I run my new laptop all night at work just as I did with the old one. I have yet to feel the case or the air coming from the fan anything but cool. I had to put my ear down at the exhaust just to see if the fan was even running, it was but real slow.

If you sign up for daily alerts for their "Deal of the day" sometimes those will be on sale with a pretty good discount. The Deal of the day is usually 5-6 items discounted for 24 hours, maybe once a month or two I'll see something I can use and snag a good deal, most of the time it's, eh... But worth a minute's look at an email.

I love the k-cup machine for a fast cup of coffee but I don't buy the pre-filled cups, I use the thing I put my own coffee in, lot less expensive.

We thought things had calmed down, I may be dropping in now and then for some time depending on what the future holds. At least we got winter behind us, although it did snow again a couple days ago. Lawn needs to be mowed but it keeps raining, April showers.

Get a Dvarw! You've seen the post at FT? Well I Did & it Rocks! I got the V3 DTL version & added the fake Steam-tuners Top Fill Section. It's a fixed Air Flow with inserts to change the Flow, I used the biggest, 4mm insert. It has a nice open DTL draw :) The capacity is Excellent for such a small foot print. It's a basic round wire single coil atty, but it works nice! It's very little $ :) I would recommend this one :)

Steamer861, So I got this for the tank sku: 9654669. But what's

I got a cheaper version $11.46 Dvarw DL V3 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 6ml / 316 stainless steel / 24mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping & the Fake Steam-Tuners Top Fill section is SKU 9688164
I needed to put a thicker O Ring on the base so the JFC wouldn't Jam, no big deal :)

The correct SKU don't work rite :) Here's a link $6.56 Replacement Tank Kit for Dvarw DL V3 RTA Atomizer - 6ml at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

This machine has been running flawlessly for the past 12 years, now has 2 beeps then continuously repeats. Seems to act up when the CPU is running at higher temps. Yeah probably a disassembly and a good cleaning will fix things.
Taken it apart today and 12 years of not cleaning inside, it is clean as a whistle. Only the fan blades had a slight dust film on them. That doesn't account for the overheating and beeping. Maybe the cooling pipes leaked or something. Put it all back together and I replaced the old tired battery and what a difference. Running at 129°F instead of 200°F and no more beeping. That old battery was causing all of that heat.

Got dwcraig1's eBay 1TB WD SSD today and it seems just fine. But I am going to have to figure out how to get around that Windows 10 TMP I've read about. I guess you just can't just clone a drive and put the new one in anymore. :(

BestBuy said they shipped my new laptop on Monday and it will be here today. Yet UPS says a label was created Monday and that is it. This doesn't look good and I have never seen UPS come out here this late anyway. Maybe I shouldn't have saved an extra 75 bucks and ordered an open box one in excellent condition (a new one would have been here yesterday). Maybe in the end they will send me a display model with goo stuck between the keys, without a power adapter, with a shot battery. :facepalm:
