New CPU Assembler

Just 1 week ago, I receive a call from my father saying that my house's pc has K.O. - ed. It's an aged pc, which I expect it might KO someday, so I'm not really surprise anyway. After I searched for the parts and calculated the price, with a budget of 2k, I bought these parts:

The parts will be further labeled in the latter parts of the post.



I decided to reused some parts of my old pc, since they're still can be used. I brought and reused this display card from my pc in Cyberjaya, and i got a new one for it :)

Inner view of the casing (Cooler Master Chasis CM 690) .

The parts are scattered on the table (for quick and easy access) .

And of course, there're times when you got no space to place everything on, so I have used the sofa of my house. Certainly, I got a lot of scoldings from my mum >.<

A most handy and important tool in assembling a pc.

Outer layers of the casing are removed, for the installations of fans and dvd drive. After that, I started to install the parts into the casing.

Half way through [with just Motherboard, CPU, Heat sink and PSU(Power Supply Unit) installed].

80% done.

The build under beta testing.

Yeah. It works. Therefore, I proceed to add in things and wrap it up.

The final build of the pc (after adding in a reused dvd drive and RAM into it). Here it is.

The specifications are as below:

Motherboard
Gigabyte EP45-UD3L @ Intel P45 chipset - RM 400

Processor
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.50GHZ - RM 680

RAM
2 X Kingston: 4GB - KVR800D2N5 - RM 140 + 2 X Crossair 1 GB - Reused --> 6 GB @ 800 MHZ

Display Card
Nvidia Geforce GT 8500 @ 459 MHZ @ 512 memory - Reused.

Harddisc
Seagate 500GB @ 16M SATA 2 - RM 195

PSU
Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus - OEM @ 500 W - RM 165

DVD Writer
Samsung 22X SH-S223F @ SATA - RM 75 + Sony (unknown) @ IDE - Reused

Case
Cooler Master Chasis CM 690 - RM 260

Miscellaneous
2 X Chasis Fan - RM 60

Total = RM 1975.


All the other parts including keyboard, mouse, printer, speakers and monitor are reused back as well. It's cheap build anyway. In total, I used up around 4 hours assembling this new CPU(including taking photos >.<). Have to get this out as soon as possible as I'll need to complete report with Matlab. That's all. See ya.

Internet Explorer (IE) Vs Mozilla

Well, I found this somewhere. It particularly matched my usage of Internet Explorer (IE), I couldn't agree more. However, I would like to change the green zone of the pie chart to " downloading torrents" as my Mozilla Firefox doesn't respond to torrents (which I don't know why, lol) and I basically won't use IE for surfing the internet either.

A Tragedy

The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a primary school class, found themselves in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy". So the illustrious Rev Jackson asks the class for an example of a "tragedy".

One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy." No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." I'm afraid not," explains the exalted Reverend Al. "That's what we would call a great loss. " The room goes silent. No other children volunteered.

Reverend Al searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room little Johnny raises his hand. In a stern voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy." Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson and Sharpton, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says little Johnny, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either!!!

Overseas

The silent night is killing me, particularly boredom. Everyone has went back to hometown (since Monday is a holiday), and I am here.

I think I myself should study, but I just can't keep it going on. Occasionally, I committed few clicks on my computer.

I just browsed through some friends' photo. They are studying overseas, having fun and get along with foreigners.

Actually, I am quite fond of studying overseas. Still wondering whether should I go for it last time? Bah, my parents don't have that money and I don't have the qualification to get any scholarship either.

Looking forward to a chance of living in overseas, perhaps in future?

Scandals

Deleted photos can come back and haunt you, says Chong

KUALA LUMPUR: Beware! With computer softwares that are able to recover deleted data from handphones and personal computers, pictures or videos that are assumed long gone can still come back to haunt you.

Since 2007, there have been more than 13 cases of women who have had their private pictures publicly flaunted on the Internet or via the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).

