amazing work :) Make a blog post maybe which can be found out by the greater public outside the community maybe ;) Am happy to see fellow geeks still wakes up to this (will show my gf) ;) 

I recently purchased 2 old desktops for 10 bucks and used the parts to upgrade my linux machine (ram+ hdd) and the rest I used to make interesting projects (PID controller which needed heatsink etc etcc ) to as mundane as a fan for this 36c melting summer lol (Old DELL machines are gold for quality parts and copper heatsinks are a jackpot if you find). I took out the AMD chip and keep it as a shiny reminder of what technology is lol..enough of geek talk over coffee. Enjoy :)

I never update bios unless I can't avoid it,. if it ain't broke mantra :)

I did get roped in to 'help fix' someones computer the other day,. they had problems downloading files from a device across USB on win10,. foolishly I suggested uninstalling some of the USB drivers in device manager,. after that none of the USB ports work and they didn't have a non-USB keyboard or mouse,. opps now I'm on the hook

luckily after some head scratching realised the USB keyboard did work enough to get into the bios,. after that win10 did recognise the keyboard and other USB,. and no it didn't fix the initial problem but at least it wasn't any worse :)

Not bad, piggy. Has been quite some time since I have played around with my old TPs but I really liked all the details in the HMM.  :D
