My Modded PC

DSC_0005

My power supply fried everything in my computer in October of 09. Because of a tight budget and lack of motivation (mostly due to an x-box 360) It took a little over a year to get it back and running. In between purchases of major components, I made several modifications to my Antec SLK3700 BQE case. Some mods are for cable management, some for more efficient cooling. Most are just for the hell of it! This is the first time I've (re)built a PC or made any kind of mods. It's been a fun and enlightening process. I'm definitely building another machine for myself in another couple of years

Again, infinite thanks to Tom for all his time and effort to actually make my PC work!

Still Here

vlcsnap-2011-02-15-02h07m43s24

So I got my computer back up and running after 15 months of slowly replacing all the components that got fried. I have been editing some of the session footage Cory has been filming for the past year and hope to upload a few videos a month. We have been kicking indoors at The Shop with 4-5 players every session . Tommy is in Florida for a few more months concentrating on his art, Bryan has been MIA since last summer and Ronnie is planning on joining the Navy. Rob Creel is expected to move to Chicago during the summer and I'm still in contact with a potential new player who, despite severely spraining his ankle at a practice session with me last summer, still wants to learn to play. I can't wait to get outside again.
