SS, that's cool. Still dissapointed you haven't done anything with electricity seeing how you're the

you know

GOD DAMMED SHOCKSLAYER


Also, if you ever died in a house fire(hopefully not), I'd laugh so hard I'd probably piss myself.

DJ, it's in the works, you know?

Also, I'd laugh just because you pissed yourself.

Also, it's unlikely that I'm going to die.

Took an old drawer, some glue, some duct tape, and a power supply, threw together a cooling stand for my laptop. Looks like flax. I'll take pics if anyone is actually interested.

My laptop still hates me though, and I can't run it for long periods of time. So I won't be around much in the coming weeks, depending on how well I ghetto rig something.

Have you taken it apart to clean out dust?

That is just amazing to me right there. Fantastic presentation, awesome interface, and superb precision.

This is the stuff that really makes me love this hobby.

I took it apart, cleaned out dust, throughly cleaned the fan, and rebuilt the fan. Still no good.

Sounds like the thermal compound has gone to crap. There's no reason it shouldn't run like new after a good dusting.

The fan is most definitely the culprit. THERE IS NO QUESTION HERE. The fan sounds like a failing weedeater against a chain link fence, and is about as loud. This is after the improvement from me rebuilding it.

Underclock it as much as you can and/or leave the bottom of the case off and place another fan over the old one (probably just remove the old one).

... what I've done... I'll be getting a parts computer in a couple weeks, but until then, this will have to suffice.

Re: The afternoon projects thread, "Pkg50 tactile"

Did this last week. My Civic didn't come with a tachometer, and I wanted one. I bought a gauge cluster from a CR-V on ebay and popped it in. Literally took unscrewing 2 screws, pop out the trim around the cluster, two more screws, remove cluster and unplug 3 cables, reverse. And I went from 226824 down to 88825 miles! The screen in the bottom left is an Ultragauge OBD-II scanner. It can tell you just about everything the computer knows and even read and clear codes (handy when your catalytic converter appears to be going out and throws a code occasionally).

That was way easier than it should have been.

Great... now I'm going to have to make my truck OBD II compliant, and get that meter...
