AMD Stuff -Steve
Got some top secret AMD action going on today, pictured here are two
brand new AMD CPU's, the "Morgan Core" Duron and the soon to
be announced AthlonXP. Pretty spiff-tacular stuff if you ask me. ( and
yes..the core on the AXP is "flashed out on purpose...

I finally put the BluePC into a case so I can have
a contest and we can give this thing away...If it seems like it has
taken a longtime...well, I apologize...it has. I have been waiting for
one of TWO companies that were suppose to send a Clear case for the
BluePC to be housed in. Both companies left me hanging, so I ham giving
up my own PERSONAL clear Lexan case...reworked with all the Blue components
in it. I will fire up this contest as soon as we finish up the IBM Had
drive giveaways this week... but here's a peek.
*UPDATE*
For those of you wondering, Clearview Technologies was the
one that GAVE me the case originally, not one of the abovementioned
companies. AND ClearPC
also contacted me and let me know there was a few minor shipping problems
that delayed the case from making it here...but it is on it's way.
Coolness...

Well...you may remember last week I was complaining that the moronic
construction company that digs up our electricity and cable twice a
week...well the did it good this time. I will be a 56k kinda guy for the
next few days until they get this straightened out... sucks.
I did however get all the Celeron 850
winners notified so we can move on to the 30gb HD's for a week contest
;^) I have also finished up the BluePC ( kinda...)
Mon 8.20.01 -Steve
Well, I thought I'd update everyone on what my wife got for her
Birthday. . . being somewhat of a animal person ( she works with animals
) and we have a variety of lizards now ( Madagascar Day Gecko's, Leopard
Gecko's, a Water Dragon...) I thought that this was just the perfect
addition to the family...
Fri 8.17.01 -Steve
HAH!!! Sometimes you just can't catch a break. . .
there I was just working away at the [H]
when all the sudden...no internet connection?? WTH?? Sure enough...I
get up, wander over to check the cable modem, no signal. Damn, I hobble
back to the room to call the Cable company, and I lose all power (
electricity ) to the house as well. The moronic construction company
that is rebuilding the High School in our neighborhood had dug up a
cable. I spent most of my Birthday with no cable modem or power to the
house. Just lovely  . Power
is on...but the cable modem is going in and out now.
Hopefully we have power
all day today...since today is my wife's Birthday now too. Yes...we are
one day apart ;^)

Well, tomorrow I will be 33yrs old.... ARGHH...but, to show you that I
am a good sport about becoming old and crusty, I have rounded up some of
the greatest products on the planet for giveaway. No kidding. I am also
going to re-start my famous "A Product a Day for a Week"
contests. I will be doing the Celeron
a Day for a Week first, then hard drives and other stuffs
next... get in this contest and win an 850MHz Intel Celeron:
I ended the KT7E Contest finally, I got
all the winner's boards out to them...had a little glitch ( someone
entering 150,000+ times...heh no kidding ) that I finally got settled.
But all is good now.
Weekend -Steve
Been taking it easy this weekend doing some really "light"
messing around....I jumped on a pair of these blue anodized fan adapters
from OverClockers Hideout.
HELLA SCHWEET. . . I know I don't hardly ever use products like they
were intended...but that is the fun of it. If you don't like these on
your CPU fan...then try them out on your case. I will be using these on
the upcoming Clear Blue PC as soon as the final piece (the case) comes
in from ClearPC.... yeah
baby.
Thu 8.09.01 -Steve
6 more days and I'll be 33yrs old... UGH!! I have
some AWESOME giveaways coming up. We will be doing a Hard Drive A Day
For A Week, then a Celeron A Day For A Week after that...or vice
versa...it don't matter. It's up to you guys really. Let me know what
you want ;^). I also need to get my hands on a wireless keyboard and
mouse setup...preferably black ( for the home theater set up ). I wanna
hear your experiences with different wireless set ups.
Home Stuff -Steve
I have some interesting stuff for you. . . I
recently finished my HOME ENTERTAINMENT system, and I am
seriously enjoying the DVD with Surround Sound , surfing the web ( with
cable modem access too ;^) and playing games, or online gaming all from
my couch. Awesome, and I recommend it to everyone... build your OWN home
entertainment system, instead of shelling out BIG buck, for a DVD /
Surround System, and it still can do the web, or the games / online
gaming etc.
the strange part is
having to put all 500+ VHS movies of ours up for sale, since we will be
switching to DVD. I figured I'd offload the whole bunch for like $2.00 a
movies, and I'd pay the shipping.. If you want to see what that many
movies looks like, as well as a COMPLETE
LIST of the movies...click here.

In case most of you don't know. . . it is our buddy, Asia Carrera's
Birthday today!!! Hypothermia's HOTTEST friend turns 28 today. So join
me in wishing her a Happy Birthday, and thanking her for all the support
she has shown Hypothermia and myself ...
Happy
Birthday Asia!!!
Weekend -Steve
Weekend stuff coming up... I have been getting a
few things ready around here for upcoming giveaways with GREAT companies
like Hercules, Intel, EPoX, Koolance, Asus and more. I have been busy.
Throw in the upcoming interviews and such, and this might just be an interesting
month. And before anyone says anything funny...Yes, on the 15th of this
month is my birthday, I turn 33.... good lord, I'm dying 
re-arranging the work
area out here too...I'm getting cramped. I have already moved the wife's
system to our bedroom upstairs, each of the kids have their in their
room now, and the "entertainment center" computer is up in the
livingroom and I still don't have any room. So I have decided to re-do
everything out in my area...and eventually CLEAN
THIS MESS UP!!!!
Thu 8.02.02 -Steve
I have been dinking around lately with that
Espresso PocketPC I have. . .600MHz, 64mb, 6gb was the original
configuration. Even though it is small enough to fit in your pocket, it
was kinda wussy by today's standards, so I am beefing it up, making it a
"QuadShot Espresso"!!! Heh... I made that up.
KGR 5 Update -Steve
I am looking for a little input. . . actually, a
lot of input. Every Killer Gaming Rig to
date has been an AMD Powered machine. Mainly due to the fact that AMD
has always been a big supporter of the hardware/gaming community and
have always been right there with sponsorship. Well, we have the opportunity,
ONLY IF there is significant interest, to have a Pentium 4
powered Killer Gaming Rig.
It is as easy as
submitting your vote here if you would like to see a Pentium 4 Powered
Machine. . . or Continue with an AMD KGR5!!! You make the call!!!
