Just a minor update on the portfolio added a few new pieces to it. If your interested check out my Overclocking guide on limecandy.uuuq.com.

Building a Mineral Oil Cooled PC:
I personally thought that this video shows a very innovative way to cooling your pc. Even though the system may not be very effective as of now; with a little input from manufacturers this could be a viable cooling solution of the future.
A few months back i got myself an E5200 Wolfdale processor to replace my E2160 Conroe. The major difference between the two is that the E5200 is made with a smaller manufacturing process of 45nm compared to 65nm on the E2160. Thus, the E5200 needs less voltage to work and has higher overclocking potential as it tends to run cooler than a processor built with the 65nm process. Another difference is the higher default clock speed of 2.5Ghz on the E5200 compared to the E2160's 1.8Ghz default clock. The E5200 also features a larger 2MB L2 Cache.
I managed to get to a phenomenol result of 4.0Ghz overclock on this processor after a motherboard change and several reseatings of heatsink and fan (OCZ Vendetta). This is an 60% overclock that was achieved through using a very high voltage of 1.475V (as shown in windows CPU-Z). This high a voltage is definetely NOT safe for 24/7 usage so i am using a more modest clock speed of 3.65Ghz as my 24/7 Overclock with only 1.36V of VCore voltage on the CPU. Overall i am quite happy with these figures though it does not quite live up to its big brothers E7x00 and E8x00 Series in terms of overclocking (and also performance wise due to a smaller cache and lower default FSB speed). I would reccomend this processor to anyone looking for a cheap processor under 100� that will give you a lot of performance.
I have a channel on youtube where you can follow my overclocking ventures in more detail than expressed on this website. My account name is overclockerfx; heres a link to my channel: youtube channel link. Also please leave some comments on how to better this site. I have been thinking of creating forums etc. for the site, but this site could really use some publicity as there are not that many visitors.
I'm also going to start selecting a youtube video weekly as the best youtube video.

I have added some new photoshop works to the portfolio. I also added some adds to the right column to help make the content of this site better through the possible gained income from these ad's. On the other hand, i'm going to start making some blog entries onto the site about different technological advancements and other interesting stuff.

Ok, so here it is lime.des the new website. This website is mainly focused at design, but i will also add some content about my overclocking ventures and also about computer hardware hardware. Who knows maybe ill add some other content :D. At least I am very happy with the new design so I hope you like it.
