Hardware/Software / TubeMagic Cover Replacement w/Plexiglass

Borat would say it's boring. I had some left-over plexiglass that I wasted on a horrible project and thought I could replace the cover on this. Well I whipped out the dremel and sanded away my mistakes, drilled more than I should have and came up with this:

Another angle:

I didn't do anything for the sides for 2 reasons: I'm probably not good enough to fit pieces together at right angles and still make it look good and for ventilation, the old cover had slits in the top. It kinda opened up my eyes as to how fun plexiglass is and how nice it looks on things :)

Good to see that I'm not entirely thinking up impossible things. It would have to be a careful balance of not making the user wait but still allowing data to be efficient. With all the millions of users using the internet, I'm sure there's a few packets with the same MD5 going the same general direction. My idea would still suck a lot of CPU and probably would take a lot of time and money to implement. I guess we wait for IPv6... whenever it comes.

Also, good to see I posted something that peaked Jonny's attention :)

Miscellaneous / Cutting Bandwidth on the Internet
« on: Wednesday, March 10, 2010, 01:26:52 AM »
Since computers are getting ever faster and servers seem to be a leap or two ahead, I just thought of a nifty way that might save a ton of bandwidth in the world thus possibly generating faster connections. I thought this up by mis-interpreting a show about how the internet was made then I thought about Dropbox. Now I'm sure that data or at least bits or pieces of perfectly similar files are sent multiple times around the world. What if each piece had like a MD5 or something so that if another person close to your location needed a piece with that same MD5, it would be sent to that person and you as well. It would probably take a ton of CPU cycles to implement something like this but imagine the bandwidth cuts. This is probably an insane idea but I just had to get it out there.

^^ College setup right there. Is that a Logitech USB controller I see? Is it the wired or wireless one? How do you like it?

I figured out how to eliminate the cheezy loading screenshots. See more in my side project in the first post.

Hardware/Software / Re: Lowest CPU Temps!
« on: Monday, March 08, 2010, 17:08:34 PM »
:( I resign from lowest temp. An upgrade has left me with stuck sensors, always showing 39C, 31C, 40C, 37C for low/idle temp. I've seen like 26C in the bios but that's probably WAY off and after a cold boot.

I cleaned out and re-built my computer the other day and +1'd myself on this. I soldered another fan onto one of the existing fan's PCB and came up with this:

I don't think it's too bad for crap that's just layin around :)

Lulz were had on the first video. It's funny to see you tryin to be cool despite your mistakes and non-fluidness. With that said, I doubt I could do most of that :) Cool stuff.
