Been Mia For A Few Weeks

WOW back online again been a few weeks off the forum, likely much as zipped by but had a dead desktop easter weekend and using my Surface is a PITA for long times on the net/forums etc, so didnt bother, also work horrendiously busy! have some guests from Denmark next week, hope they bring Carlsberg and Bacon!

Working on 2 new medical papers as well as just managed to setup a new clinic room to basically see more patients with ARMD and Diabetes, you'd think it would be easy no beancounters do not know what we are working for...

New desktop arrived and installed spare data SSD/HDDs in it and starting the long process on setup and installing stuff. This time I decided to spec parts and have someone build and SCAN 3XS systems are very good, normally buy my parts from them when building myself but thought give them a go as I know it would have caused me stress building myself. I have to say its a awesome build cable managment is superb, the quietness of it is brill, just about hear it at all.

Specs
Intel i7 7700 @ 4.2ghz
ASUS H270 Prime Pro
16GB Ram DR4 2133
GeForce GTX 1050Ti (still undecided on GPU yet)
Samsung 850 SSD main drive
Termaltake Supressor F31 Case
Corsair 850w PSU

from old desktop
1x1TB WD Green HDD
1x2TB WD Green HDD
1x250GB Samsung 850 SSD
1x128GB OCZ Vertex 4 SSD

Total drive space is 3.6TB (2.2TB free so far)

Well back to installing stuff....

 

That's no fun! With 7 computers, 2 tablets and now a smartphone, there is always a way to get on the web! (I think I have an addiction. )
My router went down in March and it was a pain only being able to connect 1 computer directly to the modem. After about a week of this while waiting for the router to come, I said to my husband, "I need to get a smartphone so I can get on the internet". At least now if anything happens to the network, we can get on the internet.

 

Yeah I have a Surface and Win10 Phone thats OK for internet and been using them but dont for forums as prefer a proper keyboard for typing.
I'm with you on addition, as it pained me to be without a desktop, just finished syncing the music HDD upto Groove, OMG didnt know I had that much its just sunc'd 10k tracks now on next 10k, it may end this weekend!

The main pain is linking up paths to apps and data that are not on C drive, like design stuff, fonts, music, pictures etc

Still need to remember two password to email addresses and one is my majorgeeks email, so if I dont reply to any of you, you'll know why )

 

Hey Joffa cheers
Was thinking that but though lets see what 16GB does for me at present. Remembering passwords and licence keys is a nightmare, had to request 4 so far, going to love Adobe apps when I get to installing them!

Yeah mmmmm BACON!

 

I know I'm normally good with passwords (too bloody many of them these days) as I use latin weirdly as part of them so just takes me a bit to remember the different websites and apps I associated them with, indeed I should do the same in encrypted excel sheet.

I'm likely to change the swap file as I did last time to a small 120GB SSD drive as that seemed quick enough if needed, but will as you mention keep eye on ot to see if doubling RAM is a winner, likely is TBH.

 

I like your approach to passwords, indeed the weird and different is the way to go like latin or phrases out of books like electronics, I know some folk use lyrics from songs and intersperced with charachers like £ 3 * etc

I'm getting there with rebuilding PC, nearly all software installed now that I use, just one SSD to erase as use as a data drive, was old OS drive in previous PC, checked and all data saved and all apps checked, so at least another 250GB of data space. Samsung 850s are just superb drives.
