    It’s aliiiiive :o)

    It’s aliiiiive 🙂
    The power supply arrived on Tuesday from eBuyer and I had it installed in a Jiffy.
    Amazing peice of kit that lets you plug in only what you need which keeps the internal cable spagetti to a minimum and improves air flow.

    Installed XP64 and it flys.
    What used to take me 2 minutes to compute on my laptop now takes about 10 seconds.
    I still have to try passing some effects over some 500mb .tif files, but I’m sure it’ll be a breeze.

    A beast is coming …..

    A beast is coming …..
    My new PC that is 🙂

    I decided to retire my old Pentium III which I built about 7 years ago in favour of something a little ….. quicker.

    I ordered my components a little while back and they’ve just arrived.
    The new system has an Intel i7 chip with 12Gb of 1866 ram and a 1Gb ATI 4890 graphics card ….. all so I can edit pictures quicker.

    I’ve put it all together, but I’m still waiting on my Dark Power power supply to come before I can switch it on and install all by bits ‘n bobs. It should be here next week, so until then I have my trusty laptop and server to keep me warm 🙂
