Okay. Mansion 5 is now up. SP3, AVG, Spybot all locked in before it ever went online. Maybe this will last more than a day this time.

All but the single root drive is unplugged currently; it's the only way I could get the power consumption down into the range of the 450w PSU I have currently. New unit should arrive Monday-ish, along with the new case. Firefox 3 and Semagic are installed, and the next stop is at Cerulean Studios for the latest Trillian Basic release. There'll be no games for this machine until she's comfy in the new case with the rest of the drives hooked up; most of my games (and the near monstrous WoW directory) are already on them and just need linked. There're a handful I'll have to completely reinstall, but most of them are portable-ish. There. Trillian's installed, so now I can get it set up as well. Then it's a dive into the taskbar-based menus I use, getting them loaded and set up properly. Lots of little things to do, now.

M5. Symbolic, given my passion for Star Trek:

Kirk: "I'm curious, Doctor, why is it called the M5?"
Daystrom: "Well you see, M1 to M4 were not entirely successful. This one is. M5 is ready to take control of your ship."
Kirk: "Total control?"
Daystrom: "That is what it is designed for."
Kirk: "There are some things that Men have to do to remain Men, your computer takes that away."
Daystrom: "The computer can do your job ... One machine can do all those things that Men do now. Men can go on to do greater things..."

Hopefully I'll fare better than the Excalibur, Hood, Lexington and Potemkin did...

Or than the M5.

eep... i try to avoid SP3, after what it did to some of the school computers. If it's working for you, go for it, otherwise, be careful and ready to reinstall SP2

SP3 has thus far been clean. I'll know more once Mansion is rehomed into the RaidMax case with the beefier PSU; until then I can't test some of my heavier games. There were a half dozen or so small fixes after SP3; it's possible that they mend the broken paths caused by the parent SP.

hopefully it works out for you... btw, you should do a WoW toon on Eldre'Thalas alliance... I left the guild I was in due to major disagreements, and started my own "The Unknown Soldiers" :)

I'll only worry if you name the next iteration Nomad or V'ger...


However...

I'll only get scared if you name the next project Colossus.

*hugs*

At least someone got the reference. :)

I could always call the next one Skynet. :D

If you did, I'd be too dead to worry or be afraid. :P

oh, I got the reference. If I hadn't, i'd be worried...

I suppose you could always name the system Blue/Throat.

But, then, it would only be down for a good game of chess.
