since that thread, I replaced the cpu cooler and exhaust fans with ML140’s. they’re running at 25% most of the time and the system is completely silent from ~ 3 feet.
also added pointless-waste-of-time-and-money lights.
So I see you’re running Gnome. You know, I’m actually on KDE myself… I know this desktop environment is supposed to be better, but you know what they say: Old habits, they die hard.
I just watched the first episode of Season 3 last night and I’m cautiously optimistic about the season. I’m not sure where they’re going with it, as usual, but it’s going to be interesting, that’s for sure.
My issue with KDE is it’s a completely different animal and I don’t really have the time to play with it. (all its settings, oh my!) The good thing is it’s a really solid option. I just wanna take the time to learn it at some point. Might do that over my winter break.
Thanks! I add to it when I find gems. Just got The Hacker Playbook 2, Practical Packet Analysis, and Black Hat Python. Little sad that that last one used Python 2, but it ain’t half bad.
Got around to mounting my third monitor above my main. Making room for an all-in-one. I want a self contained system to run windows on since I use linux on my main machine but still rely on some windows programs.
