Had a massive urge for a doze at about 5pm and just woke up at 2am.

Changed the GPU and CPU. Forgot about the stupid CPU cooler back-plate that always falls off. Grr.
Anyway, waiting for my mirrored SATA drives to resynch, then I can copy the data to another drive for backup, break the mirror, and copy the system drive to one of them.
Spent ages getting gunk out of the GPU and CPU coolers, which was a bit sneezy.
I'm not going to bother with the new desktop today as I don't have the USB cables to connect to the keyboard and mouse switch. I can still finish off cannibalising the NVMe drive though.

What a splendid 4:30am shower, only slightly lessened by having to tiptoe around the creaky floorboards to get my new clothes without waking my wife. The cat was calling for cuddles too, which I couldn't really ignore. So Carla briefly woke up and asked what I was doing before falling asleep again before I could answer.
Feeling refreshed and ready to attack the day. Have already prepared a package to be sent to the UK for testing, need to get the Zoe's drum break fixed so we can stop paying an absolute fortune for diesel, and start prepping the second bedroom as my future workshop. The bigger unheated room I initially had pencilled in is just too cold. So, got to transfer all the junk from the second bedroom to the other room, scrub up the walls and get masking tape ready so I can apply a first coat of paint.
@davep Wow, you really fill your days!
Good luck with the new workshop.

Gotta love Windows file copy from disk to disk, merrily swapping between 10 minutes and 10 hours time remaining.

It was 10 minutes, yay!
Onto the always slightly scary OS cloning.

Yay! Case closed. NVMe to SATA clone worked fine. Just a bit slower to boot.

@bazkie Yeah, I guess so. Possibly time for a quick nap first.
More breaking news as it comes in

@davep <checks entire thread> Didn’t you wake up at like 2am today? Go take a nap. Naps are the best. 🥳
