That is very neat. I didn't seem them creat a spreadsheet or do any word processing.

Very, very nice Chewy. When I grow up, I want to be like you, and Tannin, and et al. I took a two week hiadous from jogging, but started up again this past week. I can't believe how two weeks off really makes a difference.

Has anybody had experience with a/v stuff from NAD, Adcom or Rotel?

Obviously it is time Tannin goes back out in the bush.

Yes, they are ear level and the couch is roughly 18" from the wall.

My current speakers are similar to the ones you referenced. I mounted them on stands so that they would be a few inches above the back of my sofa and there wouldn't be any damage to my walls. I put them at the outer corners of the sofa and then pointed them in at an angle. The effect is good.

Those Rocket surround speakers would seem to work nice behind the audience if there were perpendicular walls nearby on both sides.

Of course there is always the <cough>nicer</cough> speakers before you hit plasma.

Perhaps using something like this would provide a better surround effect.

If you have decent power in your house, I would recommend the APC BE750BB. If there is a lot of interference on your lines, or constant fluctuations, I would recommend the APC SUA1000 or SUA1500.

Buying a used keyboard is like buying a used toothbrush.

Why would you need so many keyboards in reserve? Because they don't last very long or can only handle a couple years of daily use? If that is the case, what is the point of purchasing used keyboards? How much longer do you expect these used keyboards to last?

Great information guys, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the quick response. What type of setup would be more current?

I have no current plans of purchasing audio equipment, however, I do have some audio equipment questions. While looking at different brands and devices, I've come across a setup using a B&K Reference 50 S2 processor and a B&K Reference 200.7 S2 amp. Any opinions on that equipment?

If everything works and you already have users for the boards, yes it is a decent buy. <rhetorically>What will happen when five of them fail in two weeks?

I just did an installation of Windows Vista Home Premium and it used roughly 20GB of HDD space.

I just cannot see the drive passing through the recertifcation process at Samsung. When the drive arrives, it will be physically inspected (to make sure it hasn't been tampered). Then it will be put in a test chamber with many other drives and tested by proprietary software much is more...

Long live the floppy drive! or until stock runs out

You could always use Intel and go the Crossfire route with ATI! <hides>

How sad.

He may have picked the RC-830 Evo from Cooler Master since it is only one of two daul-8800GTX certified cases. It isn't that bad; he could've picked something from Therm*ltake. :)

An Intel motherboard with SLI support?

Maybe. Drive manufacturers will also use alternate formats if they can't yield prime. So, your new retail purchased WD360ADFD could be using two sides of one platter with a different format than a prime WD740ADFD single platter variety.

Thanks for the reply Bozo. My earliest non-test installation will also be after SP1.

I have installed Windows Vista Home Premium Edition on a system with an Intel Q965GF board, 2GB of RAM, E6600 CPU, ATI X1800XL GPU, WD2500JS HDD, LG GSA-4120BK DVD, Antec Solo case, Zalman ZM600-HP PSU, and Zalman CNPS9700 cooler. The installation was trouble free, as was the installation of...

I'll stick with the Solo, NSK4400, and SLK1650. The Zalman PSUs I tried seem to work very well and fit nicely in the aforementioned cases when necessary.

Wow! That's fantastic!

Yes, the new WD740ADFD is based on the WD1500ADFD, the WD740GD is not.

January 1, 2007 10:35 am - 11:05 am PST Downloading the image, I peaked at 89KB/s and quickly dropped to 62KB/s for most of the download. At the very end, it hit 66KB/s. As a test, I uploaded the image to hlmcompany.com. My FTP upload speed was 34-35KB/s. Then, my download from...

June looks like a computer animation.

Yup, that happens. My most recent purchase was an Italian leather sofa for my den. They were out of stock, so I had to wait two months before mine arrived from Italy. At least the price was right. :)

Pictures!

During spinup, the WD800JB peaks at roughly 1.43A for the 12V line and peaks at roughly 350mA for the 5V line. It is also possible that one of the new system components is faulty.

When you under-clocked the card, did you lower voltage or just change the GPU frequency?

. . . well I'll be a suck-egged-mule; that's cheaper than a redneck at Walm@rt. I've purchased beer that cost more than that CPU.

I forgot to mention, this also includes consignment shops. Older furniture, such as sofas, are typically better constructed. Buying an old couch because of it's build quality and then putting on new upholstery might do the trick. My most recent sofa is a leather loveseat for my office from...

Buy what you like and feel comfortable with; this has taken from IKEA to Sears, Pottery Barn to Macy's. If I like it and it fits the need particularly well, I'll probably buy it.

The Zalman ZM360B-APS is $99.00! Wow! Then I would go with the Antec. Although I know someone who has the ZM360B-APS for far less than $99.00 <cough>

I'm still very happy with my Beyerdynamic DT831. Maybe this thread will help: http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2213

You're welcome. I'm glad you appreciate the help and your task is over.

The Antec NeoHE is a very nice PSU. If less wattage is acceptable, as would seem for your system, the Zalman ZM360B-APS is a very nice option.

I purchased some new computer hardware to play around with. I like the Executive Series Intel mATX boards with the Q965GF chipset. I've tried an Antec NSK1300 case - tight, but it works fine with one hard drive. I tried out a Zalman ZM360B-APS and ZM600-HP power supply. They are very nice -...

I've been listening to the Buena Vista Social Club, Omara Portuondo, and Ibrahim Ferrer -- beautiful Cuban music.

Samosas, perogies, pakoras, onion bhajis, onion rings, chips . . .

Of course.

Yum. Dark chocolate and Scotch. So, Merc man, what will you do with this feline?

Exactly. Speakers, wireless/optical keyboard/mouse and extra memory make a world of difference for a home/office machine. I haven't had any problems with Microsoft wireless peripherals. The speakers that come with LCDs are terrible. Home/office users like to listen to music, sometimes pretty...

Looking at some of the Socket 754 hardware available to me, I could see assembling a system like this for less: CPU: SDA3000BXBOX* MB: GA-K8N51GMF-RH RAM: KVR400X64C3A/1G CASE: Antec NSK4400/380WPSU FDD: D359M3BLACK HDD: WD800JD DVD: Pioneer DVR-111DBK MONITOR: Aopen F2905 19" LCD KEY/MOUSE...

Thanks Dave. The FDD is helpful for some diagnostic tools I use. I've also come across some older applications for the Page Layout industry that install only with the accompanying installation diskette and CD. Pretty quirky, but they exist. I've used a USB FDD in situations where an internal...
