Mother/ daughter conversation
is not going mother’s way.
All Katrina needs in panel 8 is fangs.
She’s already well on her way with the goth thing,
fangs only would make sense.
I thought that this would be the first page created with my
new-built computer…
The one that it took me almost a year to afford all the parts for…
The one that I spent many hours in my little machine shop,
making custom parts for…
The one that a trial showed renders images four times as
fast as my current one…
But I’m still dealing with software glitches. *sigh*
At least I purchased the memory and storage in early
October, just before the prices went up 5X.
AMD 9950X processor. 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM.
4X Sabrent 4TB NVME Gen 4 storage.
Arctic 360 Pro AIO.
Corsair 1200 watt power supply to feed two EVGA 3090 FTW
graphics cards.
AsRock Taichi Creator motherboard.
Arctic fans.
Assembly was a nightmare. Couldn’t find a case that would hold everything.
And I’m still not finished. At least it runs cool, it just sounds like a jet aircraft while under load.
Now it’s just a matter of getting everything to play nice together. Soon.
What you’re describing sounds like a computer I had drooled over
some years back, but that all sat in an end-table sized case. You
might have to go that way, unless you’d like me to bring back
Frankincase heh!
(I think I can strip out a mini-fridge and cut
sheet metal to cover the front and back…)
Wood-grain of course 😛
I have it in a Lian Li Vision that I got for free. It’s black, I wanted white,
but free? Hell, yes. It works because the motherboard tray can be moved
up, which I had to do so that the bottom GPU would clear the bottom fans.
Motherboard + GPUs wouldn’t fit in any other case I could find.
Then the 3090s wouldn’t go into the Pcie slots because some MB components
were too high, so I had to buy a pair of 7/8 inch card risers, so the cards wouldn’t
mount in the case GPU slots. I had to machine a 7/8 inch aluminum riser for that…
It’s been a nightmare of custom fabrication.
I can guess, standing in that run down shed, wailing away on strips
of sheet-metal shaping them into rails and z-mounts, I remember it
well. Not to mention searching for the copper/brass stand-offs so the
motherboard didn’t touch the framework, but it still had ground. it
was like making a motor mount for a different electric motor out of
plate steel and 2 in angle iron, only in miniature. I had wondered if
there was a way around the different GPU sizes. I envy the 3090s,
the 2080 I have not isn’t as fast as the 1080. When I thought about
making a Frankincase again, I had an idea of making a logo that
was a computer case with Frankie’s head and arms sticking out of it,
cartoon style of course 😉 Thumb up and a stupid grin 😀
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah… Have you actually LOOKED at what your kids are doing?
People can exist in the same universe and NOT effect the other in the slightest.
This woman is so simple minded that her attempt to level the playing field just
cost her her freedom and maybe her children. My eldest was into music and
electronics and my youngest was a grease monkey like me. What kind of person
would I be if I sold off his tool box to by a new guitar for my oldest? good lawd…
Go ahead GC, try it, then you’ll learn what FAFO means. Just another corrupt
government worried that free trade will cut into their bottom line and their easy
jobs harder. Teresa’s fangs weren’t vampire fangs, they were wolf fangs BTW.
At least, that’s my take on it 😀
I brought this story up to my youngest, only I used selling his guns instead.
He said I’d still have my Katana and my knives and you’d be leakin’, HEH!
have you been on a ‘Snapon’ truck.? guns are cheaper.!!
kid after my heart. guns, knives, swords, bows, axes, ect…
and others i have in,, abundance.!
Yeah I have, and a MAC truck as well. Which is why
I said his toolbox at first. Craftsmen is only slightly
better, I mainly bought that, since they has free
replacement on the USA-made tools. I was a pro
mechanic, they would stop at our shop monthly.
But he loves his guns, so I knew it would hit deeper.
I loved Snap-on however, I had a wrench set from
them, and I bent a 1 1/4 combo wrench into an arc
on one job, the Craftsmen wrench would have snapped.
When I went back to the truck on their next visit the
driver laughed when I handed him the wrench, them
handed me a new one, no charge.
Keep in mind, my son thinks the “Zombie apocalypse” is
coming, and what training he’s had would mean squat
in that, so bang-bang stab-stab is his best option heh.
Correction: Craftsmen is only slightly better cost-wise.
Snap-on had the durability beat hands-down.
Food for thought:

That is VERY true…
