My desktop boxen are getting on. Over a year ago I started to think
about replacing at least one of them: Twin Dilema. The boxen are
even older now, really feeling the strain and I've still not done
anything about it...
This autumn I ripped the hard-disk out of an old Sky+ box I had, and
put that into my desktop PC. It is faster and larger than the original
drive and as a result has bought some life back into my PC. However
the writing is on the wall and it will need replacing this year.
Since I last thought about this, I have managed to get the gas boiler
replaced and have the ancient windows done. That did cost a fortune,
a lot more than the £1k of a decent desktop, but I will get some
of that back in reduced energy bills. It looks like a ~ 10% reduction
at the moment. If you assume a 10% annual energy inflation that adds
up to a total saving over 30 years of around £16.5k which covers
the cost of the boiler but not the windows and doors.
