Today I have the supreme displeasure of re-doing my PC.
I had though 2015 was going to be a great year for myself and my team but during the holidays the fan on my GPU decided to take off and wanted to run solo. I actually found the fan at the bottom of my desktop casing.
I have ordered the parts and assembled the waterblock for the GPU. The final parts arrived today and I'm going to preform digital surgery. As I write this, the HD's have already been re-seated (this was to make sure that nothing important was lost during the surgery) and the water block on the GPU assembled:

next step is to cut out the old cage that was holding the hard drives and fix the radiator in there. That seems simple enough. The hard part is where to connect the fans... but will update as I progress. Along with "My Eve" blog storry.
TY for reading my first entry.

Well the surgery is complete and was a success.
Had to remove a drive cage that was riveted in. Did this by drilling out the rivets.

Once the drive cage was gone the water block and rad slipped in nicely.

I did have to drill 2 holes in the front plate to secure the rad. I only did the top 2 screws but this should be more than enough.
Now the PC goes from frying and egg to a blissful 45C max (so far). I tried it out before bolting it down.

Next up on the PC mods side... getting that ultrawide monitor =)

after wrenching on the PC and grinding 4 toons at once I made the big move to a different system in a totally different region.
I am quite happy with the location. In a couple short weeks (in between moving ships etc..) I have made my first billion in game. This is a huge milestone for me as I have never mined that much in such a short period of time.

Was out mining today and since the last post I have made my 2nd bill... SWEET!!! The down side is that I have been wardec'd by an aggressive player from a VERY large alliance.
The Wardec story:
I'm out here mining and boosting locals and have been for a few weeks. There is a large alliance and one of their corporations believe that only they own the mining rights. They bump us, and steal any cans they can get their grubby hands on. Well one day we set up a MTU and a player shot it and went yellow flashy. We shot back and destroyed his ship =D
It was a couple days later that a new corp formed, some players of the transgressing corp followed and decided to wardec us. We'll see what happens in the following days. One of the members I think / hope has been taken out of the picture. I have sent a new NPC toon to the area and that trigger happy bugger shot it a couple times thus lowering his security status to the point where he can't enter our high sec area. I know this is fixable, but in the meantime that is 1 less player we have to deal with.

The Ice wars continue and I feel I'm on the loosing side. There is a mutual respect for each other but I don't think I'll be bullied into a join or die situation. I'm going to sand my ground and try to be "business as usual" during this war. Just have to hang on only 4 days left I hope.
I am glad that the new minmatar destroyer is out ;even though no one can pronounce its name. The blueprints for the ship are just flying off the shelf.
In regards to the war if anyone can recommend a merc corp that will fight for a mining corp it would be appreciated. |

Well since we have an extended DT, I suppose I should post again with an update.
The was ended and we didn't do so well. There were some heavy losses but profit wise, we still came out with a positive balance. Yes we lost funds, but those were made up for during the war.
Once the war had ended I had 24 hrs to regroup and get my stuff together. I had gathered all my toons and started mining to make up for what was spent. That very same day the very same group war dec'd us again.
Some background here: The people that wardec'd us are a splinter corp that doesn't want the main alliance to be involved in a war dec. They have better players and more of them than we do. As of the scheduled up time today I would have had 1 hour to prepare for this new war dec. Due to unscheduled / extended downtime that 1 hour is gone and I'll be a target as soon as I log in.
Luckily I have read the forums and had some advice from more experienced players on how to survive this upcoming war. With luck (and a decent server up time) I / we'll be able to make some isk and avoid getting shredded all together. |
