In the process of revampin my equipment lately. Waitin on a new Intel i7 4790K (4 dual threaded cores @ 4gigs Woohoo!) to replace my aging i7 and drop it into my Antec Skeleton that's been gatherin dust for awhile now to function as my LR machine. Even sprung for a bad boy Noctua dual fan CPU cooler and 16gigs of DDR3. Then there's a 4TB external for mobile file shenanigans. Gonna use a new 240gig SSD for the OS drive and 'spect that coupled w/the new proc and RAM should make it a screamin meanie

For my server it's got all new Noctua fans to replace the stockers in the Antec 1200 case. It's loaded up w/4-4TB drives (a tad over 13 used). It's gettin the old 2.93gig i7 and mobo from the Antec 900 machine plus an Intel 120gig SSD for its OS drive. Yeah, I know, that's kinda like towin a boat w/a 767, but WTH, I ain't chunkin it out, just kinda puttin it out to pasture and it'll be doin double duty as my BR machine..

Then No1 grandson's gonna get a 2.66gig i7 machine for Christmas built outta various left overs I have layin around w/another 120gig Intel SSD for it's OS drive, all slapped into the old 900 case. The kid'll have a waaay better mosheen than he needs, but he is No1 grandson, so ....

Even at 7yrs old those 4 core/dual threaded i7s are still plenty quick and have been dead nutz dependable. Figure by the time I get tired of the new proc for my main machine maybe they'll have a quantum leap in cores and proc speeds and have come down enough to make 'em reasonable



PS: This is the point where pulse usually regales us w/details of his latest rig, which makes my stuff sound like some crap from around 1020 BC. Outta curiosity, whatcha runnin these days dude?
