In breaks from honing my coding skills I've been trying to decorate the Boinc Basement. Problem is there is so much stuff in it that I can only do it a wee bit at a time. I suppose I could switch off the farm for a while but that's a bit extreme innit?
I added another HD 5770 to the farm, replacing the HD3850. Nice! I reckon with CPUs on AQUA, NVidias on Collatz & ATIs on DNETC that I could get half a million per day out of the farm. Mad, totally mad!
Anyway that's got to be an end to the upgrades. From now on it's failure replacements only. A consequence of shifting stuff about the basement is that I can see just how many IKEA Storage Solutions full of PC related shite I have. 23 floppy drive cables at the last count. No day is ever going to be rainy enough to justify keeping them. As for ebaying them... Recycling at last!

...You might need the cables to boot the Commodore (the blue Ikea box near the bottom of the pile)from the floppy disk unit (green box, just a little higher and to the left) and see if it can deliver a CPDN unit within the deadline.... ;)
Wow. A reader! Just when I thought I could say anything I wanted as nobody was listening.
That'll be a 5 and a bit inchfloppy disk unit then?
You can laugh but I've just chucked out a parallel port 250MB (it was a lot then) Zip drive thingy from 199x. I've got about 20 sticks of memory I can't test because I don't have any mobo they fit.
It's wonderful what you can do with a bit of glue, a paintbrush and a soldering iron.... You will be exhibiting at the Tate before you know it!
