    CPUmodder reacted to LinusTech in @LinusTech Twitter Account Hacked   
    On June 28, 2016 the Linus Media Group domain registrar account was compromised.
     
    The exact methodology of the "hack" won't be disclosed for obvious reasons, but I can assure you that despite any claims to the contrary, the appropriate safeguards were in place on our side, and as I type this Yvonne is having a very heated phone discussion with the 3rd party responsible for the breach.
     
    Anyway, the thing most of you are probably wondering about right now is what this means for your forum account or personal information, and the answer is very simple:
     
    NOTHING.
     
    The "hacker" simply changed the DNS settings in the dashboard and did not at any time have access to the linustechtips.com server. Any claims of a database dump are categorically false.
     
    The compromised accounts - including Twitter - have been restored.
     
    I hope this clears things up.

    CPUmodder reacted to SuperShermanTanker in The Custom Dell   
    So earlier this year I bought a little Dell Vostro 200 desktop from a friend for $5 and when I got it it had a 1.8ghz Pentium Dual Core and 2gb of ram with the dell motherboard and 300watt AcBell power supply. It had no GPU or HDD and the CPU Cooler fan was busted.
     
    The Repair: So I took a 200gb hard drive I had laying arround shoved it in and a spare Nvidia Geforce 210 graphics card I had and shoved that in too. I also ordered a Arctic Cooling Apline 11 Pro CPU Cooler to replace the broken one in the computer. When I got the CPU Cooler USPS damaged it in shipping and the fan grille was broken so I got a full refund from USPS and the fan still worked and the metal was still fine on the CPU Cooler so I just shoved it in anyway and boom still works months later.
     


     
    1st Configuration I used it in
    1.8 ghz Pentium dual core
    2gb of DDR2 RAM
    200gb Hard Drive
    Nvidia Geforce 210 GPU
    Zorin OS Linux
    Mouse: $1 mouse that was a christmas gift
    Keyboard: HP keyboard that I found in a junk bin in the basement
    Monitor: 2 inch thick 4:3 1024x768 Dell monitor from 2003 that I got given to me for free from a family friend
     

     
    First Upgrade:
    So the friend I got the computer from built his new computer and he had some old parts from his old computer laying arround so he gave me the two 2gb sticks of RAM and a 2.2ghz Core 2 Duo from his old desktop. I got a hold of the windows 7 key that was used on the Dell Vostro 200 desktop before I bought it from my friend.
     
    So with the new parts I installed the new CPU and the motherboard had a total of 4 slots for ram so I just added the two 2gb sticks in there to add on to the existing two 1gb sitcks. I also managed to find a Nvidia Geforce GT 720 in my room lying arround collecting dust so I upgraded the GPU in the Dell too
     
    2nd Configuration I Used The Computer In:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2ghz
    6gb of DDR2 RAM
    200gb Hard Drive
    Nvidia Geforce GT 720 GPU
    Windows 7 PRO 64 bit
    Mouse: Dell mouse that I found in the recycleing bin at school
    Keyboard: HP keyboard
    Monitor: 2 inch thick 4:3 1024x768 Dell monitor from 2003
     
    Second Upgrade:
    I recently got a 3ghz Intel Core 2 Duo for the desktop it came with a motherboard I ordered for a different machine
     
    Current Configuration:
    2nd Configuration I Used The Computer In:
    Intel Core 2 Duo 3ghz
    6gb of DDR2 RAM
    200gb Hard Drive
    Nvidia Geforce GT 720 GPU
    Windows 7 PRO 64 bit
    Mouse:  Dell mouse
    Keyboard: HP keyboard
    Monitor: 2 inch thick 4:3 1024x768 Dell monitor from 2003


     
     
    Future Upgrades: I have just ordered a inexpensive mouse from amazon to use with the desktop to replace the worn out Dell one that I found in the recycleing bin at school: http://www.amazon.com/Perman-Portable-Wireless-Optical-Receiver/dp/B019Z744EQ/
     
    If anyone has any suggestions for future upgrades to this machine I use this machine mainly to browse the web and play minecraft as this desktop is only a secondary machine thats in a easy and convinient location.

    I like the monotonic background versus the brightly colored balls. The sticks and stuff at the upper area are kind of distracting though. I wonder if you could have framed it to include only the three balls at the front. Overall I'd say 6/10.

    From Molex look for the Mini fit jr 5556 series, there's a range of finishes and compatible wire sizes, other companies will have different names for the range like I'd hazard a guess that TE Connectivity would have a AMPMODU something rather equivalent.

    They are called terminals, the individual pins. You can buy a pack of 20-50 in bulk only, as the margin for profit is so small, since literally each "terminal" or pin, costs about a penny to make. Seriously.
