I love computers. No doubt about that.
I also love pushing my computer hardware
to it's limits and beyond. But my real pride
and joy is modifying them and designing
and building add-on devices.

Dell 8600 Notebook CPU + GPU upgrade


My first high performance notebook was my
trusty Dell Inspiron 8600. It's CPU and GPU
were poorly cooled with some sort of blue gunk.
I have no pics of that, but just look at the site
above, that's how I did it.

 

Really cool lappy cooler

My XPS Gen 2 runs hot, very hot. So hot in fact
that a little extra cooling couldn't hurt. The readily
available coolers didn't fit my 17" beast (I mean
the notebook), so I had to make my own.

 

Watercooling my whole rig

Watercooling is perfect for making your
computers components able to run faster and to
make the whole rig more quiet. In complexity,
I kinda overshot the mark, but in a good way.

 

X800XL extra performance mod

Everybody wants maximum performance but
pay nothing for it. I'm just like that and therfore
I volt-modded my videocard a wee bit to
make it work that much harder.
