This is a forced upgrade, because the motherboard on our current rig is living on borrowed time. So I only ordered the bare essentials (motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphics card, hard disk...the price you pay when a four-year-old PC needs to be replaced). Placed the order on Friday, I'll hear from the guys tomorrow hopefully about the availability of the CPU I ordered (brand new Wolfdale, the E8200!).
A UPS will certainly be our next target, once we can afford it; brownouts over here are a freaking plague. Don't know about that specific model, but APC is a well-known brand. |
Hi DrBeast,
Sounds like quite the overhaul in dry dock. Did you add a new power supply (ps) along with the other upgrades? You want to be careful that the old PS can handle all the new goodies. I spent a stretch in Los Angeles and a UPS came most in handy during all those Enron related rolling blackouts.
best,
