The difference betwixt Heather and I as viewed through computer placement...
I moved my computer. Eventually I'll move it some place else. I need to build it a home. A little nest. Someplace where it can whirr to itself happily away from my microphones. The nest I built it was slightly too small and slightly too far away. Lloyds measure. Hinkals tend to guess and eyeball. This is PROBABLY a job for a Lloyd... but I'm a Hinkal.
There's ABSOLUTELY a temptation to feel the case is the problem, and the nest the solution, and to pull all of my computer's innards out of their case and just nail them to the inside of their nest (Lloyds use screws, Hinkals use nails) thusly increasing accessibility AND airflow... but the main purpose of the case is to keep the cat from attacking the enticing moving fans inside and ... well... no-one wants to see how THAT pans out.
But I mustn't.
Sigh.
Heather, can I borrow a drill and a tape measure? |
