My old ATI Radeon HD4850 graphics card goes up to 109 deg. C.   Keeps the house warm.

Intel calls it good up to 105deg.

I have been experimenting with putting some whiskey rocks on the top of the chassis, seems to work pretty well as a heatsink.

The real solution however might be to upgrade the network card on this and use Steam streaming from one of the other PCs.

Might be. Not really sure, never watched Game of Thrones.

The second part of your post has me intrigued however.

Updating my insurance policy for the move and my car will be dropping $400/year. Was $1600, will be $1200 and it also went from pleasure only (we didn't drive to work) to the Mrs driving to work. Another reason we are happy to leave Toronto.

That's because it's blending with the day-old soup.

Try looking in the basement of a 4700 sq ft house that you've been in for 30 years. I've got stuff down there still in the moving boxes from 1985!  ;D

Best of luck!  I helped with my Grandma's house this (I guess its last now) fall and know exactly how you feel. Even though she didn't collect anything there still is a tonne of stuff to deal with. Can't imagine what its like for people that don't throw anything out.

Exactly. I want to make a New Year's resolution to not acquire stuff if we don't need it.

I think you missed a few things.   :rofl2:   When is your official moving day?  I do feel your pain - did that in June.  Can't stand that type of chaos.  :shake:
