New take on lighting for the shop

Found this site that has a great selection of ELWire... at reasonable prices too.

I ordered enough Dark Blue to circle completely around the top of the wall inside the shop, should add a electric look to things.

Eagerly Awaiting UPS

Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive

 

I am looking forward to experiencing the true speed of a good SSD. I know that Seagate's 1TB Hybrid is a great value... but I still want more speed.

Moving Forward... Albeit Slowly

Most of the critical stuff is now in my new shop, having a difficult time deciding on exactly how to arrange it all to make the best use of the space available #organizational skills.
I just ordered my new workstation PC which will allow me to regain a considerable amount of desktop space. 

The Asus EEEBox  with the Intel Atom D2700 (2.13GHz, Dual-Core Ht)  and NVidia GeForce 640M  graphics.

Together with 4GB Ram and a Solid State Drive, and my favourite Ubuntu install, makes for a more than adequate work station that is really snappy, all for under $350.

Slow progress

If it isn't one thing its another... had a hard drive fail in my server... finally back up and running. Guess I can't complain too much, it had been up and running for over 7 years steady. I was able to save all the data OK and took the opportunity to upgrade to the latest release of Vortexbox as well, and added SubSonic for internet streaming. Hopefully I will be able to go another 7 years without incidence. Not bad for a 12 year old beat-up Dell with a P4 and 1GB ram.  Try THAT with Windows  ROFLMAO!.
