The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

It's been a day of a bit of concern for me, concern for my newest //e. As I reported yesterday the system cooler fan had gone toes up. I resurrected it with a donor fan from an old printer. Well it seems that fan isn't fast enough to do the job and the //e's power supply is running hot. The fan's slow speed is one reason for it but the main contributor is the fact that the power supply is non-vented. It's a sealed box with the exception of a very tiny hole at each top corner. A good friend came up with an idea. Some of you know him. It's David Parks. He suggested I pull the vented power supply from my black Apple and put it in the overheating A2S2128. The heat can escape much more easily and it won't be overheating. In the photo below you can see the A2S2128 opened up and the donor power supply sitting on top. Eventually I'll be able to get the high-speed motor I need for the system saver cooler and rebuild it properly and the computer will be able to run as cool and efficient as it should. So I already know what tomorrows project will be.



Other than that I haven't done much today. I didn't even get the tranny fluid into the vans tranny. I didn't even stick so much as a toenail out the door. Too caught up in other things.

Well it's time to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
