Inside a Hi-Grade 8615.

Hello all. Today i will show you the inside of a Hi-Grade 8615 and explain what each component is. For higher resolution pictures click the links under the pictures. So first up is a overall view of it with the back access panel removed.

From Hi-grade

Here we have the hard drive in the upper right corner, The fan in the upper left corner, On the far right bottom corner is where the wireless network card would go if i had one, which i don't. Next to that just to the left is where the RAM goes. I do have some of that. Finally at the far left bottom corner is where the CPU is located. You can just see it under the heat sink.(Which is the orange piece of metal that goes from the top of the CPU to the the very top of the picture just infront of the fan.) Lastly right next to the CPU to the right is the graphics chip or more precisely the heat sink on top of the graphics chip. (The silver rectangle.)

Next up is a close up of the left section.

Here you can see this section in more detail. Next is a close up of the right section.

Here is a close up of the CPU. and that's it. Hope you found this interesting. The next computer we'll be inside of will be a IBM R40e. Till next time.

Short bit of new.

Hello all. For starters i've added this blog to mylot. My profile page here: myLot User Profile. Next i've updated a few things on my website apesstuff. Thats it actually. Till next time.

A few useful websites for starting out using Linux.

Hello all. I thought i would put together a few useful links to help people start out with Linux.. The first place you should go if you are new to linux is the Wikipedia page here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

It has loads of information on Linux. The next website is DistroWatch.com which is a very handy website for finding linux distributions. Its also a great place for keeping up with updates for different distro's. Here's the link:

http://distrowatch.com/

Next is www.kernel.org which is the place to go to get the latest version of the Linux kernel. You can also download a few Linux distro's from there. The link:

http://www.kernel.org/

another useful website is The Linux Documentation Project. It has loads of HOWTOs that can be a lot of help. The link:

http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto

Next up is the forums. Forums are one of the biggest places to find and ask for help. here's a few that i use and find very useful:

http://www.linuxforums.org/

http://www.linuxquestions.org/

http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php

And that all i can think of for now. hopefully you will find these websites useful and that you will choose to try Linux as it is a very good operating system and absolutely free. till next time.

More news and other stuff.

Hello all. I'm currently writing a new website form scratch which will have all the programs and games that i will eventually make on it. It's been hosted by 000webhost.com. This is also a good way for me to learn HTML as well. I'm also trying to get domain names for both my sites so hopefully there'll have there own domain names soon. Thats all for now folks. till next time.

apesstuff news.

I've finally written my first two Linux articles for my website apesstuff. You can find them here: How to install and update packages in Ubuntu. and here: The basics about the Gnome system monitor. Hope you find them useful. Also i've got more of my Lego models on there now which you can foind here: https://sites.google.com/site/apesstuff/my-lego-models

My first ever blog.

Next a bit about myself:

I'm 19 years old, I'm male and as you can see i'm a really big Lego fan.:) I am learning how to program in C++ at the moment. I also do some 3D modelling with gmax and blender.(although less with blender.) I've also been using Linux for nearly two years now.

My Lego models can be found on Brickshelf and MOCpages:
