Pest control

I have this ISS (previously Godrej) pest control for cockroach and other home crawlers, which is working good for me, and I plan to do it my way starting next year.

If you too are the doing-it-urself kinds, try taking "Bayer" company products work wonders; but you need to understand and apply appropriate treatment and this link should help you:

Upgrading my PC -2 (Under the hood)

I pull out the screwdriver, unscrew the cabinet cover... "Let's see what in there" I said to myself.

Well, what I saw at my first site was *dust*, talk about maintenance!!! hmmm.. "That explains the fan noise". the cabinet was so crunched... there was no sign of air-circulation. Check out the snap

The processor fan had practically no breathing space, the PSU (Power Supply Unit) was right on its face. "I need to change my cabinet"

Points for upgrade:

1. Good air circulation.

2. Fans should make less noise.

Upgrading my PC - 1 (Where it all began)

It was an early morning of summer, as usual... I was surfing the "world *wild* web" on my decade old PC, around 20 tabs open on my Google's Chrome browser and Farmville Bot, Eclipse IDE and Windows Media Player running in background; the stuttering music made me uneasy, it was playing as if its a live streaming on the internet with a very bad bandwidth.

It had been long and I had been oblivious of my PC configuration. Finger's crossed I right-clicked "My Computer" carefully lead my mouse pointer to click "Properties", *UP* came the "System Properties" window... the configurations read:

Intel(R) Celeron(R) 1.70Ghz, 1.25 GB of RAM

...ummm.. didn't I upgrade the RAM last year... Daaa I added that 1GB :)



It was then I knew it was time I need to *upgrade*.

Here beings my hunt for the ultimate PC that could give me an uninterrupted video-editability, a smooth Photoshoppable and uninterrupted online/music experience...

and it continues to keep its promise later in the day... seems I made a good decision

Hence I did the speed test.. poor results as expected

Test 1:


Test 2: (This one really questioned.. why is it called BroadBand+ at the first place)
