Day one of a two day wedding affair is over.


..Although is it three if you have to stay at a hotel and have breakfast with the couple the day after the second day?

 

No it's not 'three'. If you wake up with the couple that's a 'threesome'.

 

Was driving back home on the bike yesterday after doing a few errands. As I got near one of the local schools I could see two girls, must've been about 7 or 8, pressed up against the fence and waving at the cars going past. It looked like they were being ignored so I gave them few toots of the horn and waved back. Their reaction was the most adorable thing I've seen in a long time, they were so happy and excited.

Still doesn't make me want kids of my own though

 

I blame free beer.

 

@Wakka has some to get rid of, in FS...

 

De-fluffing the insides on my PC case... not a full dismantle & surgical scrubbing job, just a quick hoovering.
Also discovered that my fan set-up is already the way it's recommended to be (three pre-fitted 120mm units on DC @ full chat & two added-by-me 120mm intakes on mainboard PWM), so no need to change that.
Added an old 250GB 840 Pro SSD as back-up storage, so that process is a fair bit faster to run than w/ a 7200 HDD.

FTR; is it practical to have a daily driver PC surgically clean on the inside...?

 

Oversharing!

I should clean mine more, it's not had a clean since I bought a gpu last year. It'll get a clean when i move and get onto Zen2

Come to think of it the only other times i clean it is if i see temps starting to creep up.

 

No, really... proper Dyson (other vacuum cleaners are available ) job, it was...

Beats me how much fluff gets inside a PC case even w/ dust filters on the input fans.

Mates PSU needed defluffing

 

Surprised that bugger still RUNS...! Dunno about defluffing, that looks like it needs decommissioning.

 

It ran great .. loud ... but great. It looks a lot better now.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say - someone in that household smokes...

 

Just get yourself a case with DECENT dust filters, then all you have to do is "defluff" the filters rather than the case.

 

Most of the time I only go inside the case to swap stuff out... so hardly ever.
I personally don't see how the insides of a 'daily driver' of a PC can be kept surgically clean; not saying it's impossible, more that it's impractical (for me, anyway).

This P280 is the best 'filtered' case I've had, so far - compared to the Aopen HX-08 I once had, this is a dream to maintain.

 

I was thinking that, too... but you're braver than me, @RedFlames

 

HMRC are giving me a going away present.

Or, more accurately, a tax refund.

 

Bonfire is off folks, car passed its MOT with no advisories pretty pleased considering its hitting almost 128k miles 18k of which I'm ragged on it within the last 12 months!
