The computer I built about 7 years ago is a bit long in the tooth. The only things that are NOT getting replaced is the case (Liquid cooled full tower), the power supply, and the ifitisrounditwillreadit drive.

Ok I will catch up on reading later Good Morning All of you lovely people!!! I want to go back to bed!! I think I have Pleurisy OMG it hurts to breath was up all night felt like someone stuck a knife in my back and everytime I moved it just hurt more. Yet here I am at work again LOL
If it is pleurisy take care of it asap. I had it in my mid 30s and seriously thought I was a goner. Hospital drained stuff from around my lungs that came out looking like Mt. Dew! They beat it down with antibiotics but took weeks to get truly better.

Get better soon!

Blades on the way from Thailand.....I'll be in shavetopia.
From what I can tell, you actually live in the US, but now I gotta ask how you shave to actually use soap and get your blades from Thailand?

I am a wet shaver. I alternate between a Merkur 34c safety razor...and a wee collection of Dovo and Boker straight razors. In my Merkur I use ONLY Feather double edge blades...and the best prices are Thailand direct.

World Series Game 7 is ON!!

Serious history being made.
KC is eerily mirroring their last WS win, 29 years ago in the year I graduated H.S....1985.

I'm ready with the Command Centre of Vapin' & Munching and Habanero Supreme Pizza w/ extra pepperjack and toppings.:







Woooooo!

Nice! do you make your own crust and sauce? If so, care to share your recipes?

I have before, but usually it's just too much work for a damned pizza in a 1BR apartment. It's also too expensive using the huge 1970's electric oven for one small person that usually eats just a few slices. I use my vintage Kenmore toaster oven...not the silly plastic stuff they have now, it's a real sheet metal beast that holds a 6x9 pan.

I usually buy cheap pizzas and use THEM as my Crust adding my own toppings...like those fresh red habaneros. Two "supreme" pizzas for $6..then I add my stuff. ;)

Thanks! =)

You would be..those Habaneros are HOT...the red things on there.
I gotta be careful not to rub my face or let Tiki lick/rub on my hands before washing my hands...o_O

i hope the royals win, mostly cause they are at home and it's always fun to see the home team win. :)


Me too, they really are trying hard and it's an amazing team just like the 1985 team.

Are you watching it now? it's on Fox so anyone can watch it...I'm using my 1993 HDTV with an OTA DTV box and rabbit ears. :D

I've got one of those skin types that when I use a regular razor, I get like little scrapes. Cuts are rare, it's all just these little scrapes so I use one of those nice Braun self cleaning razors.
You method seems fitting given your chosen path :)

Sounds good.:)

Some of the new rising crust pizzas are verry good these days too.

I hear ya on the lappy..
This one has a wonky spacebar. I've taken it apart and cleaned it of hairs and such, but it's got a slightly bent retaining pin I haven't bothered to fix yet.

(I used to work at Keytronics building keyboards, so I can take apart about any KB. ;))

Well I try to get maximum use out of my computer products . My Desktop is running Xp Pro and no issues And I had taken laptops apart apart before. This HP has been dropped on the floor with a USB flash drive in it ruining the flash drive and the USB port. I guess I am waiting for Win 10 to have the bugs works out before buying a new laptop. Back in the day is use to build PC's until Buying PCs became cheaper then buying the parts

Damn. Can I send you mine for repair? I spilled a cup of coffee on my Logitech a few weeks ago. I disassembled, cleaned and rinsed it and put it all back together. Everything works beautifully except for the caps lock, and that's a function I really want to have.

I've had this keyboard for 11 years or so, and it sees heavy use all day, every weekday at work. I'm really attached to it; the feel of the keys on all current keyboards I've tried just doesn't compare.

Two years ago I found an identical mouse (they were purchased as a pair), and keep it in a drawer in case mine bites the dust. Too bad I didn't get the keyboard with it :(

That blows...which KB is it?
I'd assume it's a mechanical one rather than a membrane type?

Sounds good mate! Is your current PSU up to the new components though? People often forget that the PSU is really the most important piece.

Mine is this one, also about 7yrs old but modular and has been a great PSU.
