Bigstan's farm

[Stan_Lite]

The story so far:

I have posted quite a lot recently regarding my farm and the additions thereto, so I thought it was about time it got some coverage.

Photo 1 (Bedroom):

From left to right we have: Monty (tucked in at the back) who is a dual core 805D@3000MHz. In front of him, on the floor we have Bart who is an Opty 170@2600MHz, on top of him (nekkid) we have Moe (a recent addition) - a 1700XP@2180MHz, next (on the floor we have Maggie who is an X2 3800+@2800MHz. On the desk is another new addition - the XPS [email protected] (core duo) and on the bedside cabinet is Lisa who is a Dothan@1600MHz.

Photo 2 (Living room):

From left to right we have Millhouse who isn't playing ball (A64 San Diego 4000+), next we have Marge who is an X2 3800+@2500MHz and on the right is the current gaming machine, Homer - an X2 4400+@2600MHz.

Photo 3 (Kitchen):

Last but not least, we have Abe who is an A64 San Dieigo 4000+@2700MHz.

So there you have it - Bigstan's farm.

Millhouse is playing silly buggers just now. He was working fine until I updated the bios and now all I get is "Error Loading Operating System" when I try to boot. I've tried fixboot, fixmbr and various other stuff including reformatting and flashing to an earlier bios - all to no avail.

If anyone can help then please do so (it's a DFI NF4 Lanparty Ultra D, by the way) - there's a bottle of whisky for the first one who helps me sort it out.

Please excuse the mess, I've been getting annoyed at Millhouse all afternoon and enjoying tweaking Moe all evening - he shifts a bit for an old geezer

That's some farm!

Hopefully I can get a load of old old old cheap PC's and run them when I'm living at uni accomodation (Electricity included in the rent )

That's awesome!!!

Good work.

How much do you think this costs you in electricity?

Congrats, that is truly hardcore! Makes me feel ashamed

I have an inkling as to what this could be. I've had this before after flashing BIOSes. I fixed it by changing one of the hard drive settings. Give me an hour or so and I'll reboot and tell you which setting it was.

I tried changing the hard drive access from "auto" to "LBA" and to "large" if that's what you mean but to no avail - if you mean something else then the bottle's your's (if it works ).

Unplug all your HDDs and then plug only your OS HDD back in and reboot. Should work, even if you only have one HDD, unplug and plug back in. Talking about data cable, not power.

You'll be enjoying the whisky yourself unless anyone else has any ideas That was what I meant!

Just remember never to tell anyone where you live!

Can you actually sleep in your bedroom at night?

I can sleep on the chopper going out to the rig

I used to have a 120mm Delta running full tilt on the Opty but it only made about 1 degree difference so I stopped it (never bothered me sleeping).

I switched on the desk fan in photo 1 instead - makes a fair bit of difference.

same here - I used to have 5 fairly noisy machines running in my bedroom and noise was never an issue

the heat could get a bit silly though
