Operation Delta 3 - 013

QOH,

Please feel free to share the excruciating and graphic details of that dream you had about Goose.

QoH was MaryAnne and Goose was gilligan and they were down at the lagoon at sunset and...you can take over anytime now Queenie.


If I can be serious for a minute
I asked a while back if anyone suggested for goose to do a trial run of just the mobo cpu and video card before he puts anything inside the case....it can be very frustrating if you put everything inside and then find out one of the components is bad....I always do this first....(well after the first time that something was bad anyway)
Makes it much easier

And greengoose1 will announce "It's a boy!" and enthusiastically cut the power cord, thinking it's the umbilical.., https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

BTW, goose: Please do the "dry run"--before mounting the mobo, put the CPU and HSF on there, also the RAM--check to make sure that the vid card can be mounted on there without having to remove the RAM sticks first. There's been some boards coming out with that nuisance "glitch". Will save you some grief. And don't forget that little dab of thermal paste and to plug in that HSF.

And make sure you have your toothbrush, your jammies and "Teddy"....(I'm sounding like an anxious mother....)

It was in color. Kinda 'circuit board' green. goose was being verrry gentle. On the dining room table. Didn't take long. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

OH no she didn't just say that....

What's this trial run "stuff" on the vid card and CPU? Please explain.

Please stop using this thread now as it has hit 80 and use the Operation Delta Announcement thread. This will get us thru until tonight when The Operation Delta - 14 - BT thread is started.

Murf, Please lock this thread. Thanks

QoH didn't finish... after GG1 finally got the RAM installed they both had a smoke https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

We're all getting excited about tonight's build. I'll be there off and on most likely, not like GG1 needs our assistance anymore https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

btw I got inspired (again) and finally made some major purchases for my upcoming build (not sure if it will be Delta worthy but we'll see https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ :

Sound Blaster Live! Platinum Dolby 5.1 version - $83, free shipping!

Delta DVD drive, $50 + S&H (eBay)

And, was this a good deal or not?

Two (2) IBM DeskStar 34.2 Gig. hard drive, 7200RPM Ultra DMA: $177 shipped (for my RAID setup)

FYI bistro: I think TigerDirect sends those catalogs at LEAST once a week. Makes for good kindling material https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
