wonderful pics and information Tony. I look forward to more.

This is for an 18 month term, which I would presume would be the day after this poll closes, 6 days from now, this your tenure would being on the 15th of September. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this, Merc. Nominees are listed in alphabetical order. Good luck to all nominees! edit: removed...

time has declined, we're just waiting for Coug to accept or decline. foot goes tap, tap, tap.

good point Howell. all those that have been nominated, please accept or decline your nominations. thanks.

righto, I'll set up a poll in 24 hours, this will allow for any last minute nominations. so far Santilli, Coug, flagreen and myself are the only ones that have put forward our nominations. does anyone else have anybody they'd like to nominate?

so what did he do that was wrong? it was no event.

thanks Merc. that's good to hear. are they USB2 or Firewire? I've read mixed reports about copying CD>CD over USB 1 or 2. some say it works, otyhers have problems with too much CPU utilisation. I bought an external enclosure like the one above for my sister about 6 months ago. it's a Firewire...

in the quest to keep my main PC safe from kiddie hads, I've bene thining about putting my CD & DVD RW drives into external USB2 enclosures and placing them on top of my desk. Firewire enclosures are an option but I prefer USB2 because A) they're cheaper and B) my BIOS supports USB CD devices...

the door is lockable yes but the catch is down the bottom of the door. the door is so flimsy though that it flexes so much that the top of the door is an inch off it's seat, and with little effort. a decent pull will break it. I could put a lock with a catch up top I guess but I'm not sure it...

almost always I find a local buyer and I arrange for them to pick it up from my place of work. on the occasion that it's an interstate buyer, I always have the buyer arrange a courier from their end. Overclockers Australia has a very healthly PC parts exchange forum and because my sale prices...

I just bought a few Thermaltake 120mm fans which I plan to run at 7V. they should still be good for 40CFM and be virtually silent. they are going into my new case, an Aopen H700B. I have an Asetek Waterchill kit I want to place inside. I haven't decided whether to locate the rad & fan at the...

actually I meant to add Buck and time to the my list of nominees but somehow didn't. so far the nominees are (in Alphabetical order): blakerwry Buck Cougtek Pradeep Santilli The JoJo time Merc, in James absence, I beleive you should continue until another mod is placed.

Merc. I've spent years around manic depressives and I have been counseled by experts in the field. I do have a good understanding of the nature of your condition. your words and reactions do seem typical of someone going through a period of depression except for one thing, you *are* still...

since you seem to have no intentions of doing anything about your own situation Merc, why take up our time in trying to help you?

well I must say I'm rather saddened to read you write that Merc. please, don't succumb to such defeatist thoughts, it's not right on any level. I challenge you provide just one good reason why it could be. you, like most any intelligent person, has the ability to take at least some control of...

no idea mate. a work colleague e-mailed it to me. wouldn't surprise me at all if it was Aussie.

sorry if this offends!

how can you properly imagine what you might or might not do without at east going through the experience once or twice. if you were to find yourself in an interesting places like Vienna, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Melbourne (:wink:), etc, you find that there are a many , many things you can choose to do...

2 x 512 Cosair PC3500C2 V1.1. special edition Platinum series. review on ExtremeOverclocking.com make an offer!

I use Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 2 to create all my own DVD's. works great. menu and chapter creation is a breeze and it's powerful enough to allow for some neat designs and styles. I think they have a demo for download too.

sorry Tea, I failed to contribuite at all to the topic of this thread. I too agree that the Gainward Golden Sample Ultra/1600 XP would be the fastest. Gainward select the fastest RAM to suit and sell it already overclocked. second to that would likely be the Leadtek 5900U card.

I second that recommendation.

what an unfortunate name... seemingly others have Pradeep's sense of humour too. http://www.the-inquirer.com/?article=5917

for the last few weeks, the largest melbourne based astronomy club has setting up in various places around town doing public views (for a donation of course). slo crostic and I have been planning to go for while but didn't get ourselves organised until last night. we made our way to last night's...

good call Pradeep. DVDShrink works great on my A06, both v2.3 and v3.b5. the OEM drive (106) should still come with Nero5.5 (at least in Aus it does) and Nero 5.5 can happily burn DVDShrunk rips :wink:

I have the A06 and I'm very happy with it. I've yet to have it fail to write on the various media's I've tried (Verbatim, Melody, Princo, Ricoh & Shintaro. mainly -R & +RW). IIRC, 106 is bundled with almost the same software so you may be better of saving a few $$$ and getting that instead. One...

congrats! where Bartender when you need him?

and thanks for taking them!

the thing is though, there is no need to defend myself with a gun because the likelyhood of an attacker having a gun is very, very small. now if I were to arm myself despite this very, very small chance I would need to defend myself with a gun, then what's to stop my neighbour arming himself in...

'twas very sad to see Mr Heston suffer from foot-in-mouth. I'm glad you brought it up Merc. slo crostic and I saw it about 2 months ago and we thought it was to quote you verbatim "... thought provoking and at times profound." we talked about creatiung a discussion on it on SF in fact however...

Merc, I tried as well but couldn't PM. could you e-mail me as well please: V8gent@GMH-Torana.com. cheers

statsman has been down for ages. perhaps Doug should change the homepage F@H link to point to folding.extremeoverclocking.com stats.

I'd go the P4 Tea. HT does make an O/S like W2K and XP more responsive and given Photoshop's SMP capabilites it'll definitely be better than a similar spec'd Athlon. Photoshop Elements though is not SMP aware afaik.

I live in hope that the intelligent majority of US, UK and Aus citizens finally realise that the WMD dribbled spewed forth by the leaders of these countries is, and always was total BS. maybe then these "leaders" will be held accountable for their Willfull Mass Deception.

'tis a nie printer indeed. I'd like to get AU$100 for it but it's a buyers market so who knows what I'll be able it get...

love the Raptor, it's by far the fastest drive I've ever had. WinXP loads in about 10sec... the new system is great too. I gave it a good test last night. I had the following tasks running in parallel: render some video & burn to DVD defrag C: full file system virus scan 2 x folding instances...

HP 970Cxi Professional Series Deskjet, two years old, purchased for AU$600. fantastic laser quality business printer with duplex module enabling two-sided page printing. 5000 page monthly duty cycle. photo prints on photo paper are absolutely amazing. can print on all sorts of paper...

payback's a bitch...

I can't see the images, the page just times out. I tried from two different connections too :(

I use a few Geocities accounts to host images. each account gives you 15MB. "it won't work" you may be thinking because Geocoties don't allow offsite linking to images. whilst this is true, they don't stop offsite linking to text documents. all I do is rename image file names with a .txt...

all sold.

right, I've had my fun with these items and have no reason to keep them either since I've learnt that the TFC mod for HL2 is a loooong way off. basically I got them just have a bit of a play see what all the fuss was about these items. vid card and RAM are in perfect condition. nothing been...

the minimum wage here in Oz is AU$431.40 for a standard 38-hour week. times that by 52 weeks (inc 4 weeks leave) and our minimum yearly wage is is AU$22,432.80 or US$14,557.80 in todays dollars. pretty sad as well :( it's hard to make an overall comparison because the cost of living would be...

6/40 and I guessed 2 of them right heh. hey maw, get of tha dang roof!

that's an interesting link Howell. apparently Melbourne (Oz) and Chicago are within a factor 1.006 of each other.
