A couple of days ago I finally rebuilt the old computer. Haven't booted it up yet. To do so means I have to use the monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc from the current computer.
I also have to transfer a lot of files from the current computer to the old one, download various programs and install them, install who knows how many updates... It's going to be a long process.
I am crossing my fingers that the processor works. I know the motherboard went out but don't know if it took the processor with it. If I have to replace that, I think I'll get a second hand processor. Basically it has to be, since the slot type is outdated for newer processors.
If it all works as hoped, I will have a new motherboard, new power supply, 4GB video card, 16 GB RAM which I plan on upgrading to 32 and a 6 core processor. All of that should work for the video processing.
I had technical issues because I thought I had the wrong power supply. Turns out two cables can be split, one for the CPU and one for the video card. Never seen that before. Then again, I usually use a full ATX board and this one is a mini ATX. Has all I need on it, just smaller.
I met a woman a few days ago that I like a lot. She seems to like me as well, so I am having some hopes. Very attractive and intelligent. She is a capitalist. Chances are we may have some strong debates on that subject but I think I am likely to change her mind over time. Have to wait and see how it goes. Right now she is isolating because a coworker recently came up positive for the virus.
