 Thought I should probably introduce myself! People appear to be quite friendly so I will try and pop in every now and again to say hello!
I work in Durham (UK) as a code monkey and like to dabble with hardware (but I'm no expert!)
Currently throwing together a windows home server and an upgrade to my main machine - should look like this:
Home Server:-

AKASA 120mm Amber series 3pin Ultra quiet case fan
OCZ ModStream 520W Modular PSU
Pentium D 805 (cooled by Zalman (CNPS9500-LE) Cross Platform Cooling Fan)
Asus P5WD2-E Premium 975
4* Hitachi Deskstar 250GB
4 * 1GB, Ballistix 240-pin DIMM
Main Machine
Zotac 9800GT ECO Edition 512MB GDDR3
Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Processor Cooler
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Socket 775 (3.0GHz) 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache Retail Boxed Processor
Crucial 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz/PC3-10600 Ballistix Memory Kit CL6 1.8V

Should keep me busy tonight!
Anyway enough of a ramble - nice to meet you all!

Glad you made it over to the meeting place.
Things can go a bit crazy here but it's all fun.
Feel free to join in with anything that's here (the 24 hour random rubbish thread is in full swing at the moment)

Welcome, pull up a mushroom, pass the twiglets and make yourself at home  P.S. BobbDobbs has a bit of a complex where John_Vella is concerned...J_V is made of Awesome I think the Dobbinator is afraid to admit that, but his counselling should help. He's right about HK and Sas though. _________________The Official "Saucy Minx" This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

Do you have to keep them warm? Or are they grown in the fridge? _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter. "Let my windows be open to receive new ideas but let me also be strong enough not to be blown away by them." - Mahatma Gandhi.
