack processed with Helicon Focus. Micro-Nikkor 105mm ƒ/2.8 macro lens.
I actually ordered an EVGA graphics card, and what do I do with these strange cable looking things. Macs have not had visible cables since the Motorola PowerPC days.
This GeForce 7950GT (EVGA 256-P2-N636-AR 256MB) was the graphics card of my last gaming PC, with a Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 and 2x2GB DDR2 RAM I built in 2007. It was a nice rig at that time, and I used it for almost 8 years with just HDD and RAM upgrades as my days as a PC gamer were long gone...
One of my first graphics cards from 2000, the first ATI Radeon. It has 64 megs of ram compared to 11gigs of ram on the nvidia 1080 ti below it.

The motherboard assembly is secured in the case and the GPU is plugged into its socket. The 500gb Crucial MX200 SSD (silver rectangle at right) will serve as my working drive where I will download photos and do my sorting, editing and uploading to Flickr before permanently saving to the storage HDD's. I later moved this up to the mounting points just above for better routing of the cables.

The Graphics Card: The current state-of-the-art GPU is the GTX 1080 Ti but I had a severe case of "sticker shock" when I priced one of those. I bumped down to GTX 1080, then GTX 1070 Ti before settling on the GTX 1070 at almost half the price of the 1080 Ti. Still this model is far more capable than any GPU I have ever owned. Interestingly, this graphics card cost more than the first off-the-shelf "Walmart" computer I owned.
KFA2 GeForce GTX 970 OC SIlent "Infin8 Black Edition" 4GB GDDR5 exclusive from OCUK. This is part of a little upgrade spree I'm having on my workstation. In upgrading to this stealthily designed graphics card I have made the jump back to nvidia from AMD after many years, even after all of the RAM controversy.
I used three long exposures composited to create this image, the only lighting used was the screen of a Samsung tablet.
The Samsung NC10 is a subnotebook / Netbook computer designed by Samsung. At the time of its introduction, it was noted for its combination of a 10.2" screen and large 6-cell battery as standard, giving a battery life of up to 7.5 hours[1], a large hard disk drive and a release price of 499 USD (299 GBP).

All the cables connected and routed behind the back panel for a nice clean, uncluttered build.
I was photographing a graphics card and all its electronic components with a macro lens, and it reminded me of a cityscape from above. So why not blend in a real night cityscape and add a little smoke to create a surrealistic fantasy scene?
A father and son, "mine" bitcoins and litecoins 24/7 in their unfinished basement.
These "coins," the kid explains, are virtual currencies not under the control of any government. As such, the world of digital money has attracted illegal activity such as the Silk Road online black market that the U.S. government has shut down for dealings in drugs.
He relates that bitcoins are convertible to dollars and that when China recently clamped down on their use, the price crashed from upwards of $1200 per bitcoin to $700.
These exchanges depend upon an army of computer geeks called miners (like the duo) to verify transactions through the use of computers installed with software that solves complex mathematical formulas. As explained in an Internet video, miners may work together in "pools".
The son enjoys both the technical challenge of configuring and adding hardware and the money-making aspect of mining. A friend of theirs, he says, has earned $100,000 with a shed full of equipment. For now, the team are transitioning from bitcoin to litecoin which uses the same peer-to-peer network protocols as bitcoin but can be mined using consumer level graphics cards. They currently earn about $16 a day from running their set-up around the clock out of which $2.50 a day covers additional electricity charges.
Dad is not new to home industry; he also keeps bees.
The internals of our main Virtualisation Platform for hosting Hack42 hackerspace infrastructure. Our (mostly donated) hardware needed some adaptations, such as a custom hard drive cage, built from Meccano and some modifications to the SATA power cables, as the HP xw6600 Workstation wasn't equipped to hold the six harddisks.
A bit of a hiccup with my workstation in work emerged as it decided to keep spontaneously shutting down.
At first I thought maybe twitchy RAM but after a rather helpful noise I realised that the problem was actually a clogged/dirty/knackered fan on the graphics card.
It might be strippable, cleanable and/or replaceable and I might have a look at that tomorrow.
It did present a glorious moment though, when I asked Dave if he happened to have any spare graphics cards and he just picked one up off his desk and said "try this one".
Marvellous. :)

This is an XFX 7900GTX with a Zalman cooling fan and extra passive blue spiky pad things fitted. This was taken just before I dropped it in the bin, since I've replaced it 3 years after buying it with something just as good for a tenth of the price. I've not had hardware graphics support for over a year since this thing went bonkers and refused to process 3D graphics or even render a potato without flashing all over the screen and killing my computer stone dead. In other words, I've been using software rendering for all applications for a year, including photoshop, which means when you're processing a 1.3gb hdr file and swapping images in and out of memory things run a little slower than I'd like. Adobe bridge was taking minutes to render high resolution thumbnails for relatively small photoshop files. So I spent 30 quid on a new passively cooled XFX 8400GS and now everything is working fine again. I mean, I wouldn't be playing Crysis on it or anything, but things work like they should do.
That was so interesting I might as well have made it all up. You've probably got a Mac and you're wondering what on earth I'm talking about, but then, you probably don't get the vicarious thrill of dropping dead components in the bin like PC users do. At least I'm not Spartacus any more. Nick is. And I happen to know he throws whole iBooks in the bin.

Battlestation shot. This is our studio/workshop. Everything from computer repair to jewelry design to electronics tinkering to watercolor painting goes on in here. There are two dual-monitor workspaces set up, one with another Inspiron for doing basic computing (blogging, Etsy, surfing, taxes, etc.), the other with a laptop dock for telework.
