setup

My workstation had been sick for a long time, suffering from unreliable memory, and it was finally time to remedy that. Spent a fair bit of time swapping modules, and testing combinations, to find which modules were actually faulty, and needed to be replaced. In the end I did find them and was able to get a set of four working. It used to be four reds but I actually kinda like the red blue mix now.

Which is somewhat funny, seeing as this is a closed side case that lives in a rack mount cabinet, so absolutely no one ever sees all the LEDs inside, or the matched RAM or any of it. Except me, when I need to fix or upgrade something. None of the parts were picked for their looks, they just happen to be peppered with 'styling'.

Of course to highlight the already interesting visual, and to have a break from the work, I had to play with the lighting a bit. So we have a two second exposure of a scene lit with the computers own lighting, coloured Hue lights on the ceiling, and a handheld LED torch spun around the scene during exposure, to soften the shadows.

My crappy graphics card's fan has conked out YET AGAIN. I am past caring for it any more as it's such a shitty card, so I just slapped this random fan on it.

While upgrading some old PC to Ubuntu 7.10, I installed a new (old) gfx card to see the latest OS desktop gizmos. The gfx card came with some gizmos of its own, like some useless blue leds. I like the green PCB though

The card has its own fan, which exhausts out the back of the card and the case. Again, I took advantage of the case's tool-less design. A type of clamp keeps add-on cards in place. No need to screw them down.
