Pulled from my Lenovo R61. T7500 cpu & 2x1gb RAM. Just pay shipping. SF members only.

Hey Doug, Check out the dynamic signature thingy I found on the hashfaster website.

Because I originally was only planning on trying this with one card and I wanted to spend around $200 bucks on this little experiment. When I saw my first order would take longer than I wanted I ordered a 2nd card with fast shipping from Amazon instead. Well, turns out the first order could...

Radeon R9 270X + R9 270 (non-X). This is about as good as they will run.

Agreed. The C128 sucked. Guess you missed my sarcasm.

Oh and downloading them on my 14.4 modem!

First one: Commador 128 (piss on you C64 peons) with tape drive and 5.25" floppy. Second one (I consider this my first real computer): Built by a local shop (PC Supply in Rochester, MI): 468DX-2 66 with 8 MB RAM QDI Motherboard Trident video card Western Digital 340MB Hard drive Windows 3.1...

I agree that setting this up is a pain in the arse! But when you finally get it going, it feels rewarding. It really is trial and error and lots of research to get your card going at a good clip. What I've found is that cgminer really is sensitive to gpu memory speed (on my R9 270X). You...

LOL...I typed in a password that is the same length and uses the same quantity of special characters and cases that my normal passwords are and 157 Billion years. Not to shabby. My SF password : 4 seconds !

I plan on trying this on my WHS box. Since it's a file server first, with only a Corsair 80 Plus Bronze 400W PSU, I'm wondering if any of it's 'serving' activity will be affected by the GPU workload. If you notice anything relative to overall system load while you're working on yours please...

What is the CPU load during the GPU mining you are doing and what 'intensity' level are you using?

How long did it take to make a $?

I think you should buy Win8 and use it on one of your newer machines. Take Win7 off your machine and use it on the old computer for your parents. I just finished activating the purchased OEM copy of Win7 that I bought from Newegg years ago (and had previously installed on my desktop) onto...

My vote would be to go with Win7 if you are getting an SSD...for the TRIM support that Win7 has. I'm actually taking Vista Basic off my old laptop and you can use that key if you want. Had a very small footprint and fit very well on a 30GB SSD. It worked fine but I'm upgrading the...

See if you can boot up Parted Magic without it freezing. http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/

Poop! A T9300 would work too if anyone has one. :)

Looking for one of these for my old Lenovo if anyone has one or an old laptop they want to part out: SOCKET P http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/ Not looking to spend much, just tweaking around with my old R61 for a little fun project since I have Middleton's BIOS installed on it.

My Lenovo R61 14" dual core 2gb is about 6-7 years old and I still love it. Just got a new extended battery for it ($35) and will pull out the 30gb OCZ Vertex SSD that's been in it for a long time to replace it with a 64gb SanDisk and Win7 to breath new life into it. Will probably give it...

My Elitebook 8540w from work, i7 16gb, has been great for the past 2+ years. I would recommend it.

The extent of my knowledge on the topic is here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1794019 Of course, sounds too good to be tru, so it probably is.

Funny you're suggesting this Handy.. I was just looking in [H] video card forums yesterday and was going to suggest you guys use your massive compute power to raise money for an actual charity by mining Litecoins! My understanding is the Litecoins are relatively new and as a result not to...

Title says it all, for SF members only. Can be modded without much trouble to work with Socket 1155 (I have a 2nd one I did this with). Great for quiet low pressure cooling. http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=62723

It just blows my mind that you are giving her the opportunity to stay at your place at no cost and she is complaining about...anything! Oh well. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Damn, high maintenance isn't she? If you don't mind me sayin'...that's friggin ridiculous. Just tell her you'll see what you can do and then ignore it. How often does it rain when she's in there that you'll have to hear her complaints?

I used a cheap Chinese knockoff of these for a while and thought they were good: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S10-HD-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B004BHCSQC I think I picked them up on eBay for about $15. It was a year or two ago so probably an older version but the same basic thing. I...

