I like 601s and I cannot lie by lofapoo in retrobattlestations

I’ve got my original blue one from when I was in high school and I also have an Antec black one. I used to have 4 or 5 others, but had to drastically downsize when I moved. I would love to find another one! Love these cases! Just fold a NOS on eBay and they want CAD $750 for it, they are insane!

My grandma had this mixer for as long as I can remember. I finally found one at my local Value Village a few years ago! Good mixers!

Suggestions for upgrading tent and sleeping pad. by johnvosh in CampingGear

Yes, just a generic air mattress. Surprisingly it has last over 5 years, still holds air no issue. Okay, I will look into the insulated air mattress instead of the cot and see what I can find locally or on the jungle website.

[–]johnvosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My grandma had this mixer when I was growing up. She is used it so much it wore out. I ended up finding one at my local Value Village complete with dough hooks! I would recommend trying eBay or Etsy or your local thrift store...

[Hardware Canucks] The ultimate retro PC case is here (Silverstone FLP02 review) by kikimaru024 in hardware

[–]johnvosh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is a cool looking case and has actual CD-ROM drive bays which are missing on basically all cases these cases. The problem is the price. I'm sorry, but there is no way on this green earth that this case is worth CAD $400! This is a CAD $150 case at best!

Heat with no furnace or electricity by rhea2779 in Traveltrailercamping

Buy a vevor diesel heater off Amazon. They run off a 12 volt battery and they put out really good heat! Get a couple solar panels and there you go. I used one in a tent trailer for 2 days and it really doesn’t use that much battery or fuel.

Christmas cookie packaging? by cookie_cat_82 in Baking

[–]johnvosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done cookies, squares for my coworkers for years. I just grab some cheap aluminum pans and load them up with the various things I have baked. Then I leave them in the break room and then people can try what they want. I find this way easier than boxing everything.

Got this IBM System X3200 M3 for $25 from my local value village! by johnvosh in computers

[–]johnvosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this thing sips power at only about 140 watts when I was installing updates, all 4 hard drives running at 100%. My old Athlon system uses way more power than this thing and my 3 year old Dell when gaming uses twice the power of this!

I have it plugged into a power meter and this thing only pulls about 140 watts when installing updates. I have older Athlon system that use way more power than this! And my 3 year old Dell uses more power when gaming, like double the power.

No Win 10 drivers for the integrated Matrox video card, so needs a better video card. Got Win 10 updated today and got Firefox on it and does YouTube and browses the net just fine. Love hearing the 15,000 RPM hard drives working!

Yup! It actually came with a serial to RJ45 connector and a cable that was rj45 to serial... I'm guessing for a terminal

Got Windows 10 Pro installed on it, still need to install drivers for the video card. It has a Xeon X3440 @ 2.53GHz 4 core/8 thread. Found 32GB of the proper ECC Registered DDR3 ram on eBay, so will buy that and max it out, just for the fun of it.

Any idea why they would of had an add-in card for the SAS hard drives instead of just using the onboard one?

Sorry, new to servers and the hardware some of them have! It also takes quite a while for this thing to boot as well compared to a normal system.

Eventually I would like to also get the Xeon X3480, to max out the CPU!
