Workshop and Cascade

We cleaned out our gararge Monday and set up a computer workshop in the corner.
We also have the Cascade unit running and have it in the garage as well.
I have been testing out quite a few different CPUs and gpus and getting a motherboard and CPU to work together at -100*C... I have a lot to learn still about subzero computer testing for sure.
Pictures to come soon.

BSA Polar Bear Award trip






Posted pictures from this weekend's cold BSA trip. http://picasaweb.google.com/Danielee.linux/BSAPolarBearAwardCampingTripOakMtn#
We camped overnight at Oak Mtn State Park in below-freezing weather and cooked three meals for the BSA polar bear award. We had a great time and learned more about camping in the cold and about our gear. :)

Favorite app so far: TuneIn Radio
I can get all of the local radio stations as well as many more all over the world!

Some new toys arrived yesterday... currently testing out all of their features...
Ipod Touch 3G and a Gigabyte X58 UD7 Motherboard. :)

The motherboard supports USB 3.0 and SATA 3, I don't have any USB 3 devices to test unfotunately... :(
I got it up to 227bclk fairly easily, I will have to work on it some more to get 237bclk. (The "bclk wall" for this UD7 board for many other overclockers)

The Ipod supports microphone voice recording, haven't tried that out yet either. I'll have to see if the voice recognition software works as well as my headset with Windows...

I've been pretty busy and neglecting to post lately.
I haven't taken many pictures in the last few months of people and scenery but instead have been getting many shots of my computer builds.
Around this Christmas season I have been up to building 3 or so computers a week. It has been fun to assemble and test them.
I have a Cascade CPU cooler to freeze any CPU to -100*C for extreme overclocking and have been learning a lot about insulating motherboards because of that. :)
I will try to post much more this month, pictures, results, and maybe a few hardware reviews.

I have missed my church family over the last two months and hope to see you all soon!
