Hi Folks.

Needed a break from listing items, so I have decided to start putting parts together ready for when I next turn of my computer.

Which will also tidy up my computer desk, once again.

 

Right this little M.2 Expansion Card is hopefully gonna go together today.
And be mated with this 2tb M.2 card. Once this is installed an dworking, All my harddrives will be going up for sale, once I have ripped all the content of them.
If all goes well, I have anice home for this in my computer case
In goe steh back screw for the holding mount for the M.2
Just checking things all line up :) :)
Bummer there is a small screw missing ??? - Time to go on the hunt..
Found one, but would you credit it, the dam head is too small to hold the M2 in place :( :(
Luckily I find another screw and the M2 stick is nicely held in place.
Dam I forgot I have not got the front case mounted yet! and when I looked at teh case, Non of teh 5 1/4" bay covers were there !! Gonna have to go on a hunt me thinks..
Been waiting for this item for ages! But it's here now. This USB 3.0 has 2 jobs to do, Today will be the start of the 1st one...
Remember this is the faulty NEW FireCuda 1tb M.2 unit - That I need windows pc to run the tests Seagate want, if it is faulty they will replace free of charge and the seller refunded me - so it's a freeby :) :)
Timothy's Computer may not have onboard M.2 sockets, but he does have USB 3.0 ports :) :) .jpg
All ready for its 1st job - maybe later or next week.
This sticky tab will come in handy when its ready for it's last job...
Replacement CPU finally arrives after a 4 week wait !.jpg
Right CPU change time...
Off comes the heat sink and fan
Time to come out !
What a mess !! out comes the paint brush
Th eCPU is in need of a good wipe down
That looks better - now ready to be listed
In goe steh replacement CPU - Hope it's worth the wait
Just enough cooling paste left to cover the mating surface.
Now in bin - Need to order another one.
Now to try and find out why the front panel head phones is not working, everything's as it should be ! - so I plug in my head phones into the back and nothing ?? Confused
Time to put the cards backin and fire the computer up - god it is fast !
