I mentioned whilst writing the Project Nineteen logs, that I would be back with a third project involving my server...

Well, after a few weeks of on/off 'modding' Project Yeong Yang is finally finished. However, whereas with my other two projects, I wrote a log alongside my work - for this, I've left the logging until now. So expect a full write-up over the next week or so, as I gather together all the pictures that I've taken throughout.

It's not as spectacular as Red Nineteen, or as bold as Pink PC - more practical than cosmetics.

For a start, it took me over 24 hours to format all of the drives within it. It has taken me weeks to plan the exact software setup. It has taken me hours to allocate drive letters, partition it all and decide what is going where. And that's only the Hard Discs. Off the top of my head, it has 14 fans of various sizes within it, keeping it nice and cool for 24/7 use. Tomorrow I've got to connect it up to the network finally and sort out users/permissions. Then it's just a case of putting it up into the loft, where it will remain for good.

Oh, then I've got to write several batch files and test them, prior to backing everything up. But if everything goes to plan, we'll have over 1.4TB of storage space to play with. Within the last few hours one of the 120GB drives crapped out on me, so it was quickly replaced with a spare 160GB I had lying around...

oh, btw http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/09/10/four_cores_on_the_rampage_uk/

adamskii@work


Ok that article was fairly dull. Sorry.

adamskii@work


The only header images I can think of, is this one and this one. Both of which were taken a good few months back. I'll get some pic-a-tures up soon-ish. Just gotta take some more tonight once it's in the loft.

its that 1st one! Im so bored at work noone is here, Im just sitting here lol. I read thru that 4 core benchmarks and i saw something im pretty happy - confused about. They benchmarked on 3dmark 2006 doing the graphics test. The test rig with my cpu scored 6161. This is weird because I scored 6183 on my 1st benchmark and thats with a x1900xt not a x1900xtx (that they use) Im also running shitter ram, same make but slower cas timings becuase i have no money. I'd read that it didnt hurt too much for intel chips. jeebus im bored. bloody filter on network makes the internet a lot less fun.

adamskii@work


did u see this, http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2006/09/11/Crazy_portable_X360_mod/ wow thats quite something. bah im going home early i cant take this.

adamskii@work


Did you see our memory has gone up like £30-40 in the last week or two? Memory as a whole has leapt up, but Simon pointed it out at the weekend. My chips cost me around £190, now they're over £220 and yours are up to £190 I believe. Good job eh?

Matt


woah shit, not looked yet but if your right then.....what happened?!

Adamskii@home


I guess it's just a fluctuation in the memory market - that, or Core 2 has put a huge demand on DDR2 (especially the decent Corsair stuff), meaning that they've put their prices up. Either way, I'm glad I purchased my sticks when I did.

Have you tried overclocking your chip yet? I've read a lot of posts about people getting to 3.8GHz+ on Air cooling with the lower speed Core 2 chips - some insane overclockers have had them at over a 100% overclock.

Matt


I leave work in 2 more days...cant...take...it...anymore....

Expect more free time crap from me, like demozone and pooter writeup thing. Gonna live of this month wage for a year. easy....

maybe not.

adamskii@work


well i not leaving, contract ends and i dont want it renewed. Time to move on.

adamskii@work


Which effectively means you're leaving!

Lucky guy, I wish I had lots of free time once again. Being a student was the best 3 years.

Matt


Ok leaving, but if i said that it sounds like I quit, which is just bad mkay. This way I have an excuse! yeah im considereing the student thing for another year next year... I might pay for that masters, seen a course at home here i pretty interested in... it.... innit. About overclocking, I almost had a go last weekend... then realised best leave it for when im not hungover. I bought this months micromart magasine, A. Because its cheapo, and B. because it had an article on overclocking and while i know everything is on the web, i just prefer to read magasines for that stuff. After I read that Im gonna have a crack. Another problem too is my game addiction. With all this new speed I'm constantly playing games again...its bad.

adamskii@work


oh btw the cheaper 2mb cache chips do seem to clock the highest on air, forgotten why but i read somewhere. Pretty much no chance Ill get anywhere near 3.8 but I hoping for a nice 3ghz-ish. I wanna give it a meduim overclock being a 1st timer and all.

adamskii@work


Wayo, im gunna overclock my chip to 2.00 GHz see what happens. Uni was da best, lets set up buisness even if its just reselling web space. Still sommat to do innum. I worked out that we could buy unlimited server space and accounts for £40 a month and re-selling it at £30 a year; we would need 70 accounts to break even. LOL sounds shit but 70 is not a lot considering there are loads of web sites out there.

ok we can do business, ive got nothing else on. Working for other fookers is a load of shit.

Oh and your 2ghz is sooooo NOOOOOOB i am teh 1337 sh17 I can upgrade to pentium III speeds without even trying. Gonna clock my RAM to 9 inches too.
