As some of y'all know, \\b0rris met an untimely end one foul power failure more than 6 weeks ago. I've diagnosed and re-diagnosed and replaced pieces but to no avail...and it's not without a heavy heart, that I'll have to say goodbye to him..

There will be a small ceremony this weekend.

\\father does not seem too distraught, as he will be getting a huge upgrade from what \\b0rris bequeths - whether or not I'll be able to do all of that on my own, remains to be seen...which brings me to the resounding question; How much of the original box needs to be replaced before it constitutes getting a new name?

All philosophies aside, I want you all to please welcome \\cl4uss, my new pride and joy *hands out cigars* (It's a boy!) :D

\\ce4sar??

As in ceasarion. This was probably the most difficult birth of a new machine EVER!
A small list of things that went wrong - some things twice.

• Wrong PSU and CPU. Outdated BIOS. Missing drives.
• Failed Windows installation. Failed BIOS flash. Memory running at wrong speed.
• And it took roughly 8-9 hours to get the machine to the point of playing a game.

Then a new cpu and PSU later everything seems fine - so far.

Lets hope \\cl4uss grows out of his difficult stage quickly! 8).

Et tu Irrational?

I'm glad to announce that no further anomolies have been recorded. Prince of Persia runs like a dream, The Simpsons, Hit and Run have not even been prepared for running at such a high-res, and Doom continues to scare the begeebies out of me :)

As many a young parent would agree...the time the infant spent in the incubator, only strengthens the bond between father and child (so much so, that my house still resembles something out of a post-apocolypse movie)

Thanks again for all your efforts (oh...and welcome to ÜberEllis).
