Important new addition to the family
A brand spanking new 5m x 3m steel shed, ok it’s not here yet, but it’s on the way. then the winter slowdown can go feck it’s self after i get a nice warm insulated dry shed.
Christmas pressies for us 🙂 which is mine?
Another pressie, this time a very cheap AM2 motherboard, why is it cheap? because it’s a mBTX and a toshiba, mBTX not very popular anymore (it’s still pretty good tho) and toshiba of a certain vintage won’t play nice with certain types of RAM, last stick in the bottom of the scrap pile was good!
Thumbs up for this one.
Thumbs down for all these
Fix mBTX to a ATX case? epoxy, meccano and some out of the box thinking (geddit? 😀 ) I’ve fitted 2x500gb sky+ harddrives, they’ll be a LVM data backup as the arcade setup wont’ take much space, (i’m not some wack rom hoarder) the LVM setup will get a 750GB added later. gotta fix up a spot to mount it. Also bought a 4200+ cpu from CEX, it’s runs right now at 2.2ghz i think.
so the older thingy has been dedicated to upto 16bit consoles only, nintendo is well supported, but i’m have loads of fun with the sega megadrive emulators.
Also built a couch, tided a corner and stuck the tv in there. yes i built it, with a chainsaw.
found a souncard and pad in the attic, no idea if it works, but i found something even better up there as well..
Yeap, an N64, sweet as fuck,
the sticks are worn out, but fixable.
just booted right up, even had the save files….
Things done in the garage, nothing actually, this is mostly teds stuff.
very worn out k3 xl250 cam tensioners blades. probably not going to put that bike back together.
however it has helped bringing this much nicer k0 xl250 back to life.
Very lumpy cam super secret cam for the racing 90, got that months ago, still not fitted.
so long time away from the blog, not much has really happened mostly due to a really wet winter and the medication really slowing me down, going to get the arcade built for the shed, so we can finally have out house/baby/shed warming party 🙂