New blood! Welcome!

I use Chrome at work because the only other option is IE8! I've had both at home but use Firefox more just because it was my first 'other' browser and all my bookmarks are already there. Some good comments at the link below. I'm leaning to staying loyal to FF because I think my privacy is...

I do have both... They both seem OK. Wondering what I can learn from the experts and what the pros and cons of each are.

Begin!

I guess it's not as easy as it used to be. I can remember using ICS back in the day. http://[url%3D%22http://[URL%22""] http://4sysops.com/archives/how-to-share-wi-fi-in-windows-8-with-internet-connection-sharing-ics/[/URL]] Looks like more work to setup now...although I was not using WIFI...

WHAT DO YOU KNOW! I rebooted the PC after using the WMC key that was not supposed to work...and now I have WMC available to me. Unfortunately I can't think of a use for it. :rambo:

Katee Sackoff is in it. B)

Longmire on A&E. Just finished watching the first season. Have to continue catching up on the 2nd. I really like it.

Ever get this fixed? Your post made me remember that I bought a WMC key for Win8 back when there was a special FREE deal on them. Went to install it, they recognized the key, then the install failed for some reason. Anything I need to do to get WMC installed with the key I got? I never even...

Howdy- Anybody use Virtual Router Plus? I could see this being useful for me because my mITX system has built in WiFi, that currently I never use. I could potentially use this program on my upstairs Win 8.1 Pro computer to have a wireless hotspot closer to where I have my wireless devices as...

I tried to give the Win8 Metro UI as much of a chance as I could. But, it really just sucks on a PC. On a phone or tablet I could see it working just fine. Feels soooo good to have Classic Shell installed. Thanks for the tip! I love the Win8 file copy dialog box. It dynamically shows the...

I just had a WD20EARS fail a few months after the warranty expired. Didn't have a lot of use but it was in my file server.... always kept relatively cool. My first real failure.

Everything is gone except for the: Scythe Ninja SCNJ-1000 Heatsink S775 Hardware included but Easily modifiable to be used on Socket 1155 ( I did this and am using one in my Bitfenix Prodigy)

I'm using File Versions to backup to a network folder on my file server. Didn't even need to create a mapped drive, it just uses the machine/share name. I like how File Versions works. You can tell it how often you want it to save a version of a file that's changing (i.e. 1hr for example) and...

So I am using 8.1 Pro now and it seems to rapidly being easier to navigate as I get familiar with it. Not to bad, actually, even without Start8 or any other replacement. I'm trying to go without it just to learn the base OS. One thing I DID find out, networked HP OfficeJect 8500 Pro A909 can...

Anything functionality wise that Win7 can do that Win8 can't?

How do Classic Shell and Start8 compare? Advantages/disadvantages of each? Maybe I'll finally use my $40 Win8Pro disk. If I were to do a Fresh install, are there any recommendations? Slipstreaming 8.1 ? Do I need a Hotmail account? Thanks....I have not been able to follow this stuff!

What a great movie. As a Dad, I really appreciate Nick Nolte's performance. Warrior http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1291584/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Good for the SOX! They deserved it. After all, they beat my Tigers. :)

Chewy509- Sorry to hear your bad news. My neighbor across the street from me was diagnosed with MS about 5 years ago, also early on. She is doing great, is very active, plays women's hockey as well as does long distance bike riding. She lives a very normal happy life! Also, it looks like...

I hope it's better than the first one. Looking forward to giving it a chance.

Turns out Hard Disk Sentinel will give an actual number for start/stops (instead of some Hex value) that appears to work. You have to dig through some settings and tweak it a bit. It increments when I refresh the data after a known stop/start of the spindles. I'll let it run for a day or...

It's one of the 3tb Seagates available on Amazon.

Howdy, The HDD in my machine is set to go to sleep after about 1hr of idle time. It does that but I have noticed that once in a while it will just spin up for no apparent reason. It is just a data drive with no swap file or any system files of any significance on it. I'm wondering how often...
