I know that - my latest i7 had the same door stop job for over a half year  ;D ;D

Nice start besides.
I think you don't really need the planet. The castle and the vehicle make the picture charming. Courious, where this goes.

Maybe I missed the explanation in another post, but why is it a doorstop?

No problem!  8)

With 10 engineers, 2 carpenters, a local transport company and some top quality packaging I could reconstruct the situation for you:

;) ;D



PS: sorry - though I tried hard, I couldn't render this scene in TG because I am just too bad in rendering fingerprints on a dusty old box...

PPS: ok that was a lie - i never tried...

;D ;D

It wouldn't work as the drivers for the vid card were dated 4/19/2011 and it crashed at the drop of a hat, also for some reason it was trying to  update to 10 as I guess because it thought the Corsair was the dell which got win 10 pro already. Couldn't find 2 files and crashed the system...had to hit the reset in the morning but it's been running fine all day now. Will set up an over nighter and see if it does that again as my pal came in via Team Viewer and updated the card.

Uuups... sorry. I think I totally missunderstood. In that case I think my joke wasn't sooo funny.  ???
Good luck with the over nighter - I hope it works!

 Wow, Bobby, I didn't realize you had that much going on with that machine. I know how frustrating the damn things can be sometimes. Hope you can get it buttoned up and back to rendering again.

Up and running...survived an over nighter...woo hoo...It was the internet connection as it wasn't supposed to be connected and was only so for Team View and the driver update...it's now free from the net.
