I noticed today that Serious Sam 3 is 35.99$ on pre-orders. That's quite cheap for a game that's pretty much certain to be a hit for the fans of the series (like me).

And just as I posted this, it reverted back to normal. Circulate, there's nothing to see here...

Is it just me or is the forum time still on DST instead of the normal Winter time?

Just so you know, he wrote nearly 10 decades. And even if it was a full ten decades, then it would mean that AMD sold computers in 1911, so they would have also sold computer systems by 1914 since they still sell computer parts nowadays. All this, in Lunar's hypothetical world, of course.

Good deal, especially since the hard drive alone will soon be worth that price.

I thought you had fog and rain instead of sunlight on the West Coast, although I may have read wrong. Are there fog panels?

Wow, AMD sold computer systems during World War I. Didn't know.

Here's a question for Paugie, because he's the closest around here to Sumatra. Are people living there color-blind? Because that's the only explanation I have for the color used in Sumatra PDF reader. Great little program, but no one normal can like yellow that much. It's got to be a...

I know someone who has that to heat his home and I've not heard him complain. Supposed to be quite efficient, but anything in my home producing 64dB at 1m would soon be an ex-thing. I hope you have a garage connected to the house where you can put it and build walls of noise-absorbing...

You don't think that there are millions of morons too.

First sentence , two posts above yours. It was a joke. It's no longer a joke when you have to explain it.

Yes, AsRock is the cheapo branding of Asus and the memory sockets are designed to be on each side of the LGA2011 socket. There's nothing wrong there. What's wrong is the chipset fan. The return of the chipset fan ; now I know for sure that God doesn't exist.

Oh well... ;)

Look at this upcoming AsRock board and guess what's so horrible about it. See it? Yes! A freaking fan! I thought they were gone forever but no, some ass decided to put fans again on motherboards! This is Hell. Humanity is doomed.

Absolutely false. My room has two computers taking each less than 150W and it's by far the hottest room of this floor. Temperatures have dropped below the freezing point for several days during the night here and I've never had to start the electric heater yet. I also have two other 150W...

You have 8GB RAM sticks?

6099 isn't a big unit. I won't be jealous.

Dan Shearer is now the equal of Tea : both sent 3019 work units so far. And I haven't received a big unit in about a week (I completed my last one five days ago). Both LiamC and SSDdrueding have sent one during the last two days. Why not me! The server change, at Stanford, was supposed to...

Did you at least send him off road, then stopped and gave him the beating of his life? Did you use a bat, a shovel or an axe? Nah, you're more of a golf club type I bet. Do you think some tourist passing by will put it on Youtube?

Anyone used that enclosure? I've seen positive and negative comments about it. I'd like to use it eventually to put one of my X58 motherboards (Asus Sabertooth X58 ). I have a tower heatsink that I plan to use (re-use in fact, because it was assembled many months ago before I sold the CPU) on...

Shave?

It's true that the interior looks like a cheap Chrysler car from the nineties. I used to drive a Plymouth Colt (ok, that really was a Mitsubishi) and it looked pretty much like this, minus the LCD.

I'm pretty sure I can shutdown, install 4 RAM stick and restart a computer in 3 minutes or less. That's not a significant downtime. Which Prolimatech are you eyeing? The old but very decent Megahalems is still sold at a few places, but it's becoming rarer and rarer. The new SuperMega beats...

Do you have height limitations for the heatsinks? The retail heatsink that comes with the i7 2600K is particularly inadequate if you value quiet operation. I never thought it would allow an OC to 4.6GHz. Even 30$ heatsink towers would do miracles here. Your CPU temperatures would drop by at...

What's agressing me isn't the plastic dash, it's the auto trans on a sport car. An auto trans on a GT-R, really?

You only focused on the part where I asked if your wife was dirty, did you?

Well that's what I wrote many post above.

It's pretty obvious that Handruin wins the cake here. Fushigi and Gary take care of a lot of data, but I don't think they approach what Doug and his team take care of. On a personal-data-only level, Merc sure his the sickess of us.

I'd like one of those f**kers to try that on me. It wouldn't believe how painful the retribution would be. We train with mooses here, so a puny antilope, pssf!

Or you could just build her a dual core i3 2100 and let her continue opening 20+ pictures at the time. When she'll complain about the speed, just tell her : "See darling, the problem wasn't the PC, it was you". You haven't been married for that long and you''re not old enough to have a...

Upgrading from a C2D 7200 to a dual-core i3 2100 (or i3 two thousand anything for that matter) isn't worth the investment of a new PC IMO. Go quad core or up. Lots of RAM too. That 16GB you mention? Good idea. Especially since RAM is so cheap right now. Opt for DDR3 1600MHz because the...

So he did beat me afterall. The worst part is that i don't think he improved his hardware at all. He simply uses the beta client (version 7) for the GPU folding client. That must be the reason why he went from ~48K ppd to ~60K ppd. He still has his aging Oc'ed Q6600 with two GTX 460 and his...

In that list, I've only worked with the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP. It was on a Wintel machine and it didn't explose when I printed a page.

Source Like Hitachi did before with their 7K1000.D drive, Seagate will put 1TB-platters in their 7200rpm drives, but unlike Hitachi, they won't limit the capacity to 1TB. Up to 3TB for now, with 4TB planned soon. Drives will be available in two weeks. However, they will cut the warranty of...

Why don't you manufacture the enclosure from emachines.com? If it works for SSDdrueding's prototype, it will work for JTR's light box.

Was it a suggestion for me or a statement about your folding@home farm? I suspect the latter.

Damnit! I'm only 2650 points ahead of Mark for the month and I have no other big units coming in before midnight. He'll have at least another 20K points before the end of the day, maybe even up to 40K. I think I'll lose the month. If it hadn't been of the big unit shortage of the last three...

How can you have snow on the East Coast while I don't? I'm 500Km North of you and I have yet to see a snow flake. This is unfair.

For now, only the 7K1000.D uses the 1TB platter and there's only one platter per drive. As Mooner wrote, the 7K3000 family uses lesser density platters.

Is that a trick question? Do you think there's even a remote chance that anyone answers "yes"? A fifty feet loop for water-cooling my computer? Sure, I do that three times a year! I think you would need a custom pump because I doubt the pump included in most retail kits will be powerful...

Actually, two i7 980-based systems with the CPU working at 100% would produce more than 300W of heat, maybe up to 400W. I already have floor heaters in all my rooms. I would only like to use the computers instead of the floor heaters to heat the rooms. I already do it in my bedroom. I know...

A computer is like a heater with fans and some lighting. In an average computer, at least in an average computer I build, there's 4 fans (PSU, CPU, GPU and enclosure). Put them at 2W each (and it's often less than that), you waste 8W to rotate the fans. The HD LED and Power LED need maybe 1...

In a real environment, the 500VMs wouldn't be identical. The customers would use them differently and would tax them in different ways. Is it possible for you to copy real, in-use, VM from customers' backups? Have you deployed Win2008 core in VM used by your customers?

I have two unused X58 boards here. I need additional heating for the winter and I need to put Mark in check for the FAH race. I already have two 6GB kits of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM (no need for more). I have enough hard drives and DVD burners to build two more machines. I even have the heatsink...

I think that I read somewhere that the production should resume in January. It might be longer than that before we receive drives in normal quantities.

I have my two, still unopened, Hibachi 0F12115 (7K3000 2TB). I've not been able to get the 1TB-per-platter I wanted, but at least for now, I'm ok. I've been able to buy an additional 500GB drive for less than 50$ yesterday so maybe I'll make it untill the end of the month without shortage. I...

Ha! I have 23600$, I beat you.

There's no place to put the pump/radiator inside a 2U enclosure. There's no hole to pass the cables from inside to outside the enclosure to operate the pump/radiator externally. I'm not aware of any water-cooling solution for the LGA771.
