Hopefully the heat issue at the rectory is a minor one. Speaking of TB, I'm no TB when it comes to computers but I'm sitting on my desktop that I finally got around to fixing. I have an older Dell Optiplex (workhorse) that I am happy with. I looked at upgrading and it would be around $700. No thanks. This one has its quirks, but I get by. The video card went out about 2 weeks ago. No problem, you can buy a good used video card on ebay for $8 shipped. That came in a while back and I put it in...computer wouldn't boot up. Great. Sometimes that happens with a new component and could mean it's not compatible (or bad). I took it out, still wouldn't boot. Diagnosed that as a bad power supply unit. Since these computers are so old and plentiful, I was able to get a used PSU for $15 shipped off ebay. That arrived last week but I didn't have time to swap it. Finally got it in this morning and everything is playing nicely together. Back in business for about $23. Tommy would be proud of that number. I will hopefully meet up to sell a few tools this afternoon. I've really been buying and selling a lot recently. Hope everyone has a great day! |
