BACKSTORY: Carolyn decided now that Clint had a job, the time had come to replace her computer of 9 years, Magic. So, she started spec'ing out computer parts for a new computer that would become Goliath.
Carolyn built Magic in 2003 when Clint got her a motherboard for Christmas. She kept her old computer, Mist, which as far as we know, is still alive to this day (and was originally a 286, then a 486, then a Pentium 3). Anyway, Magic had tried to die a couple of years ago, but since Clint didn't have a job at the time, we decided it was best to repair rather than buying a whole new computer back then. So Carolyn found an exact replica of Magic's motherboard on Ebay and replaced the motherboard and the power supply. Magic has been limping along ever since.
But now it is time for Goliath. Goliath came into being at the beginning of November and was up and running by November 13th.
SPECS:
CASE: Antec Twelve Hundred V3 Black Steel ATX Full Tower Unbeatable Gaming Case ($160) (**10** frickin' drive bays!).
CPU: Intel Core i7 (i7-3770) Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Quad-Core (LGA1155 socket, 4 cores, 8MB cache, 77W power consumption) ($300). CPUBenchmark score: 9480. For comparison, Clint's computer Hades that everyone watches movies on only rates 4163 (and 1727 before upgrade).
POWER SUPPLY: Corsair Enthusiast Series CMPSU-850TX (850W) ($140) (5yr warranty)
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock Z77 Extreme6 ($180). 8 SATA ports! Onboard optical digital audio out so her computer is backup for playing music. Onboard video better than my pre-upgrade videocard (Radeon x1950) that Clint tried to give her, so her computer is backup for playing video. (However, the onboard video can only mine at 100MH/s, so it is useless for cryptocurrency mining.) Onboard network.
RAM: 16GB: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series (2x8GB, 240-Pin) ($86) (CAS 9-9-9-9)
HARDDRIVE: SSD: 128G: Crucial M4 ($103) (3yr warranty). Plus all the drives that used to be in MAGIC, before MAGIC crashed.
TOTAL COST: $969.
Ultimately it ended up with a coupld of SATA controller cards, as well as a bluray-burner. We've now burned over 200 blurays.
In other news, Clint decided to get a CPU for Magic for Carolyn's birthday, and she ended up killing Magic trying to install it. It was a mistake to try to mess with the delicate balance that was Magic. Magic died 2 days before its 10-year anniversary. Poor Magic! But it was a good thing Carolyn had already gotten a new computer before Magic decided to kick the bucket.

I bought this pair of speakers today at Best Buy for $10. They sound remarkably like $10 computer speakers.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva is the largest scientific instrument on the planet.
It will produce roughly 15 Petabytes (15 million Gigabytes) of data annually, which thousands of scientists around the world will access and analyse.
Here's a (small) part of the computers which will process these data.

My computer room after being painted. A nice soothing color to bring relaxation to my freelance work, photography, web surfing, and gaming. It's soooo much more relaxing than the yellow walls and blue ceiling.
I work at a computer company repairing computers. This machine overheated due to something... so I look inside and... spiders!
They were still alive and had piles of eggs.
I think this is the first computer that caused me to scream and run away.
