davjak Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 I have a mate who has pretty much the same machine as myself. It bugs the hell out of me when I go there because it runs 10x slower than my machine. I eventually decided that I'd go over and have a looksie around. I pull off the case and what do I find. A rather large spider living in it with a nice big web. Secondly I cant make out any part due to the layers of dust. Ok not a problem. I clean that away. I look about as you do, about to put in a 420mb hdd that I had laying about in an old 286 and I find there is already a hdd in it not connected. I plug it in. Works fine. Right now I'm slight amused by the whole situation. A friend from a few years ago (self proclaimed computer expert) built this machine. I cleaned up the heatsink and fan only to then notice my mates got a 233 underclocked to a 200. Very amusing afteroon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davjak Posted July 17, 2001 Author Share Posted July 17, 2001 Oh. my mistake. The person who built the machine is not the owner of it. The 'expert' built this for my friendm and well my friend thinks you turn it on/off .. thats it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted July 17, 2001 Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2001 A rather large spider living in it with a nice big web. He's the expert as he claimed. That is soooo not something easy to do :D I cleaned up the heatsink and fan only to then notice my mates got a 233 underclocked to a 200. Maybe things get a lil too fast :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