“Most of these cases involved women whose former partners exposed the private photos out of spite,” said MCA Public Services and Complaints Department Head Datuk Michael Chong at a press conference yesterday.

He added that most people were unaware that simply deleting the photos from handphones were insufficient as there were ways to extract the deleted data.

Selangor and Federal Territory Telecommunication Association acting committee member Ivan Er said free, easy-to-use data restoration programmes were easily available on the Internet.

“With just a mere click of the mouse, all deleted data can be restored,” said Er, adding that users should reformat and demagnitise their storage mediums after data deletion as a precaution.

Er also warned that servers of communication service providers could keep records of video calls as there was no stopping rogue employees.

“The privacy policies of these telco companies disallow it, of course,” he said.

The association aims to educate users on the latest frauds and hazards of the telecommunication in­­dustry.

quoted from The Star, Tuesday February 14, 2009.

So there's no way to avoid scandal cases like Edison Chan & Elizabeth Wong. Bear in mind that, don't record while you are having affairs. Lol.

TMNUTs / Screamyx

I was browsing through forums hope to get a temporary solution for my crappy internet. Was expecting to see something like ipconfig /flushdns. However, I saw one post which I'm particularly agree with. It sounds like this :

I've complaint to them many times (twice a month average) and below is 100% what they will reply :

1) Check telephone line quality -I'm sure my dog did not bite it
2) Bypass splitter/micro filter/fax machine/lightning protector. -I don't have any of those don't blame them.
3) Stand alone connection, from wall socket to modem (No parallel line). -It's a direct connection not more than 1 meter.
4) Flush DNS (Domain Name Server) -with cmd prompt not with water.
5) Switch off the modem, unplug/re-plug all cables, wait for 5 to 10 minutes before switching on the modem. - I will go cook 'indo mee'.
6) Create new dialer and configure DNS (Domain Name Server). -which with HIGH PING & HIGH % packet lost
- (Preferred DNS Server: 202.188.0.133/Alternate DNS Server: 202.188.1.5)
7) Clear Temporary Files, Delete Cookies and Delete Files under Internet Options. -Now they blame this.
8) Clear SSL Certificates (Internet Option).
9) Restore default browser settings. -Means do nothing.
10) Temporarily disable firewall settings. -Welcome virus.
11) Perform Windows scan. -Bill Gates they blame you now.
12) Temporarily disable anti virus software. -welcome too torjan.
13) Disable P2P application. -OMFG I can't even walk you say don't run.
14) Reboot computer and the modem. -check your socket fius also
15) Do a bandwidth test from our website.
16)Format your hard disk.
17)Buy a new PC.

CONCLUSION : they probably mean the broadband problem is cause by you or others, its not from TMNUTs or Screamyx.

The last 2 are ridiculous. I think the author was joking. Lol.

Sony Ericsson Idou 12.1 MP Camera Smart Phone !

Sony Ericsson showcased an upcoming mobile phone by the concept ‘Idou’, which is going to give us a glimpse of what lies ahead for us, and what Sony Ericsson is currently working on. The ‘Idou’ is one of a number of projects that will be launched this year under the umbrella of Entertainment Unlimited.

The ‘Idou’ is a cameraphone with special focus on media. It will feature a 12.1-megapixel camera with auto focus and an array of advanced camera touch features and a xenon flash. I’m guessing the sensor in this phone will the Sony’s new 1/2.5-inch 12.25 megapixel sensor for mobile phones. That would be awesome! The Media menu will now be fully optimized for the 3.5-inch 16:9 widescreen touch screen, and will enable you to tap directly into your favourite movies, TV-series, video clips and tracks.

The phone will be based on what will become the Symbian Foundation operating system, which means that thousands of applications will be available online. PlayNow will be pre-installed, and will allow you to personalize the phone.

The ‘Idou’ will be available during the second half of 2009 - naturally marketed by a different product name.

How I wish to have that phone. Surely it will come with a hefty price tag. It will surely have a big clash with iphone.
