hemmy i see what you're saying i mean unlike when you buy a ford F-150 i guess when you buy a BMW you can't just jack it up and bore out the cylinders and put a 9" ford rear end on that sumbitch and slap some badass headers and a couple of flowmasters to really make that sumbitch growl and then top it off with a calvin pissing on a Chevy logo window sticker or whatever it takes to make it better. i just like the car as-is. different strokes for different folks though.

I think hemmy is more a glasspacks kind of guy.

Who keeps a computer for 4 years? Woof.

My iMac is going to be 7 years old this November.

That's what you get for not building your own. Limited upgrade opportunity. Or in the case of an iMac, no upgrade opportunity.

i think hemmy missed Super PurpleCat's point

I completely understand it. What I am saying is that it is much better to upgrade yearly so you are always on the most bleeding edge hardware.

well, bleeding edge hardware is important, there's no disputing this factoid.

I knew 'clams would see it my way. I can only imagine the setup you've got. Probably water cooled the daily rig, with liquid nitrogen for the overclocking machine.

Windows 8 rough ridin' blows. This computer rough ridin' blows. My speakers don't want to rough ridin' work. This computer is going to be dropped 2 stories. Then promptly thrown very hard in the dumpster.

Then buy new speakers.

probably should go in stud thing thread too, but best buy is having a sale on external storage drives right now apparently. just got a $100 64GB flash drive for $25, there was another one for $20 but it wasn't usb 3.0

The Big Train · « **Reply #115 on:** January 08, 2015, 08:52:22 PM »

so i removed my sata hdd from my dead imac and then put the imac back together (i know, right?). i'm going to put the hdd into an enclosure so i can hook it up to my mb pro.

my mb pro has 2 thunderbolt and 2 usb 3.0 ports, but i'm assuming that the 7200 rpm hdd transfer speeds won't be fast enough to exceed the usb 3.0, right?

any recommendos on external hdd enclosures?

Maybe I'm not the one to tell you about computers, since previous posts you have expressed your extreme computer savvy.

REGARDLESS. The hard drive RPM have nothing to do with the transfer speeds, its a difference between local and network speeds, but I digress.

The only issue when it comes to enclosures is if the imac(depending on the model) is a 2.5" or 3.5" HD size.

rereading this thread, I am on the same computer that started this thread 3 years ago. was living with ShellShock at the time.

Man, what 3 years can do to a person, mind, ego etc

pissclams · « **Reply #119 on:** May 04, 2016, 10:28:07 PM »

it's a 3.5" and i've never used an external hdd dock before.

i had just quoted your post for an 'zon link. really, there isnt a difference between drive enclosures, i mean you already have the drive(house), its just the kind of house(enclosure) you want it to live in.

based upon the reviews, some are more reliable than other but we will see

Real question for the computer nerds here: I run a piece of technical software (acoustic measurements) on an old mini-pc that runs on Windows XP. The software/hardware manufacturer is not upgrading the software or hardware. It is where it is. As you know, XP is no longer supported.

Can I keep the mini-pc from trying to update automatically by disabling the Wifi and just operate in "1950's Windows XP" technology indefinitely? Seems to be working so far.

Have I invented time travel?
