Sam Coupé was an 8 bits Sinclair Spectrum compatible computer of the early 90s.

No idea what this bright blue chip on the graphics card is, but it looks pretty!

Working...

In keeping with the theme of liquid-cooling the hottest components in this machine, I opted to remove the standard HS/F and pre-mounted my hardware around the nVIDIA nForce Professional 2200 so that if needed, Innovatek Graph-O-Matic water block could be easily removed without taking the mobo tray out (a major pain once all the disk arrays are installed). In case anyone wonders why the die isn't shiny, it already has Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound applied.

New Crucial 64GB 6gbps SSD based on Marvell controller. I got this drive to replace a database drive which I was previously hosting on a sandforce SSD (which corrupted my data, yay). I suppose switching to a new drive is an even bigger risk, but I think I'll set up some good backups :)

(Yes, of course I have to take it apart and take pictures before using it)

The SID-SHIELD is a prototype board developed by A Fox Consulting & Design to allow an Arduino-based system to utilize the MOS Technologies 6581/8580 SID chips. It is shown here mounted on an Arduino Uno board.

It uses a MCP23017 I2C 16-bit I/O expander to drive the SID chip's address and data lines and a MC34119 1/4 watt audio amplifier to drive a speaker.

The board uses only 4 of the Arduino's I/O lines: two for the I2C communications, and digital pins 8 and 9 for ~WR and clock signals.

It is strongly recommended that only a 9V DC power supply is used to power the Arduino when using the SID-SHIELD.

A brief distraction at work...an old hard drive that no longer works.

Also new Hypex amps.

More shots with my new to me Nikon AF-D 105mm f/2.8 Micro lens and a "Neewer LED Ring Flash".

First day doing close up photography.

The 80386 micro chip, developed in 1985 by Intel, was a precursor to the Pentium chip. Vinod Dham, “Father of the Pentium chip,” played a major role in both developments.

Last week our house got struck by lightning - my wife even saw the bolt hit our house (we were in the porch watching the storm)! It took out our ADSL router and also the ethernet port of my PC and stopped my memory running at 1600Mhz (now stuck at 1066Mhz). This is the inside of the router.

Now I understand why closeup can be addictive.

Not the culprit! Goodman furnace control board B18099-13. Mine is actually beige, but the same.
