The heat was unbearable for the last few days, so I dropped some money on a portable air conditioner.

After 1 hour there's already a nice improvement in my living room.

Father's day gift from my wife:

And then I also randomly won an auction for an iMac G3 for $60. Only 350mhz version, and possibly only 64MB of RAM, slot loader, and probably no HDD (or at least a dead one), but it appears to boot up so that's nice. Dunno what I'll do with it for sure, I'm half tempted to pull the motherboard out and replace it with a Raspberry Pi using the following: https://github.com/qbancoffee/imac_g3_ivad_board_init < and make it into a Retro PC/console AIO...but ehhh maybe too much work. If I don't end up doing that I'll probably just swap the motherboard for something faster, use it for a week, and then plop it on my shelf next to my Macintosh Plus :lol:

As for server things, got the RAID card and it worked all fine...but the cables they included were for a different Poweredge model, so had to order a new SAS cable for it. Also probably gonna pick up some X5670 CPUs from my cousin to use, while I wait for the x5680's to show up from China.

Wife found a kitten at the side of the road, whose mama was seemingly hit by a car. Named it Ciri, cuz why not.

Also, that iMac I bought for $60 showed up Saturday...in a bunch of fucking pieces. Idiots who packaged it just wrapped it once with bubble wrap, threw some paper into the box, and called that good. Was completely loose in the box, so the entire outer housing was smashed (except for the blue top, it seems), the inner bezel was all cracked, part of the logic board was cracked... Somehow it still boot up (at least to the missing OS screen), but it's just too damaged to do anything with, so asking for a refund :(

...but I won another from a different seller, on eBay this time, for $125. 500mhz, 256mb of RAM, 30GB HDD, and graphite this time. I double checked with the seller and am having him send me pictures of his packaging job before it gets sent out, so hopefully this time it won't show up utterly destroyed.
