    My NEW HTPC"E" EVOLVED Case



    People that buy OEM systems think Linux was a Charlie Brown character, a registry is something you see at target to buy shower gifts, RAM is a Dodge truck and a hard drive is DC at rush hour.

    Thanks

    I was rocking to some M.A.M.E. and other emulators this morning with my son I also got the other 8 gigs of ram in today. This should be interesting.

    Sweet jeebus what are you doing with all that mem? I was thinking about running some VMs to load up my 6GB lol
    Beer drinking is like finger painting. When you are young, you do not care what you stick your fingers into as long as you got to do it. When you are older, eww Heineken? I really want a beer that comes from the factory skunked?

    Memory is quieter than a HDD, having too much will also help the HDD spin down (hopfully saving power). I also have a 8 Gig Patriot USB flash drive in a USB 3.0 Slot.

    My CPU temp is 2º cooler and I assume this is from the controllers not running (Chipset) and HDD being cooler but I still have a bit of testing to do.
