Well, I was going to write a post about the new PC I built for my Christmas present to myself, BUT...got home from work late, then had dinner, then the dogs mugged me to take them for a walk, then had some Radio Club biz to take care of, then my sister called........geez, hectic night!
It's a screamer, though. Intel i7 Quad Core, 16GB of memory, a pair of 2TB SATA 6GB/s hard drives, NVidia 660 graphics card, running the newest version of OpenSUSE, 13.1.
And everything worked out-of-the-box, after I finished installing the OS.
Linux sure has come a long ways!
Later......

Sounds like a screamer, all right. Now: first assignment is warp drive, followed by transporter technology.
ReplyDeleteWait ... since this is you we're talking about, try subspace radio first. Then the others. :)
Very nice... :-) But you really need a Tesla card... :-)
ReplyDeleteBut when you say that I can't help but think of Old NFO's joke this week "I got a sweater for Christmas. I wanted a screamer or a moaner". :-)
ReplyDeleteHAH!
DeleteBTDT!
So, where did you get this equipment from and how hard was it to put together? Did you get a monitor with it also? Did it come with a key board and mouse? Heltau
ReplyDeleteBought everything from Newegg.com, and I've been building PC's since 1990, so no, it wasn't hard (for me!) to build.
ReplyDeleteI already have a good keyboard and mouse, and use them with a KVM switch for the two other computers in my "Radio Room".
Likewise, I didn't need a monitor, as I'm using a Dell UltraSharp 24" I've had for some time.
