My rig

Upon special request after relating my woes of having a suicidal computer, I put up pictures of my computer setup. Click on the pictures to go to Flickr, as I’ve added explanatory notes about many of the items in the pictures – wave your mouse pointer over the version of the picture at Flickr.

My computer tried to leap off a cliff

While performing evening ablutions, I heard a noise that never fails to terrify – CRASH! Used to the antics of my cats, I sighed, and went to discover my computer case had leapt three feet, off my desk to the hardwood depths below.

Much to my surprise, I did not lose any data. I believe my case may have suffered some structural damage, evidenced by the warping of the front panels, but my case has long past the point of prettiness.

I think I’ll buy another Antec case after this one finally succumbs to my abuse. I have an Antec SLK1650 for the benefit of anyone else looking for a well-made case.

Optoma: great repair service

After shipping my Optoma DV10 projector to Optoma’s Mississauga location, I crossed my fingers that it was a simple repair. It must have been, as a scant two working days later, I discovered UPS was trying to deliver me a package!

According to the service report, they replaced the colour wheel and all was well again. Trying it out at home, it works again!!! :D

I missed watching shows on the Really Big screen.
