1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I had a lot of fun making oil dells faster... it’s a fun little thing to tinker with to me.

 

Haha I’m actually looking to buy an old optiplex or something this week to set up a Minecraft server for my friends of all things lmao

 

I've burned way too much time on forums and deep corners of the internet doing it.

 

My laptops taken over daily duty for the most part.. crazy how much faster a 6 core laptop cpu is than the aging 3770k.. but a 1060 vs a 108, the desktop still games better

And holy shit m.2 is crazy fast, secondary storage drive is a 1tb sata drive

 

Yeah I can’t wait to upgrade to an M.2 nvme boot drive and have my game library on a different SSD

 

I don’t game much either nowadays. I enjoy single player games like Fallout 4, Skyrim, or GTA V from time to time.

It’s great for video editing though.

 

I did the same thing! I took a Dell Optiplex 530 Workstation and did the LGA771 > 775 conversion. I used like an Xeon X5450 upgraded from an old Core II Duo. I trimmed the socket retention pins so fit the LGA 771 CPU with the pin switching sticker.

I never had firmware issues though. It ran fine like nothing ever happened.

 

Just to have a single cable vs two to make the circuit like ear buds. It only needs to handle 100 ma so it dan be thin which I prefer. Was hoping to get a metallic color insulation or clear to have the copper showing. Speaker and lamp wire seemed a bit too thick for how I wanted it to look.

 

Sorry, what are you trying to make again?

Very cool. Pic from the Klipsch Museum.

 

is there any way to have an old dell (xps720 model) be able to utilize a larger than 1TB hard drive?

 

If you drink it slow enough to taste you’re doing it wrong

 

If you drink it fast enough to make fat girls skinny and ugly girls attractive, you're also doing it wrong.
