My end goal for my "first computer" project: · 11:58pm May 21st, 2017
If you've been keeping up with these blogs for the past year or two, you'd know that I occasionally pull out and work on my oldest and first ever computer.
Why?
Because I get too bored too easily, and I'd like to see the day when I end up bottlenecking the heck out of the system by stuffing a cutting-edge GPU into the case shared by the measly Pentium-133.
I've already got the parts list consisting of various pci-to-pcie adapters, additional RAM, a CPU conversion kit to reach a max. of 500 mhz if the CPU bottleneck proves to be too harsh, and some IDE based SSDs.
Also, if you kick in a (rare) USB-to-pci adapter, and then stack the pci-to-pcie adapter on top, then it's technically possible to make a GPU docking station for laptops that don't have a mpcie slot, expresscard slot, thunderbolt, or any docking station.
TL;DR: Upgrade the crap out of my oldest computer while keeping as many original parts as I can, and maybe build an eGPU docking station for my laptop.
I'm incredibly bored right now and I don't want to do my Piano Theory homework because it's something I've been doing for the past decade of my life. (It's a good thing that I'll either be done with/quit piano lessons by this summer, if you ask me. Also, without the cost of piano lessons my mom hinted that I might be getting an allowance for the first time ever.)
