13 years of my old PC parts rolling downhill to the kid. Sempron, Athlon, Phenom, an FX-4350 and Intel gpu that bit me in the hind end. Finally ended it with a $55 Xeon off AliExpress that probably led a previous life in a data center. youtu.be/-PZRBXaMUg4

I've never reballed a chip. I don't have a stencil. I don't have a heater to do this properly. But I need to re-468-ball this Intel 440BX northbridge, so come point and laugh as I struggle Wednesday at 3:00 EDT. youtube.com/live/7jRdGk2...

Had an omg moment earlier today when I realized I was by the Champaign urbana campus. Did some searches and found myself checking out some historical displays in the comp sci building lobby! I've always been super interested in the PLATO system and other neat things that grew out of this campus.
